@WitchAngel111 Sometimes keeping it sweet and simple really is best- and what a lovely Litha tarot spread you did! Those are three cards each with their own positivity and encouragement for you, and with some tasty honey cakes, that’s a wonderful start to the new season! 
@Martje Feet massages and fun witchy visits- what a week you have ahead, Martje, I hope you have a wonderful time! 
And no, I haven’t heard of Sage but I love the name and it sounds very interesting, I’ll have to check them out- thanks for the recommendation! 
That is really nice of you, Martje- the community was built on love and respect but what keeps it going is all of the wonderful folks like you who water it with love and brightness 
It’s thanks to you that Spells8 continues to grow, and Infinite Roots continues to spread across the seas! 
@Amethyst Thank you, Amethyst!
@Torista Oh, Torista- I know it’s a work in progress, but it is already looking amazing- look at those rays of sun! I love how you added the streaks of white to give it a magickal glow. It is really stunning to see 
And that is interesting to hear about the deity- I suppose the only way to know for sure who the boy in your dreams is is to ask him! Perhaps you can inquire when he visits you next. After all, I think you have the right to ask after finishing his commission 
@Murphy Absolutely gorgeous, Murphy! That Triple Goddess altar cloth is fantastic, and the colors are perfect for Litha 
And salmon!?! Any leftovers? I’m on my way~ 
I love grilled salmon- it’s a really nice summertime meal 
Thanks for sharing and Happy Solstice!
@MeganB That is such a fun craft, and you make it sound so easy and fun to do! I love how your suncatcher turned out- it looks like you captured the moment of the sunset in the frame, it’s really beautiful 
I can imagine the kids had a blast making them!
@Artemisia Oh no, I’m so sorry to hear about the reaction- are you doing better today? I hope it continues to heal and that the discomfort fades asap 
Thank you for taking the time to share your lovely entry even despite what you had going on- it’s a delight to see your beautiful gardens! 
I hope your tarot cards helped guide you to where you need to be, and a big thanks to the wonderful Donut for supervising your reading session 
Lovely gift too- hooray for solstice presents! 
@Mistella The idea of saving flowers from the nursing home- all those blossoms sent with heartfelt love and well-wishes- and preserving them for another life and purpose on the altar is so beautiful I want to cry 
And that is not only really moving, it’s super creative too Mistella! Not to mention that your Litha altar is gorgeous- it makes a very impressive display with all the flowers and the candle 
Your gardens look stunning- things are very happy there! I love the arrangements around the tree trunk too. And that golden sun! Oh! What a stunning display- are those feathers or leaves as the rays? Gorgeous 
Really beautiful work here- thanks so much for sharing!
@Sarafeena_Sage Ohhhh drift sticks add that nice touch of Water Element and have such a lovely rustic look to them- your pentagram turned out amazing! 
The beads are a very crafty touch- I like how you used different ones to give variety, it is going to look amazing and so sparkly in the sunlight!
I want to jump through the computer screen and visit the creek- what a blessing to have such a lovely place close by! 
@TheMuslimWitch I remember you’ve been working with your fire energy lately, I can imagine that has strengthened your bond with the sun even more! 
And there’s nothing like a good sun soak to chase away the darkness- I’m glad you had a nice ritual
@stavroula I’m so glad you enjoyed the challenge and that you were able to learn new things- especially through connecting with your local traditions, that is so fun! Your altar looks stunning too, the flowers you got really add such a boost of bright summery colors
Really gorgeous setup- and I love the addition of the seashells! 
Have a blessed Litha and happy solstice!
The Props and Presents post for this challenge is now LIVE in the forum and badges have been sent out to everyone who shared an entry. Thanks again to everyone who joined in with some solstice and sabbat celebrations!
Three cheers to the Solstice Celebrants- have a bright and blessed solstice!
I hope you like it 
Thank you so much to everyone who shared their solstice-y magick in time for this special day!
Keep on dancing! 
This year is going to mark many important changes for me in my life. I will be graduating with my doctoral degree - I will officially be a Doctor of Education in Organizational Leadership with a Behavioral Health Emphasis, I also turn 40, AND I am starting on a new and exciting career journey. While it is full of excitement, it is also of course fraught with some anxiety as well. While my change in work is MUCH needed (I have discussed here before about my current toxic workplace and boss), and the opportunity I have decided to embark on is one that I cannot possibly turn down, it is in essence a start up business so of course there is some level of uncertainty with that endeavor.
