Today is Summer Solstice! This is now regarded as the first day of summer, but has been celebrated in many ways since Pagan times.
This date also has the longest day and shortest night of the year.
Summer Solstice has also been known as Midsummer (as in Night’s Dream), St John’s Day and Litha.
Enjoy the day however you feel best to celebrate it.
All I can say at this point is, the longest day of the year would have to be a Monday!
Here is a good instructional video on how to appropriately celebrate the day.
And here is some video of today’s celebration at Stonehenge in the UK:
