Litha – Summer Solstice Song by Lisa Thiel

Lisa Thiel is a singer/songwriter who has produced music that celebrates the cycle of the sun and the spiritual mother goddess from various spiritual traditions.

Litha (Summer Solstice Song) is a song from her album, Circle of the Seasons, and it explores the power of the sun/fire as a guiding force within. Here are a few of the lyrics:

I am the fire that burns within your soul

I am the Holy light that fills and makes you whole

I am the Flame within, that never dies

I am the sun that will ever arise ¹

The lyrics evoke the feeling of how the Spiritual Son/sun (a higher spiritual aspect of a person’s individual being) helps a person reunite with divinity on the path to enlightenment. In The Path of the Spiritual Sun, Belsebuub describes this as:

Both the fire of the sun and earthly fire give light and life, and are what allow us to see in the physical world. Likewise, on a spiritual level, the Son within brings spiritual light and life to our own inner darkness, which is the darkness of the human personality and the subconscious.²

The summer solstice is the time of greatest light in the year, with the sun reaching its highest point in the sky. On a spiritual level, this special time is symbolic of spiritual ascension, attaining enlightenment and reuniting with the divine,³ and Lisa’s song captures some of these elements in a warm and melodic way.
