Remember: You are the flame. You are the light. This is your moment to rise.
Each year, around this time, we cross the sacred threshold that we call the Summer Solstice. It’s the longest day of the year, when the sun hangs high in the sky and the earth stretches into fullness. In the wheel of the year, this solar high point is known as Litha, a celebration of vitality, joy, and sacred fire.
But this isn’t just a seasonal shift. It’s an invitation to connect to something ancient and powerful inside you.
What Is the Summer Solstice?
The Summer Solstice has been honored across cultures for millennia.
- In Celtic tradition, bonfires were lit on hilltops to honor the sun and protect the land.
- The Inca celebrated Inti Raymi, a festival for the sun god, Inti.
- And in Stonehenge, the first rays of solstice sunrise line up perfectly with the ancient stones that many believe to be a temple of light.
These rituals remind us: the light matters.
And even more importantly—your light matters.
The Energetics of Solstice
The solstice is more than just sunlight. It carries a frequency of:
- Illumination – Let what’s been hidden come fully into view.
- Expansion – This is not a time to shrink. Stretch into your truth.
- Joy – Embody the sacred play of being alive.
- Abundance – The earth is in bloom, and so are you.
- Fire – This is the season of soul ignition. Let it spark something inside of you.
If you’ve been waiting for a sign… this is it. The sun is calling you to rise.
☀️ A Summer Solstice Ritual: The Sunfire Spiral ☀️
This simple ritual is designed to align you with the solstice’s power, along with its clarity, vitality, and inner fire.
You’ll Need:
- A candle (gold, yellow, white, or orange work beautifully)
- A small bowl of water or your favorite sacred mist
- Paper and something to write with (pen, crayon, pencil, whatever makes you smile)
- Optional: your Inner Vision Elixir
- Optional: crystal allies (amethyst, citrine, selenite)
- Optional: your favorite meditation or journaling playlist
Ritual Steps:
1. Prepare Your Sacred Space
Sit outside in the sun or near a sunny window (I love my hammock for this). Cleanse your space with smoke, mist, or intention.
Light your candle and breathe in the solar energy. Feel it awaken your spirit.
2. Draw the Spiral
On your paper, draw a spiral. In the center, write: “My Inner Light.”
Along the spiral lines outward, write anything that reflects your light:
- Gifts you’re ready to share
- Joys that make your spirit glow
- Truths you’re ready to live
- Feelings you’re calling in this summer
This is your light map – it should come from your soul.

3. Anoint & Bless
Dip your fingers in water or mist and gently touch your forehead, heart, and hands, saying:
“May my thoughts be clear,
My heart be open,
My hands be of service to the light.”
4. Seal the Ritual
Blow out the candle with reverence. If outside, offer a song, a flower, or a breath to the Earth.
Say aloud:
“I rise with the sun. I honor the fire within. And so it is.”

Let This Be Your Turning Point
This isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s a portal.
It’s a moment to align, expand, and remember who you are beneath all the noise.
The solstice doesn’t ask you to change—it invites you to reveal.
Reveal your radiance.
Reveal your joy.
Reveal your truth.
You are the light you’ve been waiting for.
