Athena (Bergamot & Neroli Soy Candle)
Scent Notes: Bergamot | Neroli | Lavender
Atmospheric Benefits: Strength · Wisdom · Clarity
Summon your inner goddess with Athena, a candle inspired by the Greek deity of wisdom, strategy, and courage. The invigorating notes of bergamot, paired with soothing neroli and calming lavender, create a fragrance that awakens clarity while inviting stillness — a sacred blend for those navigating the complexities of the world with grace and power.
Each flame is a flicker of resilience. Each breath of scent is a reminder that strength and softness can coexist. But Athena is more than a candle — it’s a force for change. 15% of every purchase is donated to the Thrive Empowerment Center in Covington, KY, supporting their “Sponsor a Warrior” initiative, which funds training for survivors — including women in domestic violence shelters — through Empowerment Self-Defense programs.
When you light this candle, you're not just creating space for yourself — you're lighting the way for others.

Candle Care & Safety
To keep your Athena candle (and all our wood wick creations) burning safely and beautifully, follow these sacred care tips:
Trim the Wick – Before each burn, gently trim your wood wick to about 1/8"–3/16". This ensures a steady flame and reduces soot or flickering.
Let It Pool – On your first burn, allow the wax to melt fully across the surface. This prevents tunneling and ensures an even, long-lasting burn.
Burn in 2-Hour Rituals – For safety and performance, do not burn your candle for more than 2 hours at a time, especially once the wax has reached the halfway point of the jar.
Keep Within Sight – Always burn your candle in a safe, visible space, away from drafts, children, pets, or anything flammable. Never leave it unattended.
Store Like a Spellbook – Keep your candle out of direct sunlight, heat, and humidity to preserve its scent, structure, and sacredness.
Extinguish with Care – Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame — never extinguish with water, and avoid using the lid.
For full guidance, refer to the warning label on the base of your jar. Burn with intention, and let your light become a beacon of strength — for you, and for others.
