Year-Cycle Festivals Smudging

Eight major festivals have been handed down from the Celts: 4 Sun Festivals, the equinoxes in spring (Ostara) and autumn (Mabon), the shortest day in winter (Yule Festival/Winter Solstice) and the longest day in summer (Litha/Summer Solstice). In addition, there are the 4 Moon Festivals, Imbolc/Candlemas, the Purification Festival February 1-2, then Beltane/Walpurgis Night May 1 the Spring Festival, Lughnasadh/Lammas on August 1, the first harvest festival, and finally Samhain October 31/November 1, the festival of the dead and ancestors.

The festivals are meant to be an expression of joy of life and connection to nature, and characterized by respect for the cycles and changes of nature.

The Wheel of the Year Incense is designed to make the Celtic Wheel of the Year festivals tangible again and to revive the connection to the cycles of nature and their spiritual meaning. The incense is completely prepared and delivered in a resealable glass.
