litha (2026)
Litha takes the form of a solar altar... a symmetrical arrangement of moth wings, bone, roses, crystals, and flame-colored fragments. Named for the summer solstice, the piece reflects the height of the year, when light reaches its fullest expression before beginning its slow descent back toward darkness.
Where Mabon balances abundance with decay, Litha burns at the point of fullest bloom. Its mirrored animal skulls and radiant crystals suggest both power and impermanence: the sun at its brightest, the body at its most alive, the flower at the edge of becoming overripe.
Part of Honey’s Seasonal Altars series, Litha belongs to her witchy visual language... devotional, symbolic, and rooted in the cyclical magic of the natural world. It is a crest for warmth, desire, vitality, and the brief, blazing fullness of midsummer.
