Wiccan Rituals Midsummer Summer Solstice June 2015

Wicca summer butterfly.jpgOn June 21, 2015 Midsummer or the Summer Solstice marks the longest day of the year. In Wiccan traditions, the Holly King vanquishes the Oak King and we begin our slow and steady descent toward the darkness of winter.

Midsummer is an ideal time for spells and rituals to help you find direction, solutions to your problems and the determination to revolve them.

If you live in the southern hemisphere, Australia, for example, you should read my posts on Yule, the Winter Solstice.
