Persephone's Flame Candle

Persephone’s Flame

A ritual candle honouring Persephone and Proserpina—goddesses of the Underworld, spring, rebirth, and sacred sovereignty.

Persephone’s Flame bridges the realms of light and shadow, life and death. Created as a devotional and magical tool, this candle supports shadow work, ancestral rites, fertility spells, and personal transformation.

It opens with rich notes of dark cherry, pomegranate, blackcurrant, and star anise, softens into violet and lemongrass, and settles in a deep vanilla musk base.

Each is hand-poured into a pomegranate-shaped tin designed to be reused as a spell box, altar jar, or sacred keepsake once the wax has melted. Adorned with a mini skull and pomegranate brooch, this offering honours the goddess in both her light and shadow aspects. Only 12 available.

WARNING: Please remove all decorations before burning the candle.
The Skull & Pomegranate Brooch are not to be burned... You can place them beside the candle, on your altar, or repurpose them in other magical or everyday ways.

💀 Queen of the Underworld & Guide of the Dead
Persephone rules over the realm of the dead and walks between the worlds. She knows grief, loss, and the darkness of death intimately—but also the return to light. She doesn’t shy away from sorrow. Instead, she holds space for transformation, mourning, and rebirth. For someone facing deep grief, Persephone offers a presence that validates sorrow while gently guiding the soul through it.

Why the Price?
While these candles may be small in size, they are entirely unique; each one handcrafted with care, and no two are exactly alike. The placement of botanicals and adornments will vary, making every candle a one-of-a-kind ritual piece.

The ornate pomegranate-shaped tins are imported from Istanbul, Turkey. Their rarity and beauty make them a valuable part of the candle itself, and they’re designed to be reused long after the flame has burned out - as a spell box, keepsake jar, or altar piece.

This is more than a candle. It’s a crafted devotional tool and sacred object.
