*** Summer Solstice *** South *** June 21st ***
The sun has reached its highest point - it is the longest day and the shortest night. Even though summer begins according to the calendar, nature is now entering its period of ripening. Summer is a celebration of abundance, of the senses and sensuality. The colors and scents of blooming plants are balm for our souls; the singing of birds and the buzzing of insects give us a feeling of absolute lightness. It is a time of absolute presence - all life manifests itself in its various forms and ways.
We humans also experience this time more outwardly, enjoying the boundless vitality of summer. Now it is important to repeatedly find stillness to connect with our inner selves.
How do I nurture and nourish the seed that has blossomed within me? What do I need to grow and mature powerfully? What does it take to feel and live the lightness, carefree spirit, and pure vitality of summer?
Included plants: Mugwort, St. John's Wort, Rosemary, Elderflower, among others.

********************************************
The mode of action of the Allgäu medicinal herb candle is similar to a fine smudging. Transformed by the fire, the information and vibration of the extracts, essential oils, essences, and tinctures are released and support our own spiritual intentions and mental aspirations.
The Allgäu medicinal herb candle is not a scented candle in the classical sense. Each candle contains pure essential oils, which also give the candles an interesting aroma - however, the fine scent does not intensify when burning. Experience shows that the production of candles that primarily unfold their scent after lighting is only possible through the use of synthetic substances - the medicinal herb candle is a pure natural product.
Burn time: The Allgäu medicinal herb candle is designed so that a wafer-thin edge in the form of a delicate lattice structure remains when burning - this gives the candle a wonderful play of light as it burns down. The candle does not drip if it is not exposed to drafts. The delicate lattice is intentional. It is a natural effect of the stearin wax as it cools - and a quality criterion :)
The burning time depends on various factors and can be up to 50 hours under optimal conditions (four-hour burning cycles with an equally long break). In practice, under less than optimal conditions, a medicinal herb candle burns for an average of about 40 hours.
********************************************
Ritual candles give you time for your small daily ritual. Time for the essential. Take a moment of quiet, light the flame, listen within yourself. Entrust your wishes to the candle flame - it stands for the transformative power of fire. Let your wishes gently drift away and enjoy the light before you set off again into the everyday world :)
********************************************
Candles work with the element of fire; never leave them burning unattended and only use fireproof surfaces for them. For the initial burn, it is best to let the candle burn until the entire top wax pool has melted to the edge. If the candle ever smokes, it is recommended to trim the wick before lighting (carefully cut off the top, leaving at least 8 mm).
