Via Sacra olive wax candle

The Via Sacra—the sacred way—is named after the ancient processional routes along which people have made pilgrimages to holy sites for millennia. This candle was created as a companion for this inner pilgrimage. Pure olive wax provides the perfect foundation, as it has itself been considered a sacred material since ancient times and is used in many cultures for purification and blessing. The fragrance composition follows the traditional structure of a cleansing ritual: Mugwort opens sacred space. This plant is revered as "Grandmother Sage" in shamanic traditions worldwide. Its herbal-spicy scent has an immediately clarifying effect on the mind and atmosphere. In European tradition, mugwort was given to travelers as a protective herb—a perfect companion for the spiritual journey. Frankincense forms the heart of the composition. Its characteristic resinous, sweet and warm scent rises like a prayer. Used in religious ceremonies for thousands of years, frankincense helps uplift the spirit and establish a connection with the divine. Scientific studies confirm its meditative and stress-reducing effects. Sandalwood adds a deep, grounding presence. Its warm, sweet, woody scent is particularly valued in Eastern spirituality. It supports meditation and helps one arrive in the here and now. Sandalwood creates a protected space for inner work. Juniper closes the circle with its cleansing, purifying energy. Its fresh, resinous scent has traditionally been used to purify spaces and protect against negative energies. It lends the composition an invigorating, uplifting note.
