How does the Summer Solstice affect us? 🌞🌍

The solstice has great spiritual significance since ancient civilizations. It is a moment of gratitude , for being able to collect everything sown both literally and metaphorically during the cold months. The sun is a symbol of life and strength , its light helps us to transmute. The increase in daylight hours changes our spirits, gives us vitality and enthusiasm to face obstacles and achieve our goals.

The summer solstice is a closing of the cycle and the beginning of a new stage , where we not only celebrate the increase in light, but also our deepest connection with nature . As a general rule, this connection with light and nature makes us feel happier.

Purification, fertility, gratitude and abundance are the requests that have the most force with the arrival of summer. One of the key points of this celebration is purification , since without getting rid of fears, sadness, pain or resentment, we will not have space for the arrival of new emotions such as trust, love or joy or empathy. It is important to empty yourself to make room for the new .

The Summer Solstice is an ideal astronomical time to make any type of request, therefore, we encourage you not to miss the energetic opportunity it offers us to be able to do your rituals with candles.

This year we wanted to be inspired by the essence of purification and connection with nature for our Ritual of San Juan . We will work with the energy of fire, earth, air and water, and with the purifying element in the center. The objective is to eliminate everything that we do not want and make room for the requests that we will make to the 4 elements . In addition to the candles, the ritual contains different accessories that will help us to amplify the scope of our requests .

Another way to take advantage of the strong energy of the Summer Solstice is with the Special Candle of San Juan . A very powerful candle seasoned with different natural products designed specifically to help us eliminate the bad and attract the good.

Manufacturing of our San Juan products is limited and we are already reaching our last stock! Still don't have yours?

On these dates, tradition rules and some rituals of purification, love or prosperity are still being carried out today. Some of the most common are jumping bonfires , bathing in the sea, jumping the waves, preparing baths with herbs or working with cinnamon and honey to ritualize coins.
