Origin & Lore

Autumn Splendor is a seasonal oil made for the harvest months, from the equinox to Samhain. In modern witchcraft this is the time for gratitude, giving thanks for what the year has brought, and for letting go of what is no longer needed, as the trees drop their leaves.

Autumn is the season of the second harvest, when the fields are gathered in and the year begins its turn toward the dark.

Harvest home festivals were kept across rural England when the last load of grain came in, often with a corn dolly made from the final sheaf and kept until spring. Modern pagans mark the autumn equinox as the sabbat of the second harvest, the time of balance and thanksgiving.
