Summer Solstice Pouch

Summer Solstice Herb Pouch


The summer solstice is the perfect time to harvest your herbs. By now, gardens are lush with bloom also midsummer is a perfect season to find some goodies out in the woods. You can gather some of the herbs associated with the Litha season and make an herb pouch to hang in your home or in your car or on your person as talisman.

In many magical practices, the number nine is looked upon as a sacred number so it’s good to use nine different herbs in your summer solstice pouch.

These are all herbs widely available during the midsummer montjs, but if you don’t have access to them you can substitute other herbs that grow in your area. People mostly use dried herbs in their craft, but because these are growing right now, you may want to use fresh.


Gather up equal amounts of the following nine herbs:

Lavender, for calmness and peace

Basil, for good fortune

Thyme, for psychic development

Hyssop, for cleansing and purifying

Yarrow, for healing

Sage, for wisdom

Peppermint, for passion and love

Rosemary, for remembrance

Mugwort, for divination and dreams


If you’re using dried herbs, place them all into your mortar and pestle together and crush them into a fine powder. If you’re using fresh ones, simply tear or chop them into equally sized pieces this will help release the essential oils, and allow you to take advantage of the fragrances. Place into a bowl all together.


Using a summery colour cloth, yellow or orange is perfect, but work with what you have, Stitch together a basic drawstring pouch.


If you don’t have any bright colors available, a plain muslin or cloth fabric will do just fine. Place the herbs in the pouch, and pull the drawstring tightly.


You can keep the pouch himg over your door to welcome guests or on your altar during your midsummer celebrations, , or even carry it in your pocket as a summertime talisman.
