To celebrate and honour Summer Solstice, I make a lovely loose incense blend for ceremony.

Here’s the mix, use as much or as little as you prefer:

Mugwort
Valerian leaf and flowers
White Willow leaf and/or bark
Cedar leaf
Copal
Frankincense oil
Pansy petals
Rose petals
Garden sage
Thyme leaves and flowers
Lavender flowers and seeds

If you don’t have some to hand already dried, pick your herbs and flowers a week or two in advance.
