New Moon Beginnings: Sacred Smudge Candles


I had a hankering for some tealights after I used all mine up. I tend to light them around the bath tub, my nightstand and on my bookshelf. Etsy called out to be explored and I ended up at New Moon Beginnings. Spying all those crystals and botanicals embedded into all natural candles sold it for me. A six pack of tea lights ran around $11 and was $14.92 total after shipping. 

I chose the scent Sacred Smudge which merges cedar, sage and lavender essential oils.


These burned beautifully. No tunneling and strong wicks. The gemstones and juniper sprigs were generously sprinkled within. The candle threw velvety herbal sage and smoky lavender within a wooden backdrop in a medium-strong throw.



I love these tealights and will be back for more. I love the scent list, the careful packaging and eye to detail. I will be trying larger candles with confidence too. 

Do you like extra touches in your candles? Are you into all natural candles?

  1. Those are so pretty too! I love all natural candles but it is hard to find ones that have a notable scent. Did you keep the stones?

    1. You are absolutely right about that. Essential oil candles often give very little throw. These were surprisingly nice! I actually smelled them! LOL! I did keep the stones. I put the tiniest ones in this wee fairy jar I have and the rest I am saving to string. I have this idea of making some wild crafted chimes/mobile out of found things... stones, feathers, shells and whatnot. These stones have drilled holes so I am include them.

  2. Very cool, you don't see the tealight format very often, usually it's just wax or jar candles. I bet they smell wonderful - I love all those scents when they're really real.

    1. You are right. Nicely scented tealights are not always easy to find but I have so many little cute candle holders for them that I enjoy using them. Especially around the bath tub at night. Comfy cozy. I am becoming more and more appreciative of all natural scents. I find I am moving away from majority fragrance oil and more into natural ingredients when I can. Carol will still always have my heart with her massive throwing FO creations though! LOL!
