Litha is also known as midsummer and the Summer Solstice. This is the time of the year when summer is in full swing. This holiday is celebrated by greeting the dawn. If you are not the party type and would rather sleep and get up to greet the dawn you may. However, many Pagans like to celebrate with an "all nighter" and will go to bed after they have greeted the dawn. This is also the holiday of the battle of the Oak and Holly Kings. If you wish you amy re-enact the battle as a game of two teams.
Foods for this holiday include a theme of golds and reds. You can create a bread bowl in the shape of the sun. You can make anything with carrots, oranges, bananas, red bell peppers, lemons and summer squash. Litha is a Sabbat that is celebrated outside in the form of a picnic or Bar-B-Que. Some drinks that are enjoyed during this holiday are cyder, honey mead, apple juice, and for the adults...fruit juice and vodka!
