Summer (Art)

Summer is an Seelie Art of the Kithain.

Overview

The Summer Art is among the most celebrated magics of the Kithain, and is particularly associated with the Seelie Court. This powerful seasonal Art harnesses the magic of fire, of passion, of hot days of longing and nights of dreaming. Many changelings regard it as an invaluable tool in coaxing Glamour from the cynical heart of the Autumn World.

While the Summer Art is broadly thought of as Seelie magic, the truth is that Kithain of both courts value and practice it, noble and commoner alike. Indeed, the Unseelie have made passion their watchword, and find the Summer Art suits them exceptionally well. Out of all the Kithain, it is most popular among the sidhe, satyrs, and selkies.
