In Norse paganism, the holiday calendar for 2023 is based on the traditional Norse festivals and celebrations. These holidays are rooted in the ancient Norse culture and are still observed by modern practitioners of the religion. The year begins with Yule, which is celebrated in late December and marks the winter solstice. Yule is a time for feasting, gift-giving, and honoring the gods and ancestors. It is a celebration of the return of the sun and the promise of longer days. Next, in February, comes the holiday of Charming of the Plow.
Have you tried the hand sanitizer from Magic Candle Company? I’m looking forward to testing these out and I’ll be getting some of the brand new pocket-sized ones next month.
Their Contemporary scent is my most favorite, but during a recent conversation I was having with my son, he happened to mention that he loves the Polynesian smell which I had no idea. I lit the candle last night and shortly thereafter, the combined tropical scent of fresh green tea mixed with effervescent citrus and crisp bamboo stalks filled my house.
Next, in February, comes the holiday of Charming of the Plow. This festival is dedicated to Freyr, the Norse god of fertility, and is a time to bless the fields and pray for a good harvest. This holiday marks the beginning of the agricultural season and is an important time for farmers and those connected to the land.
The Day My Magic Candle Company Order Arrives is Always a Good One
It’s always fun when packages are delivered to my front porch and it seems that for the past 3 months or so, they’ve been coming pretty steadily. Ahem. Here’s the thing, though, they’re not usually for me.
I am not typically the one in my house, believe it or not, who orders online the most. That title would have to go to my son with my husband running a very close second behind.
Yesterday, however, was the day that my Magic Candle Company order arrived. For those who aren’t already aware, Magic Candle Company brings scents from some of your favorite vacation destinations to you in the form of candles, hand sanitizers, wax melts, and more.
Due to the extreme popularity of their products and limited staff at the moment, shipping is taking approximately 14 business days from the time your order is placed which is a bit longer than their usual timeframe. I placed my order on May 18th and the order was delivered on June 9th which was 17 business days, but these products are well worth the wait.
Their Contemporary scent is my most favorite, but during a recent conversation I was having with my son, he happened to mention that he loves the Polynesian smell which I had no idea. So, I had to try it just for fun to see if he’d recognize it. I lit the candle last night and shortly thereafter, the combined tropical scent of fresh green tea mixed with effervescent citrus and crisp bamboo stalks filled my house. When he walked through the door after work, he recognized the smell immediately and the smile across his face was simply priceless.
I love having the ability to bring the scents of some of my family’s favorite places straight to my home. My house is one story so the candles work their magic when I light them and place them on my fireplace mantle which is practically right in the center of our house.
I decided to give some hand sanitizers a try this month as well since I still can’t seem to purchase any new ones at any of my local retailers. I may as well enjoy my favorite vacation scents as I’m keeping my hands sanitized, right?

In April, the holiday of Ostara is celebrated. This festival is a tribute to the goddess of the same name and is associated with the arrival of spring. It is a time of renewal, growth, and the awakening of the earth from its winter slumber. Following Ostara is Midsummer, which occurs in June. Also known as Litha, this holiday celebrates the summer solstice and the peak of the sun's power. It is a time for community gatherings, bonfires, and outdoor rituals. Midsummer is a celebration of light and abundance. In late July or early August, the holiday of Lughnasadh is observed. This festival honors the grain harvest and is dedicated to the god Lugh. It is a time of thanksgiving for the abundance of the earth and a reminder of the cyclical nature of life. The year continues with the festival of Mabon in September. Mabon, also known as the autumn equinox, is a time to celebrate the harvest and give thanks for the fruits of the earth. It is a time of balance between light and dark and a reminder of the approaching winter. Finally, in October, the holiday of Samhain is celebrated. This festival is a tribute to the ancestors and the spirits of the dead. It is a time when the veil between the living and the dead is believed to be thin, and it is common to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. Overall, the Norse pagan holiday calendar for 2023 is filled with celebrations that align with the changing seasons and the natural cycles of the earth. These holidays are an opportunity for worship, reflection, and connection with both the gods and the natural world..
