Volumes of Forgotten Lore Poe Pumpkins

14 oz soy candle

These delightfully spooky Poe Pumpkins are filled with Volumes of Forgotten Lore.

This candle takes its name from a famous line in Edgar Allan Poe's 1845 gothic poem The Raven. There is a special feeling and smell attached to books, to archives, to the process of the discovery of knowledge. Fragranced with oakmoss, firewood, birch, and archival texts, its intense and complex scent evokes old scrolls, rainy nights in library corners, forgotten tombs resting on old wooden tables, and ancient tales. The scent (re)creates the moment the scroll is unraveled, the dust is gently brushed from the book, the moment when the light flickers as you read the word you sought. Amethyst and obsidian ornament the top of the candle and curve alongside a black raven skull, made from organic beeswax and scented with birch. As the candle burns, the raven will slowly melt into the rest of the wax, leaving black and grey swirls.

This candle would make an excellent gift for the poetry or gothic literature lover in your life, or for someone who likes to forever conjure the haunting feeling of October. Similarly, it would also make a great gift for someone who is missing the special smell and experience of visiting old libraries, smelling physical books, and conducting in-person research.

Double-wicked and housed in a black pumpkin vessel.
