Description
In the depths of the darkest days of winter, the festive lights twinkle with a golden splendour unlike any other time of year. By the warmth of your fireplace you are surrounded by red and golden ribbons, branches of evergreen trees, and the powerful scent of Cinnamon and Oranges that wafts from the pomanders hung from the mantlepiece. It brings you the cosy warmth of gingerbread as you relax utterly into the bliss of the winter solstice.

Pomander, (French: Pomme d’Ambre, “apple of amber”)
Pomanders were used in medieval times to ward off illness believed to be caused by bad smells. Small metal balls were filled with fragrant herbs or oils like ambergris, and worn around the neck or carried as powerful protective wards against sickness and evil. In Victorian times, the pomander had a makeover which survives into modern times. In the UK at Christmastime, oranges are pricked with cloves and hung around the house as festive decorations. Symbolically the fragrant round fruit is a perfect representation of the Sun, which will begin to return to us at the turn of the Winter Solstice into the lighter half of the year. The spices too, like cloves, ginger, and cinnamon, that are often used in winter baking also have powerful healing benefits. So, even today, the pomander remains a great symbol of health and vitality.
