Litha, a fire festival, celebrates the God's life. It's a holiday of transition, when the God transfroms from a young warrior to an aging sage. It's a time for rejoicing and introspection, making sure that plans are on track and correcting negative aspects in life. Litha is the modern name for the Sabbat, as there is no record of a historical one.
