Myrrh

Myrrh: Ancient Wisdom in Resin Form

This myrrh candle transports you somewhere sacred-myrrh (Commiphora myrrha) is one of those scents that immediately transports you somewhere else-somewhere old, somewhere sacred. It's been used in temples, ceremonies, and spiritual practice for over 5,000 years. This isn't trendy spirituality-this is the real deal, the scent of transformation and deep inner work.

Why Myrrh Was So Sacred:
Remember the three gifts brought to baby Jesus? Gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Myrrh was literally considered as valuable as gold-that's how precious it was. Ancient Egyptians used it in their most important ceremonies, including preparing people for the afterlife. In Jewish tradition, it was part of the holy anointing oil used to consecrate sacred spaces. Across cultures and religions, myrrh shows up at the big moments: births, deaths, initiations, transformations. The times when we're standing at a threshold between one thing and another.

Working With Myrrh Spiritually:
This is the candle for deep work, not surface stuff. People use myrrh to consecrate sacred space before serious meditation or ritual. It's traditional for shadow work-looking at the parts of yourself that are hard to face. It's associated with the divine feminine and transformative power, which makes sense because real transformation requires both creation and destruction. If you're the type to go deep in your spiritual practice, this is your scent.

What That Scent Does:
There's something about myrrh's deep, earthy, balsamic smell that shifts the energy in a room. For thousands of years, people have burned it specifically to facilitate meditation and contemplative states. The resinous, mysterious quality creates an atmosphere that traditional practitioners describe as being conducive to inner work and spiritual focus. It's not a light, happy scent-it's profound and grounding, the kind of smell that makes you want to sit still and think deeply.

Infusing Resin Into Wax:
Myrrh resin is genuinely expensive and working with it is an art form. We infuse actual myrrh resin directly into the beeswax-not oil, not fragrance, but the actual tree resin that's been used in temples for millennia. Resin behaves completely differently from herbs or flowers. It needs sustained heat over many hours to fully dissolve and integrate into the wax, but the temperature has to be precise or you destroy the compounds that give myrrh its sacred, mystical character. This is one of our most time-intensive infusions, and you can smell the difference-it's the authentic temple scent, deep and balsamic and real.
