Designed to inspire ritual that honors the ebb and flow of of day and night, light and dark; that which is exposed by Helios and that which is hidden by Artemis. It isn’t often that I call on planetary opposites in my own ritual, but I’ve spent the last year thinking about the axiom that to shine fully in light, we must be willing to plumb the depths of darkness. As someone whose witchcraft practice feels more grounded in darker, hidden aspects of occult knowledge, working with the Sun can feel harsh; after all the eye of Helios sees all and nothing can remain hidden before Him. There’s comfort in the dark of night, where secrets dwell, where we can act clandestinely, where we take on a mantle of invisibility. But either exists only because of the other; there is no growth without the ebb and flow of day into night and back again.

So I propose that we practice some Sun and Moon magic; big magnanimous Leo magick, Midsommar magic, generous magic, alongside tidal magic, sea hag magic, releasing, healing, intuitive magic. Ritual to acknowledge personal and collective trauma and recovery, ritual for giving and receiving, ritual to balance our light and dark halves.

Everything is in this kit is handmade by myself, using sustainable practices in growing, harvesting and foraging. Many of the herbs and plants used come from my own garden, where pesticides and commercial fertilizers are never used. I also limit the use of plastic materials and hope you’ll recycle the packing materials and reuse the tins and bottles.
