Description
At the crossroads, three roads meet and a torch burns for whoever arrives.
Hecate has held that light for thousands of years.
Herbal intention candles for crossroads work, dark moon ritual, and divination. π€
Hecate Herbal Intention Candles by Elemental Earth are 6-inch herbal pillar candles, hand-poured with a blend of natural herbs and essential oils and scented with patchouli and sandalwood. Hecate is the Greek goddess of crossroads, keys, torches, and the dark moon, honored by those who stand between one path and the next. Patchouli is associated with Earth and grounding, and sandalwood has long been burned in meditation and devotion. These candles are traditionally used in crossroads rituals, dark moon ceremonies, shadow work, divination, and psychic development. As the flame steadies, the room feels hushed and watchful, like a doorway left open for guidance.
