What is the difference between Lughnasadh and Lammas?

Both names refer to the same sacred day on the Wheel of the Year (typically celebrated on August 1st). Lughnasadh is the Gaelic name, honoring the god Lugh and his funeral games for his foster mother, Tailtiu. Lammas is the Christianized name, meaning "Loaf Mass," celebrating the first grain harvest and the baking of the first bread. Our candle honors both traditions, focusing on the themes of grain, sun, and gratitude common to both.

Why does this candle smell like "warm bread and spice"?

We wanted to capture the "hearth energy" of late summer. The combination of cinnamon and clove mimics the warmth of a baking oven, while the bay leaf and juniper provide the savory, herbal undertones of a sun-drenched garden. Together, they create a grounding atmosphere that feels like a cozy kitchen during the harvest.

Do I have to remove the herbs and juniper berries before lighting?

While the herbs are seasonally aligned and safe to burn in small quantities, they can occasionally cause the flame to flare. For the safest experience, we recommend using a spoon to gently push any large botanical pieces toward the edge of the jar once the wax begins to melt, or removing larger juniper berries if they sit too close to the wick.

What should I do with the Citrine crystal after the candle is gone?

Citrine is known as the "Success Stone." Once you have retrieved and cleaned your crystal, it is perfect for use in a "Wealth Bowl," kept in your wallet to attract abundance, or placed on your desk to boost confidence. Because it has been infused with the energy of your Lughnasadh rituals, it will remain a potent reminder of your personal harvest.

Can I use this candle for other harvest festivals like Mabon?

Absolutely. While the energy of Lughnasadh is specifically focused on the first harvest (grains and berries), its warm, spicy profile makes it a beautiful companion for the second harvest (Mabon/Equinox) as well. It is a versatile tool for any time you want to focus on manifestation and prosperity.

Is the scent throw strong enough for a large room?

Because we use 100% pure essential oils rather than synthetic fragrance oils, the scent is "medium-bodied." It is designed to create a sacred, intimate atmosphere around your altar or meditation space. In a standard-sized room, it provides a lovely, natural aroma that is present without being overpowering or headache-inducing.

How do I prevent the candle from "tunneling"?

To get the most out of your 100% soy wax candle, make sure your first burn lasts at least 2 hours, or until the melted wax reaches all the way to the glass edges. This sets the "memory" of the wax, ensuring it burns evenly all the way down to the bottom without leaving wasted wax on the sides.

Is this product eco-friendly?

Yes! We prioritize the Earth in our craftsmanship. We use 100% biodegradable soy wax, recyclable glass jars, and botanical toppings. Our essential oils are ethically sourced, making this a sustainable choice for your earth-based practice.
