Self Love & Softening | Lover's Embrace Devotion

Hold yourself the way you hope to be held.

Lover's Embrace Devotion is a hand-painted concrete candle for tenderness, worth, and gentle receiving. Light it when you feel tender or hard on yourself and need care that does not ask you to perform.

How to use it
Begin with the 3-Day Reset to clear the room, then follow the 7-Night Working, one focus each night. The ritual cards come in the box.

Scent story
Ginger and citrus open bright and clean, lifted by green leaves and petitgrain, like sunshine through a window. The heart blooms into jasmine and honeysuckle, soft and airy. The base settles into violet, powder, amyris, and patchouli, calming and gently nostalgic.
