My blood is alive with many voices telling me I am made of longing. --- The Book of Hours, Rainier Maria Rilke

With the first breath of winter, Persephone's Descent begins---a journey from the world of blooming fields into the shadowed realm beneath the earth. Her footsteps mark the shifting of seasons, where light yields to darkness, and life burrows deep into the soil to endure the long night. In this mythic passage, endings and beginnings entwine, and the air grows thick with quiet magic. Persephone's Descent captures this ancient transformation, drawing you into a place where roots twist deep into the earth, and the air hums with forgotten power.

Light this candle to wander through forests stripped bare by winter's breath, where wild herbs cling stubbornly to brittle branches, and woodsmoke spices the still air. Tree bark and sandalwood evoke the scent of deep earth, while hints of rosemary, vetiver, and cedar leaf swirl like sacred offerings carried on the wind. With every flicker, Persphone's Descent pulls you deeper into a world where shadows are lush, and the promise of spring lies hidden beneath the frozen ground.

Persephone's Descent is part of the Main collection, a series of candles that draw inspiration from popular literature and creative concepts.
