Introduction
Summer Strawberry Rhubarb Pies
The summer months are a time of great magic and celebration. From Beltain, Litha (the solstice) to Lammas, the summer season is filled with rituals, spells, and offerings to the gods and goddesses of the earth. As the warm sun shines down on us and the earth comes alive with the colors of the season, we are reminded of the power of nature and the magic that surrounds us.
One of the best ways to celebrate the magic of summer is by enjoying the delicious fruits of the season. In particular, strawberries and rhubarb are two of the most popular fruits in Wiccan tradition, and they are often used in spells and rituals as symbols of love, fertility, and abundance.
