Vernal Equinox: Balancing Light with Rathbornes Candles
The Vernal Equinox is a special time when day and night align in perfect balance, heralding the onset of spring and a season of renewal. It signifies a shift from the cold of winter to the welcoming warmth of spring.
Rathbornes, the world's oldest candle company, is at the heart of this seasonal transformation, whose creations echo this time's essence. Made with the rich heritage of Ireland, these candles do more than illuminate—they symbolise the equilibrium and change brought about by Equinox.
The Symbolism of Light
Dublin Tea Rose, Oud & Patchouli: This candle captures the delicate aroma of tea roses that bloom in early spring, combined with the rich, earthy tones of oud and the subtle warmth of patchouli. It evokes a serene garden at dawn, filled with the promise of new beginnings.
Wild Mint, Watercress & Thyme: Inspired by the lush Irish countryside after a rain, this candle blends the crisp scent of wild mint with the peppery spice of watercress and the earthy freshness of thyme. It's like a refreshing breeze, bringing the outdoors in through an open window.
Each Rathbornes candle is a testament to the company's commitment to sustainability and craftsmanship. The natural waxes, free from harmful chemicals, burn cleanly and evenly, so the air in your home is as fresh as the scents. These candles illuminate your space and enhance the sensory experience of spring, inviting the rejuvenating spirit of the season into every corner of your home.
Here are ideas to integrate these candles into your home, enhancing your surroundings with their unique scents and the tranquil ambiance they provide.
