Ring of Fire Candle Collection
The “ring of fire” refers to a long horseshoe-shaped seismically active belt of earthquake epicentres, volcanoes, and tectonic plate boundaries that fringes the Pacific basin. The overwhelming majority of the world’s strongest earthquakes, and approximately 75% of the world’s volcanoes occur within the Pacific Ring of Fire. Lava carries both the immense, destructive and alchemical energy of fire alongside the grounding, earth energy of semi-liquid rock as molten magma below the Earth’s crust, and as lava rock after it cools and creates new landmass. It is dense, intense, and truly otherworldly.
Our Ring of Fire candle collection pays homage to a trio of fire deities, some known specifically for their connections to volcanoes. Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire, lightning, wind, dance and volcanoes, who is said to reside in the Halemaumau crater at the summit of Kilauea, one of the world’s most active volcanoes. Vulcan, the Roman God of Fire, forge and volcanoes; the patron of artisans and smiths. Ares, the Greek God of War (Roman counterpart is Mars) who was known for his appetite for destruction and unbridled passion and aggression, who carried a flaming torch, symbolizing chaos. We have paired these powerful deities with an aromatic palette appropriate for both the spring season AND the fiery energy they represent. Such a feat was no small task! Our aromas embrace both floral and spice notes that we think perfectly embody our intention.
These captivating candles are not only beautiful to look at when not lit, making for a stunning addition to your home decor, but they become especially enrapturing when lit and in a dimly lit environment.
Pele - Top notes of bergamot and tangerine burst forth with brilliance while a zesty heart of ginger unfurls to reveal a grounding base of cedarwood and patchouli. Wild woman archetype vibes!
Ares - Bold cassis (black currant) is wrapped in a dreamy embrace of sweet jasmine and fresh peach, whilst an intriguing spicy-sweet base of anise, black tea and tonk add a luxurious finish. It's giving dark romance core vibes.
Vulcan - Bright apricot top notes offer an invigorating opening act that plays into a dazzling second act of peppery ginger, exotic saffron, and an earthy finish of cedarwood, patchouli and vetiver. A virtuoso of passion!
Fire Meditation: As you prepare to light your candle, find a comfortable sitting spot and ground yourself into the present moment. Take deep breaths until you are fully relaxed. Light your candle and visualize lava moving ever so slowly from the top of your head/crown chakra to your feet. Take your time; feel the warmth consuming your body, melt into it and allow yourself to be carried with it as it embraces and transforms you. Exhale anything you wish to release and visualize it burning up in the lava. When you are ready, take some deep breaths, thank the lava (and/or lava deity of your preference), and enjoy your candle magick.
