Natural Candle Guide & Wellness Tips by VOTIVE

The ancient Greeks did not separate beauty from utility. Their myths were their science. The goddess figures they carved — Venus rising from seafoam, Artemis mid-hunt, Medusa in the moment before transformation — were objects people lived alongside, not preserved behind glass.Venus — goddess of love and beautyAt Votive, the Venus Goddess Candle is a sculptural soy wax bust, hand-poured in small batches in Orlando. The Venus Caryatid Column Candle places her figure on a classical architectural column, referencing the caryatid sculptures of the Erechtheion in Athens. Both are available in ten colourways, from soft alabaster to moss green to matte black.Artemis — goddess of the hunt and the moonArtemis is the counterpoint to Venus: precise, self-sufficient, associated with both the hunt and the moon. The Artemis Bust Candle captures the clarity of her expression — neoclassical in form, contemporary in finish. In ivory, she suggests a classical figure study; in black, something more otherworldly. Burns 85–100 hours at the standard size.Medusa — the misread goddessMedusa was a priestess, transformed against her will. The Medusa Candle and the larger Huge Luxury Medusa render the snakes in careful detail — coiling through the hair, framing the face — giving the piece a visual restlessness that works well against clean architectural surfaces.Hera, Apollo, Hermes, Zeus and CupidHera — queen of the gods, rendered as a composed authoritative bust. Apollo carries an oceanic black coral and sea moss fragrance. Hermes pairs with smoky leather and tobacco. Cupid is the smallest in the collection. The Winged Victory — headless, armless, and utterly arresting — rounds out the range.Browse the full goddess candle collection at Votive Candle Co.
