The Tidal Oracle Sea Salt Scented Candle

The Tidal Oracle is a sea salt candle for the guest bathroom, the full moon altar, the beach house, or the water sign who runs every bath a little too hot. Sea salt, freesia, and amber drift over tonka and soft musk in a 9 oz amber glass jar with a brushed gold lid, poured for anyone who believes the moon pulls on more than water.

✦ MATERIALS & PRODUCT DETAILS ✦

✦ Vessel: 9 oz amber glass jar with a brushed gold screw lid, 2.75 inches across and 3.5 inches tall with the lid on.

✦ Wax: about 6.9 oz of hand-poured coconut apricot wax, natural color with no dyes, vegan, paraben free, and phthalate free.

✦ Fragrance: phthalate-free oils made without ingredients on California's Proposition 65 list.

✦ Wick: cotton, lead free and zinc free.

✦ Burn time: approximately 50 hours.

✦ Made to order especially for you. Each candle is poured by hand, so fill line and jar height can vary by up to about a quarter inch.

✦ THE SCENT ✦

✦ Top: ozone and orange.

✦ Heart: sea salt, freesia, and green leaves.

✦ Base: tonka bean, light musk, and amber.

Salt air on the skin, a bunch of freesia on the windowsill, and the last warm light on the water before the tide turns. Clean and bright at first, then soft and a little golden as it burns.

✦ THE DESIGN ✦

A cresting wave rolls beneath a crescent moon, framed by two classical columns and an arched window, while golden art nouveau freesias climb both sides on teal stems. The art is set on deep navy within a fine gold border, with the title on a cream banner and the notes printed beneath. The moon governs the tide and the wave answers it, an old picture of intuition, cycles, and letting go.

✦ WHERE IT BELONGS ✦

✦ A guest bath with white towels and a bowl of sea glass.

✦ A full moon altar with a moonstone and a small dish of salt.

✦ The entry table of a coastal home, beside driftwood and shells.

✦ Any room in slate blue, cream, and weathered wood.

✦ A THOUGHTFUL GIFT ✦

✦ Gift for the sea witch, the beach lover, or the Pisces, Cancer, or Scorpio in your life.

✦ Housewarming gift for a beach house or a first apartment.

✦ Birthday, get well, or self care box.

✦ CARE RITUAL ✦

✦ Let the first burn melt the wax all the way to the edge of the jar, usually two to three hours.

✦ Trim the wick to a quarter inch before every burn.

✦ Burn no more than four hours at a time, and stop when half an inch of wax remains.

✦ Never leave a burning candle unattended; keep it away from children, pets, curtains, and drafts.

✦ Burn on a stable, heat-resistant surface. The glass becomes hot during and after burning.

✦ When it is finished, freeze the jar for an hour, lift out the last of the wax, and keep the amber jar for shells, brushes, or matches.
