Sweet Strega Luxury Coconut Soy Wax Scented Candle

“In a town in Calabria, a long time ago, there lived an old lady everyone called Stega Nona, “which meant grandma  witch”. - Tommie Depaola

“Strega Nona” was a personal favorite book of mine growing up. The glorious little Italian kitchen witch and her magic pasta pot were a childhood favorite fantasy world of mine. I created this candle in homage to her. No, this candle doesn't smell like a pot of pasta but what I envision she would serve for dessert, a glorious Sicilian style citrus cannoli with hints of lavender sugar…Yumm!

This one's for for my hearth and kitchen witches out there who love sweet lemon and lavender. 

Notes: Sweet Lemon, French Lavender, Bergamot, Musk, Woods

Vespertide Apotheca's luxury scented candles are hand poured into a glossy black ceramic jar in small batches and made with 100% natural coconut soy wax blend. Coconut soy wax is environmentally friendly and is free of petrochemicals that can pollute the air in your home. Our candles use 100% cotton wicks with no hard metals. All of our fragrances are Ecocert certified clean, and are paraben and phthalate free. These candles are dye free and clean burning. 

Vespertide Apotheca is owned and operated by two women who practice traditional witchcraft and spiritualism. We are committed to running an environmentally conscious company that produces a finely crafted handmade item made with love for the discerning witch. These candles can serve as a blank canvas for your spiritual practice as they are neither dressed nor charged. 

All candles burn at varying rates and there are several factors which can alter burn times such as: size of wick, air flow in the environment, size and shape of candle, presence or absence of fragrance, and oxygen level of the environment.

We are a disposable plastic free company and our shipping materials, including our tape, is plastic free and biodegradable. 

Warning: Please make sure to burn the candle on a heat resistant surface. When burning any candle it is important to burn it for about 1 hour per inch of the width/diameter. For example:  Candles with a 3 inch diameter should be burned for three hours at a time to prevent tunneling in the pillar, and this maximizes the use of the wax.

Burn within sight.

Keep away from flammables.

Keep away from children.

Trim wick to ¼" before lighting.

Do not burn more than 3-4 hours
