2x 9 oz soy candles
This candle pack combines candles which evoke different aspects of woodland spaces: the evergreen-dense northern woods, and the summer woods at night. Hand-poured and intention-infused, these soy candles blend together the invigorating and enchanting fragrances of a forests both dark and light. These 9 oz candles are hand-poured in small batches, with a burning time of 40+ hours per candle.
The Woods
Bright juniper meets sweet spruce, grounded by cypress and joined with the complex white birch. The power of scent to change our mood, to conjure memories, and to evoke associations has long been documented. These candles invite you to close your eyes and take a deep breath of the woods. The scent of these trees not only transports you to a forest, but offers a moment to meditate upon the strength and wisdom of the forest and its creatures.
These candles are scented with essential oils and natural fragrances. Juniper is blended into the wax, and the candles are ornamented with cedar, cypress, small pine cones, juniper berries, and obsidian. They are fragranced and ornamented with deep intention and mediation on the beauty and wisdom of forests.
The label includes a sigil phrase in symbolic font ("We conjure the magic of the forest wherever we are in admiration and gratitude for sacred trees and woodland creatures") along with lines from a favorite woodland play--A Midsummer Night's Dream:
"Nor doth this wood lack worlds of company,
For you in my respect are all the world.
Then how can it be said I am alone
When all the world is here to look on me?"

Nightwood
The woods change at night. As the sun sets, darkness reaches up from the sky and wraps itself around roots, leaves, tails, and paws, curling around the base of trees and sweeping around disturbed woodland edges. Intention and sigil-infused, Nightwood candles evoke the woodland at after dark. Through the familiar aromas of spruce and birch rise a series of complex scents, meant to summon that mysterious quality of a dark forest, including chrysanthemum and bergamot. They are ornamented with a number of protective stones and plants, including obsidian and juniper berries; amber reflects the light of the flame and reminds us that the day will come again. Burn this candle when the sun sets, to enjoy the fragrances of the night, to create a forest ritual, or to inspire meditation on the woodland creatures who make the nighttime their home.
