🐎 2026: The Year of the Horse 🐎

In Celtic and Druidic stories, the horse was never just a horse.
(We weren’t great at understatement.)

They were sacred, strong, free, and a bit otherworldly.
Messengers between worlds. Guides for the soul. Symbols of protection, prosperity, and knowing when it was your turn to lead.
Basically, if you saw a horse in a story, something important was about to happen!

The Celts believed horses carried us through endings and beginnings -death and rebirth, loss and renewal. They showed up when it was time to move forward…whether you felt ready or not!

Which feels about right for 2026.

Then there’s Texas.

Here, the horse isn’t myth - it’s muscle, work, independence, and grit.
It’s early mornings, long days, and getting on with it because no one’s handing you a medal for trying.

Different accent. Same backbone.

Across oceans and centuries, the meaning stays the same: Strength. Purpose. Forward motion.

At Gluttony Candles, this is the year we’re stepping into. Not rushing, not standing still, and definitely not lighting the way with anything flimsy.

We make chef-made, clean-burning soy candles meant to ground you, warm you, and remind you where you’re headed.

Light isn’t just comfort. It’s guidance.
It tells you you’re still moving. Still here. Still going.

So here’s to a year of steady strength, quiet confidence, and doing the work - with a bit of warmth, a bit of stubbornness, and maybe a muttered
“right then… let’s get on with it.” 🐎🔥

Gluttony Candles - Light the Way.

Today we pause, breathe, and remember. One soft flame at a time.

We pause to honor all who have served and continue to serve. Those who’ve given their time, their courage, and, for too many, their lives for the freedoms we hold dear.

Here at Gluttony Candles, this day holds special meaning. We remember Lt. Col. John D. Murphree, who served honorably in the U.S. Army and in Vietnam. He was not only a soldier but a mentor, a father, and the steady hand behind so much of what shaped our own “crazy chef,” Bryce Murphree. His steady presence and the lessons he passed on still guide us, in how we work, create, and move through the world.

In Ireland, we light a candle to remember. To share the flicker of love that never fades, to honor those whose presence continues to warm our hearts long after they’re gone.

So today, we light one for Lt. Col. Murphree, and for every brave soul who has served this country. Remembered. Never forgotten. Loved continuously.
🕯️ Freedom is a precious thing. May we never take it for granted.🕯️

Markets are more than places to shop. They’re where stories, neighbors, and creativity come together.

Every vendor has a dream behind their table - a mother saving for her child’s college, a chef chasing a new idea, an artist sharing their craft.
These are the people who make our communities thrive...one scent, flavor, and smile at a time.

Because let’s face it… the countdown to the holidays has officially begun. Thanksgiving’s right around the corner, and it’s never too early to stock up on gifts that smell so good, they’ll swear you’ve been baking all day. Use code BANSHEE10 before midnight and let your home smell like pure fall magic.

🌕 The Irish Banshee Welcomes Spooky Season 🕯️🍂

It’s that glorious time of year when the air (theoretically) cools, pumpkins glow on every doorstep, and whispers of mischief drift through the night.

Before we lose ourselves in candy and costumes, let’s travel back to where it all began - the emerald hills of Ireland, where Halloween was born. 🇮🇪

Over 2,000 years ago, the Celts marked the turning of the seasons with Samhain (Sow-in), when the veil between this world and the next grew thin. Spirits walked among us - some gentle, some not and fires blazed high to welcome ancestors home while warding off the trickier sort. You might say the Irish have always been on good terms with the otherworld; we’re a people of spirits, fairies, and stories whispered by candlelight.

So this Halloween, as you light your Gluttony Candle, think of it as your own little Samhain flame - a chef-made, soy-wax nod to the warmth of the hearth and the mystery of the night. 🔥

Whether you choose Roasted Pumpkin, Bourbon & Butterscotch, or Orange Chili Pepper, let the scent carry you somewhere just beyond the ordinary.

Curious where the Banshee fits into all this? Follow the wail to The Banshee’s Table for the full tale… if you dare. https://www.gluttonycandles.com/post/roasted-pumpkin-salad-samhain-halloween-recipe 💀✨
