Roundhouse Candle | Forest Pine, Oakmoss, and Citrus

The element of earth can be seen as many things, the soil we dig, the trees we grow and cut, the very food we eat comes from it. The cycle of new life and decay. For those prehistoric people that built and lived within roundhouses, earth was extremely important not only to live on, but to build from too. Timbers would be cut, hewn and dug deep into the ground, acting as a base for their round homes. The wattle used would be insulated and daubed with clay, the roofs covered in the skins of animals or thatch. This was a life that was deeply connected to all elements, especially earth.

Mood: Cracking of timbers echoes, the smell of freshly hewn wood, and earthy pine reach you as you walk towards the settlement. White smoke curls in the air, stemming from the cluster of roundhouses in front of you, as people gather ready for the waning sun. Fir needles break underfoot as you carry for your bundle of foraged wildflowers and currents from the neighbouring forest towards home. The ancient roundhouses are alive around you.

Smell: Evergreens, fallen fir needles, soothing balsam, citrus, and oakmoss.

Handmade, eco-friendly, vegan, animal cruelty free.
