In Greek mythology, Hera was the queen of the Olympians — goddess of marriage, family, and the sky. Not the approachable warmth of Aphrodite, not the fierce independence of Artemis: Hera was composure itself. Regal, deliberate, the figure who makes a room settle when she enters it. This bust captures exactly that quality.
Hand-poured from 100% natural soy wax in our Orlando, FL studio, then individually hand-finished. The Hera pairs naturally with our Venus and Artemis busts to form a complete Greek goddess grouping — three different faces of feminine power on a single shelf.
Available scents: Musk · Palo Santo & Sandalwood · Coconut Lime · Vanilla · Woody. All fragrances are phthalate-free.

Candle care
- ✂️ Trim the wick to 5 mm (¼ inch) before every burn for a clean, steady flame.
- ⏱️ First burn matters most — let the wax pool reach the full edge before extinguishing to prevent tunnelling.
- 🕐 Keep burns to 2–3 hours per session to prevent wick mushrooming and maintain fragrance throw.
- 📍 Place on a stable, flat surface away from draughts, fans, and open windows.
- 🛑 Stop burning when 1 cm of wax remains to protect the vessel base from overheating.
- ☀️ Store away from direct sunlight and heat to preserve the sculpture's color and fragrance.
- 🔥 Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep away from children, pets, and flammable materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I actually burn the Hera Bust Candle, or is it just decorative?
Both. The sculptural detail holds beautifully as the wax melts — many customers light it for the atmosphere and fragrance, then keep it on display to preserve the form. There is no wrong way to enjoy it.
What makes Hera different from the other goddess busts?
While the Venus captures beauty and sensuality and the Artemis projects wild independence, Hera projects authority and composure — a regal, grounding presence. They form a complete narrative together, but each works powerfully on its own.
Which scent suits Hera best?
Palo Santo & Sandalwood — warm, grounding, slightly ceremonial — aligns with Hera's composed, regal character. Musk is the most subtle option, letting the sculpture speak for itself. Vanilla is the crowd-pleaser if you are unsure.
What does phthalate-free mean?
Phthalates are sometimes used in synthetic fragrances to extend their longevity. We use only phthalate-free fragrance oils — the same scent throw, without the compounds. Every Votive candle is phthalate-free, paraffin-free, and made with 100% natural soy wax.
Does it arrive gift-ready?
Yes. Every Votive order ships in gift-ready packaging. You can add a personalised note at checkout — ideal for birthdays, anniversaries, housewarming gifts, and mythology-loving friends.
Which other products pair well with the Hera?
The Venus, Artemis, Medusa, and Zeus busts all share the same sculptural scale and soy wax base, so they display cleanly together. The Huge Medusa is our most statement-worthy piece at a larger scale. All are hand-poured in Orlando from 100% natural soy wax.
