-Ancestral Mothers- a blend of Lilies, clover, Amyris and green meadows.
-Brigid's Fires- a caramelized vanilla sugar with a warm smoke for the fires kept lit for centuries in honor of Brigid.

In the middle of the first quarter of the year (See below for an explanation of the wheel of the year) is Imbolc, one of four Gaelic seasonal celebrations.
Imbolc is known as a cross quarter holiday. It is celebrated on February 1st, smack dab in the middle of the Winter Solstice and the Spring Equinox. It marks the beginning of the Spring thaw. We start to see life coming back from the dark of winter. Imbolc, means 'in the belly'. The first lambs of the season were born around this time and Brigid, as the guardian of animals and all mothers both human and animal, is called upon for protection, blessings, and guidance.
The scents we have chosen are in honor of Brigid, the season and mothers.

The witches' wheel of the year is broken down into 4 quarters and 8 holidays. The first quarter is from the Winter Solstice to the Spring Equinox, the second quarter from the Spring Equinox to the Summer Solstice, the third from Summer Solstice to Autumn Equinox and the fourth brings us full circle from Autumn to the Winter Solstice. Between the seasonal markers (Quarter holidays) are what are called cross quarter holidays. Originating in Celtic paganism we have Imbolc, Beltane, Lughnasa and Samhain. The cross quarter holidays are celebrated at 15 degrees of the astrological sign they fall under, where the seasonal markers are celebrated at 0 degrees. 15 being the middle of a sign, 0 being the start, the cross quarter day is the middle of the season so it becomes a little easier to remember how that falls. As we start the new year, our first cross quarter holiday is Imbolc, celebrated at 15 degrees Aquarius around the 1-3rd of February.
We have to remember that agriculture, nature, symbolism and seasonal shifts were things our ancestors paid great attention to. When to plant, when to eat, when to harvest, when to hunt- these were all planned by mother nature. When to plant, when to harvest, when to eat and when to hunt was vitally important bc your families lives literally depended on it. We are going to honor the wheel of the year with body cream bundles for both our Cross Quarter Days, and Quarter Days, the seasonal shifts.
