Old Litha (what to do)

Well but what could you do to celebrate this day beside some witchy or pagan rituals, that seem kinda wierd sometimes? I could tell you some crazy and extraordinary ideas, but we know, that we need some more settled ways to re-celebrate Litha. What you can always do is place some nice candles next to your door (on each side one). So everytime you leave your home/room and come back you can feel yourself purified and enforced by the flames you pass through. Anyway some nicly situated candles and warm coloured things like some orange pillows in your living room or bright yellow and red flowers on your kitchen table will make you smile all along. I like to preform some of my ideas outside (here in the park nearby) and just enjoy nature and sunshine as long as possible.

If you want to know more about the origins of Litha and what else you could do, check out this short video I found on Youtube. There was a lot of slightly wierd stuff, but this old lady was just cute, informative and really nice to listen to.
So enjoy if you want to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06rvcqfgOP0

Start the day with an early walk, maybe also look for a nice place
to watch the sunrise with a hot tea and a warm blanket, if needed.

I really like to take a closer look at some leaves or flowers to find
out which ones I like most. Depending on the colour, the shape,
how it feels or where to find it. You can even "harvest" some plants
you like a lot and put in a small vase next to you working place.
This will remind you of the beautiful feeling you had at your walk.

Don´t want to put them in a vase? No problem, find something else
to do with them that makes you happy and smile. Always could just
put them in your hair like I did or even make a wreath out of them
and wear it as a Litha crown.

Saw this idea a while ago and I love it. Why not making a mandala instead of drawing one?
Go outside, sit down somewhere nice and get some flowers, leaves and sticks and creat your own mandala.
This was a lot of fun and I´ll sure do that more often.

Close waters anywhere? Great. Make leaveboats and let the swim
while making a whish or saying thanks.

We were talking about bringing outside in our home. Those mason jar idea seems kinda worn out at some point I know, but you gotta admit...it looks great, is easy, cheap and brings flair to your home in a beautful way.

Even when you just got very little time...lie down and enjoy the
small things in life, they are worth it.

I actually wanted to make a small bonfire tomorrow, but this will
probably won´t work, so I created a little candle garden in my jar.
Not quite a bonfire, but somehow close, right?
