Description
Wilamina Wormwoodʼs Winter Solstice starts with festive fruits laid on a Woodsy blend of Siberian Fir and Cedar. Pear, Apple, Cranberry and Fig are sweetened and spiced with Cinnamon and Clove. A snow drift delicately tops this sweet forest blend, disappearing in a flurry. This recipe is wonderful for a hot soak during winterʼs longest night.

I bought a bar of this as well as Samhain and Mabon at a Ren Faire in Hollister, CA. You and I had a beautiful conversation about the wheel of the year. I’ve used both up and now I’m on to Yule. It is my absolute favorite! It is comforting and smells so clean. I can’t wait to buy more!

I absolutely love House of Wormwood products! I discovered them at the Dickens Faire several years ago, and have continued to purchase these wonderful items. My favorite is Yule Ball. I just can’t get enough of it. The soaps, candles, and lotions are so well made. I have given them as gifts, and everyone loves them. I definitely recommend these wonderful wares!

I discovered this at the Dickens Faire a few years ago and it has become my Christmas tradition. Except now I buy enough to sprinkle throughout the year so I can have that wonderful Christmas tree smell throughout the year. Because it does smell exactly like a freshly cut Christmas tree. Yum!

Yule soap is an exciting variation on pine smell. Not too strong and yet very complex. The metallic sheen on top is super unique and I love it. I think there is activated charcoal in it woohoo!
