Midsummer is also sometimes referred to by some Neopagans as Litha,[3] stemming from Bede's De temporum ratione which provides Anglo- Saxon names for the months roughly corresponding to June and July as se Ærra Liþa[A] and se Æfterra Liþa (the "early Litha month" and the "later Litha month") with an intercalary month of Liþa appearing after se Æfterra Liþa on leap years.

Thirdly, the wheel which they roll.[6]The fires, explained the monk of Winchcombe, were to drive away dragons, which were abroad on St. John's Eve, poisoning springs and wells.

The wheel that was rolled downhill he gave its explicitly solstitial explanation: "The wheel is rolled to signify that the sun then rises to the highest point of its circle and at once turns back; thence it comes that the wheel is rolled."[7]On St John's Day 1.
