Midsummer/Summer Solstice Ceremony and Rituals
Midsummer or the summer solstice marks the longest day of the year and is one of eight festivals on the Wiccan Wheel of the Year. In 2022, this first day of summer occurs on June 20, at 5:13 a.m. EDT. Though it seems that summer has just begun, daylight will now decrease as we begin our slow and steady descent toward the shorter days of winter.

Midsummer Spell for Direction and Resolution June 20, 2021
Wiccan traditions deem that Midsummer is an ideal time for spells and rituals to find direction and the determination to settle unresolved problems. You may ask yourself, “What have I accomplished so far? What is still left to do before the end of the summer?”
You will need the following items: one gold candle, vervain oil and rosemary incense.
Now that half the year is over, it’s time to face any unsolved dilemmas. Ask the Goddess Diana to guide your meditation. No matter how insignificant a situation may seem, if it comes to mind now, a solution is worth pursuing! The simple spell in my Wheel of the Year ebook is ideal for a Midsummer ceremony.
Blessed be and Happy Midsummer!
