How to prepare for your tarot spread?
Before doing your reading, you can work with your intuition to enhance spirituality and establish a deeper connection with the cards and the surrounding energy of Litha.
Intuition is a fantastic resource that we all have, but not everyone knows how to appreciate, develop, or value it. Intuition is a gut feeling that guides us towards one thing over another.
We nurture it every time we listen to it.
- Take your tarot deck, find a quiet moment for yourself, close your eyes, listen to yourself, and play with the cards. Let yourself be inspired and guided by the symbols and colors that will lead you to the next spin of the wheel.
- Gather seasonal herbs like Hypericum, lavender, and rosemary, and prepare St. John’s water, said to maintain beauty and youth.
- Collect oregano, thyme, marjoram, sage, rosemary, basil, and mint to dry; use them in the kitchen, create incense, or purification rituals.
- Put on your freshest and lightest dress and take a walk, focusing on the colors, perfumes, and everything that makes you feel the magic of this special moment.
- Train your intuition with Tarot, meditation, research, or study if you don’t know how to nourish it, rediscover it, and understand why it’s so important to cherish this resource.
- Celebrate the Goddess of Summer, Demeter, the one who grows the crop and symbolizes not only the love of children and family but also the love you can feel towards yourself.
- Be grateful for all the goals achieved so far, start a gratitude journal, take stock of these six months, and celebrate the goals achieved.
- Decorate the altar or a corner of the house with seasonal buds and flowers, garlands, and red, yellow, orange, and green ribbons, candles.

What is Litha?
The summer solstice is a magical celebration, marking the longest day of the year, celebrated with time spent outdoors, sacred bonfires, propitiatory rituals, dances, and gratitude.
For the Celts, this time of year was known as Litha, when summer reaches its maximum strength and splendor. A pagan ritual intertwined with Christian traditions and the harvesting of the hundred herbs, also known as the water of San Giovanni.
Despite being imperceptible, from this date onwards, the sunny days begin to decrease. It is the time of the first harvest, and farmers loved to celebrate this date with propitiatory and abundance rites, jumping over the fires as a wish for the next harvest.
Litha’s characteristics of being a “day out of time” are very different from those of Samhain. Litha has the reverse qualities, where things are often reversed or confused, with the power of opposites, such as setting candles to float on water.
June 21st is the peak of summer, which is why Litha is often called Midsummer.
The symbolism of Litha
Litha is the Wiccan holiday celebrated around the summer solstice when the sun reaches its maximum power, giving us the brightest day of the year (commonly known as the Midsummer Festival).
In this period, we can enjoy long days, abundant harvests, flowery meadows, mild temperatures, and a series of natural phenomena worth celebrating.
