Heretic - Memento Mori Candle
Official Retailer
Heretic Memento Mori Candle: An illumination of mortality. This candle is more than a flickering light; it is a meditation in wax. Cast from an original hand-carved wooden skull created by French Monastic artisans that once rested in the shadowed halls of a monastery, it reminds us of the delicate veil between life and the hereafter. Unscented.
Cast from an 18th-century Momento Mori, an original hand-carved wooden skull created by French Monastic artisans, this candle is more than a flickering light; it is a meditation in wax. Shaped in solitude, carved in silence, the original relic once rested in the shadowed halls of a monastery, where every breath and echo reminded its keepers of the delicate veil between life and the hereafter. The monks, sworn to contemplation, sculpted it not as a warning, but as a whisper: all things pass - beauty, power, sorrow, self. Each candle is faithfully reproduced from this sacred carving, preserving the fine bone contours, the age-[worn fissures, the serene grimace of eternity. When lit, it burns not brightly, but wisely. The flame dances like a soul in passage, casting long shadows and longer thoughts. Let it glow. Let it remind. Let it remain.

Candle Care
- Allow wax to melt to the full edge of the vessel before extinguishing
- Burn for at least 2 hours on first use
- This prevents tunneling and sets the candle's memory
- Trim the wick to ¼ inch before each lighting
- Never burn longer than 4 hours at a time
- Keep away from drafts, vents, and moving air
- Replace the lid or cover to protect from dust
- Store away from direct sunlight — UV fades fragrance and finish
- Discontinue use when ¼ inch of wax remains at the bottom
