Welcome to the longest day.
Midsummer asks, what will I let myself be celebrated for?
From Your Guide to Litha
The sun reaches its apex. The days stretch longer than they will at any other point in the year, and the light lingers like it does not want to leave. This is Litha. The Summer Solstice. The peak of the solar year.

where it sits on the Wheel
Midsummer lives in peak light
On the Wheel, Midsummer is the deep point of peak light... the arc that opens at Beltane and begins its turn at Lammas.
If peak light is the season you resist, you are what I call a Moonflower. These are the pages that make you flinch, so go gently and go anyway.
