Summer magical artifacts are a collection of practice items. They're gathered around a single occasion — the summer solstice. It includes things from different sections of the catalog — candles, incense, amulets. What they share is one thing: the season they're chosen for.
In Slavic tradition, the summer solstice is linked to Kupala — a holiday that falls in late June or early July and marks the longest day of the year. It's also called Ivan Kupala. Fire and water stand side by side on this day as the two central elements of the holiday.
What's included in the summer collection
The summer collection pulls together what's already in the catalog and fits the theme of the solstice. Here are the four groups of summer esoteric items that make it into the collection:
-
Amulets and talismans with sun symbols — a sun, rays, a wheel of the year — for protection and drawing luck through the warm season.
-
Light, yellow, and herbal-toned candles — for rituals of abundance, clarity, and growth.
-
Incense with summer scents — citrus, herbal, mugwort — for clearing a space after a long day.
-
Amulets tied to water and fire — for cleansing practices near a body of water or a fire.
Kupala and the summer solstice as an occasion for practice
The summer solstice marks the turning point of the year. Before this day the daylight hours grow longer, after it they start to shorten. This shift in the direction of light is what makes the solstice an occasion for practice: a moment where half a year's accumulated strength meets the start of the countdown toward winter.
Fire and water are the two elements that Slavic tradition ties to this day more closely than to any other holiday of the year. Fire is used for cleansing and for charging resolve for the second half of the year, water for washing away what's built up over the preceding months. Many practitioners build their summer rituals around these two elements, tying them to the date of the solstice or to the days around it. Both elements carry equal weight in this tradition — practice rarely calls on one without the other.
How the seasonal collection is put together
The collection is put together each season by the shop's practitioners. They go by what people actually ask about in the showroom ahead of the summer holidays, and they update the list as the season changes.
-
Practitioners keep track of which questions and requests come up most in the showroom before Kupala and other summer dates.
-
The collection includes a handful of specific item types tied to the season — not the whole catalog at once.
-
The list updates by season: the summer theme steps aside once it's time for autumn and winter occasions for practice.
-
Every item in the collection can also be found in its main catalog section — the collection is built as a showcase over the existing assortment.

Buy magical items for summer right in this collection — it gathers in one place what you'd otherwise have to look for across different sections of the catalog. Checking out on the site takes a couple of minutes, and we process and ship the order the same day. If you're unsure which item suits your summer practice — a sun amulet, an herbal candle, or incense with a summer scent — a practitioner will help you decide before you order.

What people ask about the summer collection of artifacts
Questions about the summer collection usually come down to the same few things — whether you need to make it by the solstice, how often the set changes, and what to do if the item you wanted isn't there.
Do you have to use summer artifacts strictly in summer or on the day of the solstice
No. The season and the solstice date help you pick a good moment to start working with an item, but you can use it any time of year if the item's purpose fits your task. The date just adds a focus — cleansing or strengthening — to what you're already doing in your practice.
How often does the summer collection get updated
Seasonally. The summer collection gives way to an autumn and a winter one once the focus of practice shifts to other dates and weather. Within summer itself the list can also change — practitioners remove what's sold out and add new items from the catalog when they fit the solstice theme.
What to do if an item from the collection is out of stock
Message a practitioner and tell them what you were looking for. If an item is temporarily unavailable, you'll be offered a similar item from the same catalog section or told when it's expected back in stock. The summer collection reflects what's actually in stock at the time it was last updated, and it changes along with the shop's stock.
International shipping and payment on delivery
We also ship outside Ukraine — by Nova Poshta's international service or by Ukrposhta, depending on the recipient's country. Payment is possible cash-on-delivery with a 150 hryvnia prepayment, by card online, or by bank transfer in advance. Summer artifacts from the collection ship the same way as any other order from the catalog.
