Ancient Witch Ritual Candle - Sinful Apple (Love)

Product Overview

An apple pierced by an athame, the ritual blade, printed across the box of a soy wax candle from Ancient Wisdom's Ancient Witch collection. The theme is Love and the fragrance is apple and cinnamon, which makes this the warmest and most autumnal of the five. A printed ritual card is tucked inside the box.

The Story Behind the Design

There is a reason a blade and an apple belong on the same box. Cut an apple across its middle rather than through the stem and the seed chambers form a five-pointed star, a detail noted for centuries and one the followers of Pythagoras are said to have taken seriously enough to avoid eating apples altogether. The fruit already carried associations with knowledge and temptation long before that. The knife is what reveals the star.

Auro & Co Moment

This is the one to light when someone is coming over. Get it going half an hour before they arrive so the apple and cinnamon has time to settle into the room rather than announcing itself at the door. The Love card is written for a solitary moment, but there is nothing to stop you reading it beforehand and keeping it to yourself.

Pairs easily with the rest of the Ancient Witch collection: bath potions, ritual waters, perfume oils and incense kits.
