I was bored this weekend, so I decided to do some artwork.

This image was inspired by the upcoming pagan holiday of Litha. Or, as it is more commonly known, Summer Solstice.

Sometimes called Midsummer, LItha is celebrated on, or close to the summer solstice. Litha is one of eight solar holidays, or sabbats of Neopaganism. The holiday is considered a turning point at which summer reaches its height and the sun shines longest. We are reminded that after the summer solstice, the days begin to become shorter. At Litha, special attention is given to our "inner Sun" that dwells inside each one of us. That spark of divinity that animates our Soul and keeps us connected to the infinite.

The deity shown in the pic above are of Amun-Ra, one of the most important solar deities of the ancient Egyptians. Amun-Ra seemed appropriate for observing LItha.
