Litha: The Solstice Flame — A Midsummer Candle Inspired by the Wheel of the Year
The wheel turns, and once more, the light reaches its peak.
At Litha — the midsummer solstice — the sun stands highest. The days are long, the nights are warm, and the earth hums with life. This is a season of abundance, of bloom, of quiet celebration beneath open skies.
Our Litha candle is a tribute to this turning point in the year — poured not only for scent, but for ritual, memory, and pause.
The Scent of Litha
-
Bergamot & Apple rise first, like early morning light breaking over fields of wildflowers.
-
At its heart, Jasmine & White Florals bloom softly, carried by the warmth of the solstice air.
-
And beneath it all, Amber, Sandalwood & Musk ground the flame — steady, honeyed, eternal.
Every element was chosen to reflect midsummer’s breath: bright, warm, abundant, and anchored.
The Ritual Behind the Flame
In old-world traditions, midsummer marked both a celebration and a reverence for nature’s fullness — fields heavy with growth, sun at its strongest, the veil between light and dark thin but not yet closing.
Litha was poured for:
-
Honeyed afternoons beneath oak trees.
-
Long, golden evenings where laughter lingers softly.
-
Quiet moments of midsummer reflection.
-
Rituals honouring the turning of the Wheel.
Burn With Intention
-
Light Litha during your midsummer solstice rituals.
-
Pair it with honeyed teas, fresh herbs, or simple stillness.
-
Let its warmth anchor you in the present season.
-
Allow the scent to mark this fleeting, beautiful crest of light.
A Seasonal Offering
Litha joins our Ritual Wheel as a seasonal release — available while the solstice light lingers. Like all of our candles, it is hand-poured in small batches, crafted with care, and rooted in quiet ritual.
Whether your path winds through sunlight or shadow — this flame was lit for you.
