Litha - Summer Solstice Handmade Soy Wax Eco Friendly Vegan Candle Alter Witchy Pagan Wheel Of The Year Hand Poured in Wales

Litha (Summer Solstice) 20th June - 22nd June The Summer Solstice, which is known to some pagans as Litha, honours the power of the sun on the longest day of the year. It is a celebration of abundance and, when the earth is overflowing with growth. The sun shines at its strongest, reminding us of the life-giving force that sustains us. We have clear evidence of the importance of this to our ancestors, thanks to monuments like Stonehenge in Wiltshire. At the summer solstice, the first rays of the sunrise align perfectly with the Heel Stone, if you view the sunrise from the middle of the stone circle. The Summer Solstice invites us to pause & appreciate the fullness of summer; fruits ripening on trees, lush greenery & the buzzing activity of the natural world in full swing. At the same time, it carries reminds us that the year is beginning to turn. While we can be grateful for the peak of the light, we are also reminded that the days will grow shorter. This dual awareness invites balance; how can we celebrate brightness & abundance while preparing ourselves for rest & reflection? Every candle is handmade to order especially for you. A repurposed beer bottle container filled with Earth friendly soy wax & your choice of scent. Topped with a natural wooden lid to protect from dust particles when not in use. For the best possible burn, on the first initial light, allow the wax to melt to the very edges of the jar - if you don't do this, it can cause the candle to tunnel down resulting in wasted wax. Ideally only burn for a maximum of 4 hours at a time. Trim the wick before each burn to around 5mm by trimming off the burnt ends once cooled. Not trimming the wick will cause the flame to become large & cause black soot on the jar. Time for a new positive lifestyle change with an upcycled beer bottle candle!
