The Summer Solstice is the longest day of the year. I can personally attest to that this year because of the amazing lack of sleep I've had the past few days. There is just too much 'information' in the air. I've been sleeping approximately 4-5 hours each night and normally I would suffer a severe detriment. This week, however, I feel bouncy and energized.
The Solstice, celebrated as the Pagan midsummer sabbat of Litha, is considered the turning point of the Wheel of the Year. After today the light of the sun grows dimmer, inching slowly towards the longest night of the year, the Winter Solstice. This year, for the Northern Hemisphere, the Summer Solstice occurs June 20th 11:09pm (U. S. Eastern) / 23:09 (GMC).
