As part of our commitment to the Unitarian Earth Spirit Network (ESN), a group for those who see the divine in nature, we have created a script to celebrate the pagan summer solstice festival of Litha. You can download it below.
ESN will offer template scripts for each of the eight Wheel of the Year ceremonies over the coming year, as well as continuing with the annual 'File' publication of poems, readings, musings which is distributed to ESN Members.
We hope that these scripts will support Unitarians and others to hold Wheel of the Year ceremonies for their groups and congregations.
Litha/Summer Solstice – the festival of lasting light and passion.
