ABOUT WICCA - WICCAN ESBATS, SABBATHS, HOLY DAYS, HOLIDAYS & RITUALSHoly Days and Sabbaths to Observe - Litha, Summer Solstice, Midsummer - circa June 22The role of Midsummer was to celebrate the fertility of the land. The Goddess is now portrayed as pregnant Mother as the fields begin to show their ripening fruits.The sun plays an important part in Midsummer rites. Fires are lit to thank the male energy for bestowing its seed and abundance upon the earth. Ashes from any fire you light on Midsummer may be spread over your garden or potted plants to encourage growth. It is considered to be the appropriate time to gather herbs and medicinal plants for storage through the winter and Midsummer is also a holiday where pets and livestock are blessed.
