Anatomy of a candle… let’s delve a little deeper into our candles.
Let’s face it, there’s a lot of candles out there. So what makes ours special? we believe that a candle should do so much more than just smell good (although we’d like to think ours smell amazing!) Lighting a candle is a ritual, an act of self care.
Candles symbolize warmth, comfort, and hope. The soft, flickering light of a candle creates a calming atmosphere that promotes peace and serenity. In many cultures, candles are used for meditation, prayer, and setting intentions, further enhancing their connection to positive energy.: Light is often associated with enlightenment, clarity, and positivity. When lit, a candle represents the act of bringing light into darkness, symbolizing hope and transformation.
Candles can play a key part in calmness rituals , self care and promoting mindfulness. Whether it’s lighting one at the beginning of the day whilst we plan our daily goals, or in the evening to signal the transition from working day to quiet time.
All our candles are beautifully hand finished with specially selected dried flowers, herbs and locally sourced precious crystals . Inspired by the healing powers of crystals and Aromatherapy Each candle is carefully designed to promote specific emotional benefits.
Our Signature ‘Witch on the Moor ‘ candle , for example has a rich base of patchouli, sandalwood, cedarwood, amber, vanilla, tonka and musk with marine hints designed to awaken and revive the senses. Its also hand-finished with dried…., … and a genuine Amethyst crystal- i beautifully coloured ‘starter crystal’ know for it’s soothing an healing properties. The title came literally came to me in a dream. Ispired, I went back and re read wuthering heights ( I book set very close to where I live in the north of England.) Listened to a lot of Kate Bush and Stevie Knicks and bacially fell down a rabbit hole of all things witchy. Because what is a Witch? a strong woman which powers that inspires curiosity, awe , suspicion or fear. I think we could all use a bit of witchcraft in our lives.
At it’s core witchcraft is about connection with nature and connecting our inner strength to manifest the positive outcomes we with for ourselves, and for others. It’s with this in mind that I designed my Elemets collection which is inspired by the 4 elements of Earth , Air, Fire and water, and my ‘Manifestation’ range, which is designed to help manifest positive emotions such as love, calmness, happiest and clarity.
If you’re feeling stressed and struggling to relax, our candles are a great way to bring a little calm into your day, beautifully hand-decorated and gift-wrapped in a pretty presentation box, they also make a thoughtful and unique gift.
