Ingredients

Summer Solstice is a proprietary seasonal fragrance blend from Escential Essences, made in the USA. The full formula is the maker's own; because it is a fragrance blend rather than a single botanical, treat it as a seasonal, all-purpose celebration incense.

The Spiritual Significance

Litha, the Summer Solstice, is one of the eight sabbats of the witch's Wheel of the Year, falling around June 21 when the sun reaches its highest point and the day is longest. It is a fire festival of light, abundance, vitality, and joy, traditionally marked with bonfires, feasting, and celebration of the sun at the peak of its power. Warm, bright incense is a natural part of that observance.

This blend is made to carry that midsummer energy: burned at a Litha altar, it helps set a radiant, celebratory tone for honoring the sun, working abundance and manifestation magic, or simply giving thanks at the year's high point. Because it is a fragrance blend rather than a single herb, it carries no one fixed correspondence; it is keyed instead to the season itself, the warmth and fullness of midsummer.

You can light a cone to open a solstice ritual, to bless a midsummer gathering, or to invite the sun's brightness and abundance into your home at any time of year.

How To Use Summer Solstice Incense Cones

1. Place a cone on a heat-safe cone burner or holder, on a stable surface away from anything flammable.
2. Light the tip until it glows, then gently blow out the flame so the cone smolders and releases its smoke.
3. As the scent rises, name your intention, perhaps celebration, abundance, or gratitude for the light, and let the warmth fill your space.
4. Allow the cone to burn down while you stay nearby, keeping the room ventilated.
5. When finished, make sure the cone is fully out and cold before leaving the space, and store the rest in a cool, dry place.

Pairs Well With

• Brass Cone Incense Burner: this pack does not include a burner, and these cones need a heat-safe holder; a brass cone burner catches the ash and is ready to use.
• Fool's Gold Pyrite Charm: pyrite, the sun-bright stone of abundance, a natural companion for Litha prosperity work.
• Tiger's Eye, Citrine & Black Tourmaline Protection Bracelet: citrine for solar abundance, a wearable ally for solstice celebration.
• Citronella Candle in Cast Iron Cauldron: a bright summer candle for warm-weather gatherings and outdoor altar work.
• Golden Mirage Incense Sticks by Sonavi: a golden frankincense and benzoin blend to extend the sun-bright, celebratory theme.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Litha, and how does this incense fit a Summer Solstice celebration?

Litha is the witch's sabbat of the Summer Solstice, around June 21, the longest day and the sun at its peak. It is celebrated with fire, feasting, and joy. This warm, bright blend is made to set that radiant tone at a solstice altar or gathering.

How many cones come in a pack, and how long do they burn?

Each pack holds sixteen long-burning cones. Cone burn time varies with size and conditions, but these are made to smolder slowly, releasing a steady plume of fragrance, generous enough for a full ritual or an evening of celebration.

Do I need a special burner for cones?

Cones need a heat-safe surface that can take the heat and catch the ash, ideally a cone burner or a dish of sand or ash. Place it on a stable, non-flammable surface and never leave it burning unattended.

Can I burn this any time, or only at the solstice?

Any time. While it is made for Litha, the warm, sun-bright scent is lovely whenever you want to invite brightness, abundance, or celebration into a space, from a midwinter pick-me-up to a summer gathering.

Where is it made?

Escential Essences makes these cones in the USA as part of their Old and New World collection of seasonal and ritual blends.
