Your Journey Begins:
Detailed Description
Mood: Deep within the ancient monasteries of Ireland and Scotland, hooded monks paint intricate artwork onto the delicate pages of the illuminated manuscript.
Scent notes: Damp ink, leather-bound covers, and a hint of earthy lavender dried between pages.
Scent Strength: Medium
Scent-story:Transport yourself to the misty shores of the ancient Isles as you light Book of Kells and surround yourself with the stone walls of ancient abbeys, chanting monks, and the history of ages! Pick up an old favorite book or sit back with a historical movie and allow the scent of this candle to take you back in time and fill your home with the scent and sound of an ancient monastery.
On the rugged Scottish Isle of Iona, the salty sting of the cold sea air rises off the pristine waters where arctic terns call and green seagrass waves softly in the breeze surrounding a stone monastery.
Parchment crinkles beneath the touch of a robed monk as he mixes natural pigments to create bright colors for his masterpiece, the scent of fresh ink and spilled candle wax filling the simple room.

Candle Care Tips
1) For the first burn, let the candle burn for up to 3-4 hours - or until the melted "pool" reaches the edge. (Typically 1-2 hours for a 2oz sample size.) This prevents tunneling! Candles have memory!
2) Always trim your wooden wick to 1/8 inch.If your wick is too long, the flame will be too big and can become a fire hazard and also give off wisps of smoke that shouldn't be there. (Nail clippers work great for wooden wicks!)
3) Clear any debris from your candlebefore burning, including any soot build-up on the wick. This will help your candle to last longer and burn cleaner! Never burn near anything flammable.
4) Always place your candle on a non-flammable surface! All candle vessels will get hot - be sure to place your candle on a proper candle holder or heat-safe surface that will not burn or ignite.
5) Never leave a candle unattended!In addition, be sure there is nothing nearby your candle that can ignite (hairspray, a wall, paper, a lamp, a pillow, etc.)
6) Enjoy your candles! Mythologie Candles are meant to transport you to another time, world, or dimension! Science proves that scent can alter the mood for the better: enjoy the fully immersive experiences Mythologie Candles provide whenever you need a pick-me-up, inspiration, or an immersion into your favorite book, movie, or game!

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything You Need To Know Before Your Journey Begins
Our wood wick and optimized wax blend creates superior scent throw that fills spaces up to 400 sq ft. Most customers report the scent reaches every corner of their room within 20 minutes.
Our candles are designed for 40-50 hours of burn time when used properly. To maximize longevity, burn for 2-3 hours per session (allowing the wax to melt fully to the edges), trim the wood wick to 1/8" before each use, and avoid burning in drafty areas. Many customers report their candles lasting 6-8 weeks with regular evening use.
Most customers find the wood wick's gentle crackling enhances their reading experience, creating a cozy, fireplace-like ambiance. The sound is soft and intermittent—comparable to distant rain or a crackling hearth—rather than constant or intrusive. Many reviewers specifically mention it adds to the immersive, story-like atmosphere. However, if you prefer complete silence, you can trim the wick slightly shorter to reduce crackling.
We understand scent is deeply personal. If a candle doesn't match your expectations, please reach out within 30 days of delivery. While we can't accept returns on used candles (for safety reasons), we're happy to help you find a better match from our collection or provide store credit. We recommend starting with sample packs to discover your favorites before committing to full-size candles.
Our candles use premium ingredients you won't find in mass-market brands: hand-poured coconut-soy wax blends, wooden wicks for superior scent throw, and complex fragrance compositions designed by scent artisans. Customers consistently report our candles last longer, smell stronger, and create more immersive experiences than drugstore alternatives. Think of it as the difference between a paperback and a leather-bound first edition—both serve a purpose, but the experience is fundamentally different.
Absolutely—these make exceptional gifts for fantasy enthusiasts, readers, gamers, and anyone who loves immersive experiences. Each candle arrives beautifully packaged with themed artwork and literary references. We also offer gift sample packs if you're unsure of scent preferences, and you can include a personalized gift message at checkout. Many customers specifically order our candles as thoughtful gifts because they show genuine understanding of the recipient's interests.
Wood wicks are actually quite easy once you know the technique. For first light, hold the flame across the entire width of the wick for 10-15 seconds (rather than just the tip like cotton wicks). Before each subsequent burn, use scissors or nail clippers to trim any charred wood to about 1/8". The wick should light easily with a match or long lighter. If it ever goes out during burning, simply trim away the charred portion and relight. Most customers find the ritual meditative and part of the overall experience.
