03/06 - Festival in honour of Bellona

Festival in honour of Bellona

Bellona was an Ancient Roman goddess of war, similar to the Ancient Greek Enyo. Bellona's attribute is a sword and she is depicted wearing a helmet and armed with a spear and a torch.

07/06 - 15/06 - Vestalia, in honour of Vesta

Vestalia, in honour of Vesta

Vesta was celebrated at the Vestalia which took place from June 7 to June 15. On the first day of the festivities the penus Vestae (the curtained sanctum sanctorum of her temple) was opened, for the only time during the year, for women to offer sacrifices in. Such sacrifices included the removal of an unborn calf from a pregnant cow.

Vesta is the virgin goddess of the hearth, home, and family in Roman religion. Vesta's presence is symbolized by the sacred fire that burned at her hearth and temples. Her closest Greek equivalent is Hestia.

13/06 - Quinquatrus minusculae, in honour of Minerva

Quinquatrus minusculae, in honour of Minerva

In ancient Roman religion, the Quinquatria or Quinquatrus was a festival sacred to Minerva. As this festival was sacred to Minerva, it seems that women were accustomed to consult fortune-tellers and diviners upon this day. There was also another festival of this name called Quinquatrus Minusculae or Quinquatrus Minores, celebrated on the Ides of June, on which the tibicines went through the city in procession to the temple of Minerva.

19/06 - Adonia, in honour of Adonis

Adonia, in honour of Adonis

Adonia, or Adonic feasts, was an ancient festival mourning the death of Adonis. The date is uncertain, but may have been early Spring, or summer. It was a private, rather than a state festival, and was celebrated by women exclusively.

20/06 - Festival in honour of Summanus

Festival in honour of Summanus

In ancient Roman religion, Summanus was the god of nocturnal thunder, as counterposed to Jupiter, the god of diurnal (daylight) thunder.

The Fire Festival of Lithia

Midsummer or the Summer Solstice is the most powerful day of the year for the Sun God. Because this Sabbat glorifies the Sun God and the Sun, fire plays a very prominent role in this festival. The element of Fire is the most easily seen and immediately felt element of transformation. It can burn, consume, cook, shed light or purify and balefires still figure prominently at modern Midsummer rites.
