Litha Tarot Card- The Wheel of the Year

Litha — The Summer Solstice Festival of Sun & Abundance Around June 21st · Solar Festival · Wheel of the Year Litha is the Pagan holiday celebrated at the Summer Solstice, the longest day of the year. Honouring the sun at its peak and associated with abundance, vitality, fire, growth, and the turning point when the days begin to shorten again. In Wicca and modern neopaganism, Litha is often portrayed as the moment when the Oak King, ruler of the waxing year, is defeated by the Holly King, symbolising the shift from growing light to encroaching darkness — a spiritual duality reflecting the endless turning of the Wheel of the Year. Like Beltane, fire is a central element of Litha, and it is also considered a time when the faerie folk pass into the human world at twilight to offer blessings. Whether gathering around a bonfire, weaving wildflower crowns, or simply basking in the warmth of the sun, Litha invites us to celebrate abundance, passion, and the beauty of life at its most luminous. This card is part of the Roselee Pewter Wheel of the Year tarot collection — handcrafted sand cast pewter cards celebrating the turning of the seasons.
