Tomorrow marks the summer solstice (Litha), the longest day in the year. Litha is one of the 8 major pagan festival dates (although a long standing European tradition holds it on the 24th). Litha, or midsummer marks the peak power of the sun god and the start of the decline in the sun god's power which culminates at the autumnal equinox in the battle between the Oak King (summer) and the Holly king (fall).
So happy Solstice!! Litha is a fire festival, fire festivals are high energy, so go have some fun :-)
