National Coming Out Day: ‘Sapphic Flame’

Cherry, Tobacco Leaf, Leather, Almond, Vanilla Tonka Bean

She who sings of love in shadows and lights the hearts of exiles

from $19.00

Handmade Scented Candle Inspired by Sappho, the poet from the Greek isle of Lesbos

Sapphic Flame is the blush and burn of forbidden verse, the untamed song of Sappho of Lesbos, who wrote love into immortality. This candle honors her bold tenderness, her unapologetic longing, her fire that still flickers across centuries for all who dare to love freely.

It opens with the heady sweetness of cherry and the rich, earthen whisper of tobacco leaf, a pairing that feels both daring and intimate, like a secret shared between lovers under moonlight.

At its heart, leather and almond entwine, soft strength meeting vulnerability, devotion meeting desire. It is the scent of poetry inked by candlelight, of bodies and souls finding one another in defiance of silence.

As the flame deepens, vanilla tonka bean unfurls in the base, warm, golden, and lingering—a quiet testament to love that endures despite exile or erasure.

This is a candle for the wild-hearted, the tender rebels, and those who know that love, in all its forms, is sacred.

May its flame remind you: your love is worthy of song.

Candle of the Month: ‘Mistress of the Sacred House’

* Anise, Black Currant, and Dark Musk *

She who weeps with twilight and guards the sacred threshold

from $19.00

Handmade Scented Candle Inspired by Nephthys, the Egyptian Goddess of Shadow, Mourning, and the Sacred Veil

Mistress of the Sacred House is the quiet stillness of twilight, an offering to Nephthys, goddess of endings, thresholds, and sacred grief. This candle carries the spirit of the liminal, the soft spaces between what has been and what is yet to come.

It opens with the cool hush of eucalyptus, the delicate spice of anise, and a golden thread of saffron, scents that evoke dusk settling over stone and the quiet reverence of ancient rites.

At its heart, dark fruits bloom. Blackberry and black currant bring a lush, grounding sweetness, deepened by basil’s green breath, earthy and clear like herbs crushed beneath quiet footsteps at the edge of a sacred grove.

As the flame burns low, fennel, dark musk, tonka bean, and amber unfold into warmth, resinous and soft like incense lingering on fabric or the comforting dark of a temple’s inner chamber.

This is a scent for those who walk with memory, who honor the unseen, and who find solace in the spaces where silence speaks.

🕯️ Meet the Candlemaker

I’m Anny ~ psychotherapist, myth-lover, and keeper of the flame behind Hekate’s Flame Apothecary. Born of Greek and Anatolian roots, I carry a lifelong reverence for myth, ritual, and the unseen threads that bind scent to memory, story to soul.

By day, I walk with others through the landscapes of healing. By night, I pour candles as offerings, each one a vessel of archetype and alchemy, crafted to honor the sacred, the wild, the liminal.

This work is deeply personal. It’s slow magick made by hand, guided by intuition, shaped by myth, and poured with care into every flame.
