Key Lime Pie
On the summer solstice, I celebrate Litha The longest day and the shortest night I honor the sun and the earth with a feast And a slice of key lime pie so bright
The pie is made with fresh limes and cream And a crust of graham crackers and butter It has a touch of magic in every bite That makes me feel happy and flutter
I enjoy the pie with a cup of tea And a smile on my face I thank the sun for his warmth and light And the earth for her beauty and grace

Notes
Moon milk is believed to have magical properties that promote relaxation, sleep, and spiritual connection. Lavender is a powerful herb that is often used in spells and rituals to promote tranquility, purification, and harmony. It is said to help calm the mind, soothe anxiety, and facilitate communication with the spiritual realm. Cherries, on the other hand, are associated with abundance, prosperity, and love. By combining these two ingredients in moon milk, we can create a potent brew that promotes restful sleep, deep relaxation, and a profound sense of spiritual connection.
As you sip on your moon milk and gaze up at the moon, take a moment to reflect on the magic and mystery of the universe. Whether you are working with the moon to manifest your desires, to connect with your intuition, or simply to enjoy a peaceful moment of reflection, remember that the power of the moon is always with you, waiting to be harnessed and celebrated.
