Each of Sea Witch Botanical's eight Wheel of the Year signature seasonal incenses is formulated with all-natural essential oils honoring the eight seasonal turning points that make up the Wheel of the Year: Imbolc, Ostara, Beltane, Litha, Lammas, Mabon, Samhain, and Yule.
Together, they provide the perfect tool for living more in tune with the seasons through a complete calendar year. Each signature incense lets you celebrate the bounty and beauty of each new season, or harken back to seasons past whenever you please.

What is the Wheel of the Year?
The Wheel of the Year is a pagan calendar comprising 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 that divided the year into eight roughly-equivalent seasonal sections.
Sea Witch Botanicals premium, all-natural essential oil incense blends are the perfect accompaniment to these seasonal celebrations, all the way from Yule to Samhain.
