Some spaces need clearing. Some days leave a residue - other people's stress, difficult conversations, the low hum of anxiety that lingers even after the thing causing it has passed. This candle is for those moments.

Hand-poured on our homestead in Kiwitea, the Protection Candle is built around whiskywood — deep, smoky, and resinous in a way that immediately changes the feeling of a room. It's not a soft scent. It's a grounding one, the kind that makes you feel like the walls are a little thicker and the outside world a little further away. Rosemary cuts through with something sharper and cleaner, and together they create something that smells less like a candle and more like a ritual. Paired with black tourmaline — the stone most associated with energetic protection, shielding, and the release of tension held in the body — it's made for the moments when you need to feel safe in your own space.

Light it after a difficult day you need to leave behind. Light it when your home needs resetting after conflict or chaos. Light it before something that requires you to feel solid and unshakeable.

Made with:

• Coconut soy wax blend — clean-burning, no nasties

• Black tourmaline crystal included in every candle — the protection stone, known for grounding energy and creating a sense of energetic safety

• Deep whiskywood and rosemary fragrance — smoky, resinous, and genuinely anchoring

• Hand-poured in small batches by Erana at Middlewood Homestead, Kiwitea NZ

Available in 150ml and 300ml.
