    How We Celebrated Litha: Food, Fire & Seasonal Magic

    June 26, 2025 /

    The celebration of Litha, the summer solstice, honors growth, warmth, and the fire that is the focal point of the season. Slowing down and celebrating time with purpose, delicious food, and a little seasonal magic are also important to us. Here’s the breakdown of our Litha weekend celebration. Three days of getting together, cooking, laughing, and making plans made up this year’s celebration, which was straightforward but incredibly fulfilling. We eschewed the ornate altar setup in favor of what felt authentic: grilled meals, herbs from the garden, a backyard bonfire (in the end), and peaceful times spent at the table. Some of it was planned, much of it was intuitive,…

    Watermelon Witch Water: A Magical Summer Mocktail

    June 24, 2025 /

    If you’ve wandered through #WaterTok on TikTok lately, you’ve probably seen it: loaded waters. Big tumblers brimming with ice, coconut water, electrolyte packets, and bubbly prebiotic sodas. Some turn neon pink, others stay crystal clear, but all of them promise flavor-packed hydration and a little bit of sparkle for your daily water intake. Honestly, I get it. Staying hydrated should feel good. Bright colors and fizzy textures can make it easier to sip throughout the day. In my world, though, hydration is more than a trend. It’s a ritual. A quiet way to connect to your body, your season, and your space. That’s where Watermelon Witch Water comes in. What…

Today’s Magic: The Summer Solstice arrives! As the sun reaches its peak, consider this:

“The longest day of the year is a celebration of warmth, abundance, and light. Ancient traditions marked the Solstice by gathering outdoors, honoring the sun, and sharing gratitude for all that grows. Light a candle, brew a cup of lemon balm or chamomile tea, or take a moment to bask in the sun—even if just for a few breaths. These small rituals connect us to the magic woven into this turning of the Wheel.”

Let today be a little ritual:
Open a window, let sunlight flood in, sip something herbal, or jot down what's blooming in your life right now. Happy Solstice!
