CHARRED CEDAR | TOBACCO FLOWER | AMBER RESINS | BLACKBERRY | OAK
The Protect Candle is inspired by st̕éy̕əs, which is the SENĆOŦEN name for Pender Island. We were inspired while spending the night in an actual Treehouse on North Pender Island. Built 40 feet up in the air, in a towering Cedar Tree, we were surrounded by nothing but waving branches, ravens, sea air, and the deep, profound history of this ancient place. That night our lives were changed forever. Chief Crowfoot came to me in a vision, and told me that I was pregnant. He told me he would protect my son.
For this beautiful candle, we blended together the essences of Charred Red Cedar, Tobacco Flower, Wild Vanilla Leaf and Blackberry. To this we added notes of Honey Absolute and Amber resins. The deep and complex smell is perfectly balanced and completely unisex.
The deep and smoky charred Cedar and dark oak mingles with glowing embers and beautiful vanilla leaf to create a deep and rich base. Middle notes of Tobacco Leaf, sweet, slightly floral and lightly musky lead you into soft, creamy notes of warm blackberry and sticky sweet honey. Like picking berries on a warm summer day.
Top notes of wild orange and bergamot lighten this blend, bringing beauty and balance to its deep, rich creaminess. One of our most unique and most beloved scents.
Plant Allies
For our Protection Candle, locally grown Red Cedar, Sage, Mugwort, Tobacco and Vanilla Leaf are carefully harvested by hand, using traditional knowledge and the Lunar Cycles to ensure the potency of the plants are at their peak.
Only fallen Cedar boughs are collected, and the Plants and Botanicals are carefully and selectively chosen, with thanks given to ensure that the Plant continues to flourish and thrive.
This care and attention to Tradition means our candles are only offered in small batches and will be slightly different each time.
We grow the Tobacco ourselves, in our garden. The Flowers are harvested according to Lunar Cycles, when their spectacular, sultry fragrance is at its zenith. Their scent is unmistakable. Hauntingly beautiful, and completely unique. We carefully tincture the sticky blooms and infuse them with jojoba oil to use in our Apothecary products. Tobacco is revered for its protective qualities and its ability to connect us to Spirit. We treat all of our plants, and especially Tobacco, with the utmost respect and care.
The hand gathered Herbs and Botanical Plant allies are alive with magic. Each one has a sacred spirit and graciously offers up its life to us.
Hand Gathered Cedar for Purifying, healing and cleansing. Tobacco Flowers and Leaves to Connect you to yourself, your Ancestors, and Spirit. Vanilla Leaf is a beautiful Plant Ally, known for its gorgeous scent.

Mugwort was traditionally burned on bonfires as a sacred offering, and she is known to increase visions and dream recall.
