  • "Special shop and special candles! I love them. They burn for a long time and smell heavenly. Why people ever started adding scents to them is beyond me, because beeswax smells incredible."

    EMILIA ✭✭✭✭✭

    Verified Customer

  • "Love, love, love! I was looking for beeswax votives to use in my personal altar and that would fit in an old scented votive candle holder that was used. These fit the bill and exceeded expectations. I was initially attracted by the very local to me location, and then charmed by the magical crafting. And the candles are wonderful - well made, beautiful flame and scent."

The ethos of lightwork is grounded in the idea that we evolve to reflect the light we follow.

For most of human history that light was the sun— cyclical and alive, shaping us in its image. Now life revolves around the light of screens, and we are shaped by those qualities too. Rinu is guided by the remembrance that our wellbeing is bound to our chosen cycles of illumination and reflection, offering slower and more intentional encounters with the invisible intelligence of living light.
