Candles
Made in Canada
All of our Canadian-made candles are individually handcrafted with care to provide you with both a beautiful candle and exquisite fragrance.
First Nations Cedar Balsam Candle
$24.99
Made in British Columbia
This First Nations all-natural cedar balsam candle was created by Canadian Cree Medicine Woman Carrie Armstrong, based on teachings rooted in the sacred plants of the medicine wheel.
4 oz. natural 100% soy wax cedar balsam-scented candle.
Canadians from coast to coast know the spicy, resinous fragrance of cedar, traditionally known as a calming & grounding plant. Cedar is nature’s purifier and boasts a distinctly resinous fragrance. Leaves are cleaned from the stems and separated into small pieces to be used in many ways (for making tea, bathing and ceremony). It represents grounding, maturity, purification and balance. Elders suggest walking with cedar in your shoes to walk in a good way down your path and it was one of the first gifts of natural healing shared with settlers upon their arrival (its high vitamin C content was a great antidote for scurvy). It is the western direction of the medicine wheel.
First Nations Sweetgrass Candle
$24.99
Made in British Columbia
This First Nations all-natural sweetgrass candle was created by Canadian Cree Medicine Woman Carrie Armstrong, based on teachings rooted in the sacred plants of the medicine wheel.
4 oz. natural 100% soy wax sweetgrass-scented candle.
The comforting, haystack scent of sweetgrass walks us out into a fragrant meadow. This sweet aromatic essence is known to soothe & calm. Sweetgrass is sometimes called the hair of Mother Earth and is considered a sacred gift. After the grass is harvested, it is carefully braided; the three sections represent mind, body, and spirit. By braiding it, we bring those aspects of our being together, care for and strengthen them. When we smudge with sweetgrass, we are taught that the smoke from that burning sweetgrass prepares us for prayer because the scent is pleasing to the Creator. It is the northern direction of the medicine wheel.
First Nations Sage Candle
$24.99
Made in British Columbia
This First Nations all-natural sage candle was created by Canadian Cree Medicine Woman Carrie Armstrong, based on teachings rooted in the sacred plants of the medicine wheel.
4 oz. natural 100% soy wax sage-scented candle.
Sage is found abundantly in dry areas of North America and has an herbal, spicy scent. It is used in ceremony for smudging: a means to cleanse negativity from ourselves and our spaces. Our ancestors also used different varieties of sage for medicinal purposes. It is the southern direction of the medicine wheel.
