The Kore - Dressed Taper Candle (set of 2)
When Kore, daughter of Demeter, transformed into Persephone (“bringer of death”), she became known for her dual nature. She is both the goddess of spring and the queen of the underworld.
Initially, when I first connected with the goddess, she came through to me as Kore. Kore (Κόρη) means “the maiden.” At first, this caught me by surprise, given that I was already a death doula and generally drawn to darkness. But over time, it’s become apparent how important working with this side of her would be to healing myself with tenderness.
I didn’t need more “tough love.” I needed a space to relearn how to be vulnerable and recover from burnout. I needed to reconnect with my sense of wonder, play, and joy.
I’m returning to my love of candlemaking as an act of devotion, returning to my softness, and embracing the joy of crafting once more.
These hand-dipped yellow beeswax taper candles with hemp wicks have been dressed in lavender and fortified using a sigil I created when communing the goddess in a Katabasis rite.
Each order includes:
The pair (set of 2) of taper candles (comes joined at the wick),
My Candle Guide. This includes a copy of a hymn to Kore-Persephone I wrote! It also has guidance on using your Kore candles either theurgically (theurgy: aiming for spiritual union with the divine) or thaumaturgically (thaumaturgy: focusing on manipulating natural forces for tangible effects in the physical world).
Channeled messages from my Katabsis rite,
And the sigil Kore-Persephone and I co-created.
Of course, you can also order and use them just because you love nontoxic candles and want to support my work!
Currently two (2) variants are available:
6-7 inch length.
7.5-8.5 inch length.
Shipping and local pickup are available. If you select local pickup during checkout, I’ll contact you using the email you used to complete your order to confirm pickup.
Benefits of beeswax candles: Beeswax candles are made from natural wax and don't release harmful chemicals into the air. They also release negative ions that help neutralize pollutants. This helps eliminate dust, odors, and mold in the atmosphere, easing allergy and asthma symptoms. Beeswax candles also typically burn brighter and longer than other candles.
As always, do not burn out of sight or leave unattended. Before burning, trim the wicks to ¼ inches in height to ensure maximum burn time.
Keep away from children and pets.
Keep away from other flammables and combustible materials.
