Meaning & history
The image of scissors as a symbol of release runs through many folk traditions — the idea that a clean cut can make space for something new. This candle borrows that imagery in a soft, reflective way, serving as a reminder to embrace change and let go of what no longer fits, rather than a promise of any specific result. It fits naturally into a broader collection of symbolic décor from our home and candles collections, alongside other pieces from other items.
How to use it
Set it in a meditation space, on a home altar, or anywhere you pause to reflect. Many people light it during moments of transition — closing a chapter, releasing a habit, or simply marking a fresh start — and let it burn gradually over several sittings.
Care & burn safety
Always burn on a heat-safe, stable surface away from curtains, papers, and other flammable materials. Keep it within sight and never leave a lit candle unattended. Trim the wick before each burn, and keep it out of reach of children and pets.
