PERSEPHONE CANDLE — BLOOM IN THE UNDERWORLD
WHY LIGHT PERSEPHONE?
Dual‑Realm Power – She runs both Spring and the Underworld. Strike the match, own your dark AND your bloom.
Scent Story – Juicy pomegranate + pink peony up top, blackcurrant & night‑blooming jasmine in the heart, grounded by earthy patchouli & white moss. Smells like dawn cracking open underground.
Eco‑Luxury, Eternal Return – Hand‑blown glass vessel, ceramic wick holder, plant‑based oil. Refill forever, resurrect forever.
Built‑In Mythos – Each burn is a border crossing: six bites of pomegranate, six months of glow.
BEST MOMENTS TO BLOOM (OR DESCEND)
• Vernal Equinox intentions (spring ritual candle; renewal spell)
• Autumn Equinox shadow work (underworld meditation candle; inner alchemy)
• Self‑care dusk baths (floral aromatherapy candle; feminine power ritual)
• Ancestral altars & Samhain (veil‑thin candle; ancestor honoring fragrance)
• Creative seed‑planting sessions (inspiration candle; story germination)
DESCENT & RETURN RITUAL (15 MIN DOWN, 15 MIN UP)
- Set the Threshold – Place candle on dark stone coaster; scatter a ring of fresh flower petals.
- Center Breath – Three slow inhales of pomegranate‑peony; exhale into the belly.
- Speak the Descent – Whisper: “I claim what waits below,” then light the wick.
- Shadow Journaling (15 min) – Free‑write fears, doubts, buried wants. Let the fragrance hold space.
- Mark the Ascent – Sprinkle a pinch of sugar (or dried rose) beside the flame and declare: “I rise crowned in bloom.”
- Vision Casting (15 min) – Flip the page; script the future in full color.
- Snuff & Seal – Cap the flame, press petals into journal, close with “So I descend, so I rise.”
STYLING IDEAS: UNDERWORLD GARDEN CHIC
• Equinox Table‑Scape – Persephone at center, ring of pomegranates and white taper candles. Dark‑to‑light gradient tablecloth.
• Shadow‑Work Nook – Candle, black journal, quartz cluster. Every session = guided descent.
• Bloom‑After‑Dark Party – Dim lights, floral‑house playlist, Persephone candles lining the hallway like a petal‑lit tunnel.
• Rebirth Bath – Candle on tub ledge, milk & rose‑petal water, lo‑fi beats. Return glowing.
REFILL INSTRUCTIONS — ETERNAL SPRING IN FIVE STEPS

- Slow‑pour Persephone Refill Oil to ½ inch below rim.
- Reseat wick, wait five minutes, relight. Cycle complete.
FAQ: Can I sub in cooking oil? Only if you want Persephone to ghost your altar. Use LOGOS‑formulated nectar—descent‑approved.
Own the dark. Wear the bloom. Let Persephone light the way back.
