Christina’s Mystical Journey ~  A Candlelit Tale

🕯️🌸🌛🌝🌜🌸🕯️

Christina, the enchantress behind Mystic Pines Candle Co., stepped into the magical realm of candle-making in 2013. Her heartfelt desire was to create luminous treasures that radiate safety and serenity - for both humans and the creatures who share this sacred existence with us. But her candles were never just about light; they’ve always carried purpose. Every candle sold supports animal rescue…a promise made from the start and one that will endure.

Through her healing flames, Christina illuminated the path for animals in need while finding solace in her battle against the shadows of Lyme disease. For over 20 years, this invisible ailment challenged her spirit, yet she fought back with every pour, blessing, and blend. Each candle became her offering - a vessel of intention, hope, and healing energy to share strength with others facing unseen battles.

Christina’s journey is deeply rooted in the old ways of her Italian ancestors, harmonized with the Roman Catholic traditions she grew up with. Her practices intertwine Benedicaria, the ancient folk magic of blessings and protection, with the guidance of the Saints, whose stories and sacred presence inspire her candle magick. The aroma of sacred oils, the flicker of candlelight, and the whispered prayers blend seamlessly into her craft, bringing the sacred and mystical together.

As she works at her candle altar, Christina blends soy and beeswax, infusing them with oils of frankincense, myrrh, and memories. Each creation is a tapestry woven with whispered blessings, heartfelt prayers, and her unwavering love for the sacred elements…earth, air, fire, water, and spirit. Every candle reflects her journey, carrying her devotion, intention, and healing energy to mend even the deepest shadows.

When customers light her candles, they unknowingly join Christina in her pilgrimage…a shared journey through sacred scents, whispered blessings, and the timeless power of devotion and magick infused with love. 

With love woven through my hands, heart, and home, I thank you for embracing the magick of Mystic Pines Candle Co. and the light within our creations.
