Okay, so good old FB is being difficult and not allowing me to change the name of my page. So, in light of this new venture, I've made a new page for my candles. I will post in both places, but https://www.facebook.com/hearth.and.familiar.candles/ will be my main page for candles and candle-adjacent posts moving forward. Please head on over, like and share to keep up to date!

Locally handcrafted scented candles. Public test phase active now!

20/02/2025

Alright team, it's safe to say it's go time!

I am opening up to public testing, and I have an offer for anyone interested in trying out my candles.

I am offering a pack of all 8 fragrances in 15-hour burn time candles for $50 (Aus) to cover the costs of this test round. That is well under half price!

Your bonus, as well as having some wonderfully scented candles is a permanent 20% discount on my candle line moving forward!

I would like to have a group of at least 10 people, preferably local to Rockhampton, however, I would be happy to discuss domestic shipping. So, if you are interested, please leave a comment on this post, or send me a message!

(Note that packs will be made to order and may have a processing time of up to, but no more than 2 weeks.)

Okay, so it's been a hot minute since I posted anything at all. But, as you should all be aware, I've been in the process of changing direction with my little business here.

Those changes are well and truly underway! I've been a busy beaver behind the scenes setting my ideas in stone, and I'm on the right track. Early days yet, and I'm not nearly ready to relaunch, but these things take patience, right?

I've settled with candles, with wax melts coming in the future. I currently have 8 scents in production, and I am only a few tests off opening up to a test group. As much as I would love to give these tester candles out for free, I would be asking for cost price and postage (if you aren't local to me), so that I can provide more products down the line! While I'm not at this stage yet, I am open to expressions of interest.

So, if you'd like to be a part of my tests, please leave a comment and I'll DM you! Tag your friends who may want to be a part of the fun, too!

So, I made something tonight. Dipping my toes back into jewellery making. So far so good, I think.

☀️LITHA / SUMMER SOLSTICE☀️

Traditional: December 21
2023 Exact: December 22, at 1:27pm AEST (add one hour for daylight savings)

As the blessed Sun reaches its highest point in the sky, it's time to stand in its powerful energy.

Down under? Our witches are blessed with the radiant warmth of Summer during this calendar Christmas season. It's kinda weird - the energy around us is slowing down, with the natural landscape retreating & even dying off. But still, we're busy bees, rushing around with school holidays, end of year work things, shopping, prepping, embracing (and battling!) family, hosting, celestial celebrations. There's a paradox to it, and it's no WONDER this time of year is when many Southern Hemi witches feel exhausted, depleted, and truly in need of rest.

After all, it's what our landscape is already doing!

And yet.

This time of year is also a reminder of Nature's rhythm & the never-ending cycles of life. As the longest day of the year, the Summer solstice (aka Litha, in the Wheel of the Year) is a time of illumination & growth. The Sun's constant energy brings vitality & jostles our spirits. It's a time of the fae (think 'A Midsummer Night's Dream!) and the perfect moment for not only spellwork & celebration, but to also SIT IN THE QUIET.

To listen to the wind in the gumtrees. The stillness of the morning oceans. The rustle of our wheat fields. The laconic calls of cockatoos. To work with sunflowers, lavender, citrus, and herbs like rosemary, lemon thyme, & eucalyptus.

To bathe in the sunlight we ALL share, all around the world.

To rest.

May the Summer solstice bless you with spiritual (and literal!) warmth, your rituals with clarity, and your journey with safe passage.

May the Sun illuminate all that's possible for you, and show you the light at the end of any tunnels. May those wheat fields kiss your skin, and bring you back to what really matters.

Blessed Litha, witches. We love you.

Hello everyone! I'm in the middle of a revamp currently, and I am closing sales for a while to focus on the changes that are happening. For now, I may post some pre-loved items for sale, and I plan on setting down a number of mystery boxes in the meantime... Stay tuned! Thank you all for your support so far, and I hope to see you on the other side. Blessed be xx
