Origin & Lore
Boundaries is a modern ritual candle aimed at a modern problem, the over-giver who leaves no energy for themselves. It pairs calendula, a sunny flower of comfort and protection, with dragon’s blood, a resin long burned to strengthen and guard any working.
Some protection is a wall. This candle is a fence with a gate: it lets the good in and keeps the takers out.
Nicholas Culpeper called the marigold, calendula, a herb of the Sun under Leo. Dragon’s blood is a red resin from Dracaena trees, including the dragon tree of Socotra, and from Daemonorops palms; Pliny the Elder repeated the story that the red pigment called cinnabar was the mingled blood of a dragon and an elephant crushed in their final struggle.
Did You Know?
Calendula takes its name from the Latin calendae, the first day of the month, a nod to how long it keeps flowering.
