This listing is for one jar of one of the below ritual fire offerings, from The heART of Ritual. Please be sure to select the blend you want from the drop down menu.
 
Firetide
Purification Blend for Fire Offerings & Sacred Renewal
Held in a square apothecary jar cloaked in wild green clay and epido​te-crystal earth pigments, Firetide is a loose-leaf incense blend woven from midsummer’s light — an offering to the flame, a rite of release, a devotion to the turning tide​ of fire.
 
At the height of the Solstice, the sun stands still before shifting its path, marking the threshold where the longest days begin their slow return to darkness. This blend, crafted with wild-harvested mugwort, meadowsweet, juniper leaf, yarrow, and sweet wild thyme, carries the cleansing and protective herbs of midsummer, offered in reverence to fire’s ancient role as purifier and guide. Burned upon embers, scattered into a hearth, or fed to the solstice blaze, Firetide honours the rise and ebb of light, the ritual of tending flame, and the ancestral practice of casting prayers into smoke. This is not incense for perfuming, but for purification — for walking out what no longer serves, for tending the threshold, for letting fire carry your voice to the unseen.
 
As the sun swells to its peak, so too does the tide of transformation. Use Firetide in ceremony, in stillness, in the quiet space between seasons. Let the flame receive what you offer. Let the rising smoke bear witness. Let the fire tide turn, and with it, you.
 
 
Sunspun
Fire Food to invoke the Joy Gathered from Light, Trust Woven from Golden Hours
 
Held in a square apothecary jar wrapped in sunflower yellow and buttercup-hued structural paste — a textured ode to high summer's golden shimmer — Sunspun is a fire offering created to illuminate the soul and stir the spirit.
 
Its name speaks to warmth spun into being, joy gathered like thread from sunlight. It is the feeling of golden meadows, of laughter caught in open air, of inner brightness rekindled after shadow.
 
Composed of lemon balm, sweet woodruff, calendula, elderflower, and orange peel, every botanical was gathered under radiant skies and blended in ritual to lift the heart and lighten the body.
 
Sunspun may be burned as an offering or scattered at the hearth to invoke luminous joy, lightness of being, and a return to soulful trust. It is also a powerful companion in rituals of abundance, manifestation, fertility, prosperity, and vitality — a golden charm for those needing warmth, momentum, or energetic brightness.
 
Use it when your spirit feels heavy. Use it when you wish to quicken the pulse of your dreams. Use it when you are calling joy home again.
 
This is midsummer’s laughter, braided into smoke. This is radiance, finely ground. This is your sun, spun.

THE FRAMEWORK FOR THIS COLLECTION

Our Winter/Earth Element Collection arrives into the season of Samhain – that threshold between the last new moon of the dying Celtic year in October, astronomical Samhain, and the first new moon of the year to come in November. It is here that endings and beginnings lie folded together – a dreamtime of moons that leads us into the deepest dark – asking us to walk slowly, to walk in Earth time. 

 

This is not the hurried clock-time of the everyday. It is slow time – deep time – recorded in bedrock and fault-line, in layers pressed through clay and shale. As the earth keeps her history in stone and strata, so we carry memory in bone. The land is our larger body – marrow and mountain, clay and skin, each carrying memory. To enter this season is to enter those depths, to map again the contour lines of the inner ground, to feel where the body holds fractures, pressure, weight-bearing, release. The work is slow. The work is old. Stone remembers, and so do we. Our bodies are cairns of remembrance.

​

Between Samhain and Solstice we are pilgrims moving through inner hollows and chambers of the soul. It is sanctuary time, a time of reverence and devotion, where prayer is not passive but visceral and embodied – where we kneel not before idols but within the tabernacle of our own being. The ember of light is entrusted to us here, and it must be guarded with care – fanned in trust, sheltered in hope, nourished with care, until it kindles to flame and warmth.

​

Samhain is also the season of surrender. To grieve what has passed in the twelve months gone. To honour ancestors, yes, but also to lay down the burdens of the year, the losses and thresholds crossed, the shocks and griefs that linger. As leaves return to soil, so sorrow returns to earth, darkening into humus that feeds what will come. In the body, this work is felt in the earth element – in the musculoskeletal frame, in the gut’s deep work of breaking down and letting go. To release is to create space, and to hold is to become heavy. The earth teaches us this balance, for she both receives and yields in the same breath.

 

This is the annual pilgrimage to the soul’s inner shrine – beyond one life, beyond one line of ancestry. It is the thread that connects us with stone and to soil, with grandmother and grandfather, with all who came before and all who will come after. In this time-out-of-time we reweave ourselves into that thread, into the north, into the slow, enduring rhythm of earth itself. And from that ground – from a living tapestry of blood and bone and surrender – the Solstice light is born again. A flame at the heart of winter.
