Summer Solstice - Litha Sabbat Witchy Potpourri - Lush Dupe Breath of God Scent
Unveil the magical fresh scent of a summer breeze atop an oceanic mountainside with our enchanting 'Summer Solstice - Litha - Potpourri' inspired by the neo-pagan and witches' sabbat Litha. Each of our sabbat-inspired potpourris are appropriately themed to help you transition through our planet's seasonal changes with a touch of dark aesthetic whimsy. Stay grounded in a sense of peace and tranquility while giving thanks to our beautiful life-bearing sun for many sunrises to come with this enchanting summertime scented mix.
'Breath of God', or 'Goddess' to some, is a nod towards the pastel goths and summer months ahead, as we enjoy the warmth of the summer solstice and look forward to the first harvest. Inhale and exhale a variety of romantic florals and uplifting citrus atop the cozy warmth of sandalwood and black pepper, complimented by the earthy undertones of dried autumn leaves scented with cedar. The magic of the 'Breath of God' delights us with a scent that is zen, uplifting, and a fresh awakening experience for the soul.

The summer solstice, midsummer, or Litha for some, lands on the 20th-22nd of June for we beings of the northern hemisphere. Celebrate the sun's glow and power during the longest days of the year as the energies are high and a perfect time to focus on growth, prosperity, and renewal energy work. This is also a time for celebrating the successful union of the Goddess and God, the balance between the divine masculine and feminine energies, light vs. darkness, and summer vs. winter. Notably in the battle of light and darkness the Oaken King is at his prime during Litha and is waging an ongoing battle against the Holly King of the colder months. This balance between energies reminds us of the interconnectedness of all things and the cyclical nature of life and spiritual existence.

Each element of this mix has been carefully selected and thoughtfully combined in darker tones to suit your dark aesthetic home decor while paying homage to the summertime. The blue and purple colored botanicals remind us of the ocean and summertime blossoms, while the silver berries are a nod to the Goddess gracing God with her presence. The selected scent is meant to uplift and unwind your senses so you can relax and enjoy the festivities.

To make displaying your potpourri a creative experience, and set the 'mood' of your living space into a witchy goth wonderland, you will receive add-ins that are appropriately themed for this sabbat with a few gothic touches that embody our brand.
To pay respect to this sabbat and the Oaken King we chose the symbol of the 'Horned God', often thought of as the symbol of Cernunnos and a symbolic representation of God impregnating the Goddess. This symbol also represents the master, father, and sage, or the male counterpart of the Triple Goddess symbol representing the mother, maiden, and crone. We also chose the sun spiral, oak leaf, acorn, golden ribbons, rose and dried flowers. Lapis lazuli, moonstone and clear quartz crystals were chosen as conduits for energy work. Lapis lazuli is revered as a stone of inner wisdom thought to possess qualities that aid in connecting with your truest self. While working with lapis lazuli the sun's energies may amplify your intuition, while summer nights may aid in connecting with spirit. Moonstone is valued for its radiant and vibrant energy, suited for the season's spirit. It symbolizes the summer's joy and vitality and may help us embrace our femininity and foster emotional healing to better handle life's ups and downs. Clear quartz may aid in amplifying your intentions, balancing and clearing energetic blockages.

Our artisan-made witchy goth potpourri is designed with quality materials chosen to not only produce a rich, welcoming long-lasting fragrance but also with Mother Nature and ethical practices in mind. We prefer to use materials that will biodegrade over time, such as botanicals dyed in ecodyes, burlap, and cotton. Reusable or multipurpose materials are used whenever possible making this an excellent choice for the environmentally conscious.
We thank you for your support as each purchase you make supports the creative passion and dedication of an artisan crafter and woman-owned business.

SCENT: 'Breath of God' *dupe - This highly complex unisex scent contains neroli, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, Amalfi lemon, melony citrus, rose, ylang-ylang, vetiver, grapefruit, black pepper and so much more. Lush Cosmetics is not affiliated with us, this scent is merely very similar.
ORDERING INFO:
Foremost, select your preferred scent for this sabbat.
Given each batch of potpourri is made-to-order, please allow 3-5 days MAX for your order to ship. We let the potpourri sit in a glass jar so it fully absorbs the scent so by the time you receive your order the scent has matured.
What's included:
1) Potpourri sachet weighing 4.5-6 oz. or a minimum of 3.75 cups with 5-7 sabbat witchy goth-themed add-ins and a selenite blade.
*We weigh our potpourri in cups as we feel that is a better way to visualize how much you will receive as some botanicals are very large but weigh little and vice versa. Flower petals weigh very little but are easily crushed. We strike a balance between providing you with your money's worth but without crushing your potpourri.
Add-ins are packaged separately in a small organza bag, or box, to protect them in transit. While we make every attempt to provide a product that is nearly as identical to our images as possible, due to supply and demand, some minor substitutions may be made. Example: a sun spiral with a different gemstone accent, different acorn color or different types of dried flowers.

Due to the nature of handmade items, the images merely represent a fairly accurate representation of what you will receive. Display pieces are not included, just your potpourri and themed add-ins. If you love this potpourri mix, we also offer a complete gift set with a matching skull diffuser and 1 oz skull refresher oil.
