This is rather nice. My candles, incense and ink have found their way to a new outlet in Edinburgh. I can't recommend a visit to this wee gem of a shop more highly. Wheel of Fate is a beautifully curated collection of art, crafts and all things witchical. You can even learn book binding and broom making there.
We are now stocking these wonderful candles and inks from The Bour Tree!
Scented candles by made with rapeseed wax blended with essential oils. The candle comes in three different fragrances, as described on Claire's website:
Soisgeul: Thyme and Honeysuckle -
Soisgeul is a magic intended to protect and elevate the mood. Both these herbs have been used to provide magical protection in the past and both are know for their cheering scents.
Seun: Juniper and Pine -
Seun is the Highland practice of ritually cleansing a space or person. One way to do this was to burn either Pine or Juniper wood and allow the space to fill with smoke. This candle encapsulates the Highland version of smudging.
Eòlas: Rose and Elderflower -
Eòlas is inspired by Highland charms meant for healing. Traditional healers would take water from a spring or well and bless it with magical words, the use of this practice was called Eòlas, which means knowledge. This is a rich, heady candle with an intoxicating, sweet scent of rose with the lightness of elderflower.
Properly looked after these candles will burn for at least 30 hours.
