I'm looking for professional or practicing witches and pagans to provide ideas on the best ways to celebrate the summer solstice.
Specifically, I'd like you to provide:
1) Six ways people can authentically celebrate the summer solstice, ideally tying it to ancient customs and rituals from around the world. (Example, building a bonfire, like the Norse did to honor Baldur.)
2) Explain what and when exactly the summer solstice is, and why it's celebrated.
3) Please explain how various historical cultures have celebrated the solstice.
4) Please detail colors, plants, foods, animals, etc that could be associated with the solstice.
5) Please include any website, book you've written, or podcast you host, etc, you'd like me to link to.
