The Wild Wisdom collection is small-batch hand-poured in our Ontario studio, forged from a love of folklore and treasured tales, old ways and everyday magic. They’re crafted with fine fragrance oils, cottons wicks, and paraffin-free vegetable wax. The paper labels are handmade on a traditional letterpress, and illustrated by Annika Weidner.
THE RUNNING HARE
A twitch of a long ear amongst the tall dewy grasses, dawn chasing away the soft silvery orb of the moon. The otherworldly hare has long been a symbol of women, fertility, spring, and rebirth. In many tales, the hare is a witch's familiar, in some, the subtle shapeshifter herself. From ancient times the elusive hare has been a portent of both good tidings and ill, a fleet-footed messenger between worlds.

THE WHITE STAG
Stepping from mist and legend, the ethereal White Stag evokes awe and reverence, a symbol of the deep untamed forest. In Celtic & Norse folklore, a White Stag is a messenger from the Otherworld, a harbinger of sacred or forbidden land. In Arthurian legend, its uncanny elusive nature represented the quest for spiritual knowledge, appearing at pivotal moments of a knight's journey, leading the hunt ever onward.

THE WITCH OWL
The solitary owl glides on silent wings among curls of smoke rising from village chimneys in the dark. Ancient folklore connects the owl with the dark unknown, witchcraft, the pursuit of knowledge, and old wisdom. A sovereign of the night, the owl's great eyes pierce through darkness, a sight that is said to extend to the powers of prophecy.
