Northbound Candle - Ritual Rooted in Michigan

A flame for direction — when you’re ready to steady yourself and move forward.

Northbound isn’t just a candle - it’s a compass in wax and flame.

Scent Story

Hand-poured with a grounding blend of soy + beeswax and infused with cedarwood, frankincense, and sweetgrass, Northbound carries notes of earthy woods, sacred smoke, and crisp air. Imagine a winter path lined with pines, breath visible in the cold, and the quiet pull of something greater guiding you on.

Ritual Meaning

For centuries, cedar has been burned to clear heavy energy, while frankincense was offered in sacred temples as a bridge between earth and spirit. Sweetgrass, long regarded as a sacred plant in Native traditions, is braided and burned to invite blessings. Together, these scents create a compass ritual - reminding you of strength, clarity, and direction when you feel untethered.

Northbound is your call to stillness - the scent of sweetgrass underfoot, cedar in the air, and balsam clinging to the breeze.

Topped with a hand-poured Michigan-shaped wax design, this flame is a tribute to deep roots and deeper return.

Let it burn when you’re ready to remember where you came from.
