Summer Solstice Midsummer, Litha, Alban Hefin, Seventh Station of the Year/All Heras/Islamic New Year
Midsummer, Druidic festival of Alban Hefin, Anglo-Saxon Litha, is the longest day and seventh station of the year, the time of sanctification. At Stonehenge, the heelstone marks the midsummer sunrise as seen from the center of the stone circle. Since time immemorial, people have acknowledged the rising sum of midsummer. This is also the Day of all Heras in the women’s mysteries. Heras are women who have achieved full spirual communion with the Great Goddess.
