The cleverest, most heart-filled melting pot I’ve ever created: and it comes to bloom in stages.

First, the candle. Hand-poured with soy wax and a delicate olive-leaf and thyme fragrance, it can be lit during times of reflection and remembering or it can fill your house with a beautiful sense of calm at any time you’re searching for it. Gently peel off the label before you light it and pop it somewhere safe.

Then, when the candle is all melted down, take the label and soak it in some warm water. It is embedded with thyme seeds: so once it is soft and pliable, take it and lay it in potting mix: you can do this in the jar (wash with soapy water and dry thoroughly first), or in a garden bed. Keep your seedlings warm and safe until they sprout, and water often.

At the end of it all, you will have new life. So whatever it is you are moving through; grief, or loss, or a sweet goodbye to a person or a pet or a relationship or a season of your life, will end in something lovely.

This is true ritual.. one that is very close to my heart and was dreamed up in memory of our feathery little babes, lost a few full-moons ago.

May thyme heal all x
