Dozhinki Harvest Offering & Incense

DescriptionDozhinki Harvest Offering & Incense brings spirits, familiars, and ancestors back into your sacred space. Slavic harvest Rituals have been performed since ancient times. Offerings were left in fields and burned to honour the Gods and ancestors, thanking them for providing for our earthly vessels..To start the tradition of “plowing the field” a young woman would be dragged through the crops. This would mark the start of Dozhinki (Polish – Dożynki), and signify that the harvest was over. Depending on what region you lived in this festival would start anytime from August 15 to September 23. Once all the crops had been gathered, and the last bundle of wheat picked, a symbolic sacrifice was made, and a Didukh created. This was Grandfather Spirit and it contained the benevolent souls of ancestors, who protected the fields and home. Additionally it was also used for wreath making, as all the luck and prosperity for the year to come were contained in it. Finally to finish the day, women would roll around on a cleared patch of the field with the purpose of absorbing and returning strength to the soil and finishing the harvest.This sacred mix of auspicious herbs has been blessed with whispered spells and prayers. Offer a sprinkle to the earth, or burn to bring prosperity, abundance and bountiful harvests. Be thankful for everything that you have in your life… but also thankful for all the things you don’t have. Offer to your households land, and sprinkle in your garden. Burn on charcoal and waft the smoke outside and in to bless your home and property.30 ml Metal Canister
