Counted cross stitch bookmark kit ☀️ "Wheel of the Year: Litha" 🌻
ℹ️ Litha, also known as "Midsummer" or the "Summer Solstice", is the longest day of the year — a celebration of light, fire, abundance, and the fullness of life. Traditionally observed around June 21st, Litha marks the peak of the sun's power and is one of the eight sabbats in the Wheel of the Year. It honors the balance of nature, the sacred fire element, and the earth's generous bounty. Also called: "Alban Hefin" (Welsh), "Midsommar" (Swedish), "Sankthans" (Norwegian/Danish), "Jāņi" (Latvian), "Juhannus" (Finnish), and "Saint John's Day" in many Christian cultures. Litha honors the balance of nature, the sacred fire element, and the earth's generous bounty.
🌞 Celebrated by Pagan, Wiccan, and Druid communities, Litha is associated with bonfires, sun wheels, herbs, sunflowers, and rituals of passion, protection, and growth. It is a time to express gratitude, gather energy, and enjoy the brilliance of the season.
🌾 This needlework project offers a joyful and creative way to connect with the energy of summer. Whether as a meditative practice or a handmade seasonal gift, each stitch invites light, vitality, and solar magic into your space.
🔍 This is a counted cross stitch kit – the canvas has NO PRINT on it. Please note: this is not a stamped kit; you follow a paper chart to complete the design.
🧵 Partly stitched: this cross stitch kit does not require you to work the entire background. This makes the embroidery process quicker, and the finished piece bright and festive.
📐 The embroidery pattern was created by a certified specialist and thoroughly tested — it was stitched before printing!
