Seasonal Incense by Sea Witch Botanicals

The Wheel of the Year is a modern pagan calendar comprising four Quarter Days and four Cross-Quarter Days, including the winter and summer solstices, vernal and autumnal equinoxes, and four midpoints bisecting each of these quarters. The dates of these eight Sabbats derive from the pre-Christian Celtic calendar, a solar-lunar ritual calendar dating from the second century AD that divided the year into eight roughly-equivalent seasonal sections.

These Wheel of the Year seasonal incenses by Sea Witch Botanicals are formulated with all-natural essential oil blends that reflect the best of each of these seasons—from Imbolc’s warming sandalwood and cedarwood to Litha’s heady vetiver and nutmeg. Each blend provides the perfect way to ring in a new season or harken back to seasons past at any time.

In order throughout the standard annual calendar, the eight Sabbats celebrated on the Wheel of the Year include:

• Imbolc (late winter), celebrated on February 1
• Ostara (early spring), celebrated at the vernal equinox (on or around March 21)
• Beltane (late spring), celebrated on May 1
• Litha (early summer), celebrated at the summer solstice (on our around June 21)
• Lammas (late summer), celebrated on August 1
• Mabon (early fall), celebrated at the autumnal equinox (on or around September 21)
• Samhain (late fall), celebrated on November 1 (often beginning at dusk on October 31)
• Yule (early winter), celebrated at the winter solstice (on or around December 21)
