Anchors & Intentions

January arrives not with urgency, but with weight.
It is the month of anchors.

After the rush of the holidays, this is the time to return to what steadies us — to rituals that ground us, moments of stillness, and the quiet power of flame. At Cressa Candles, we believe anchors are not restraints; they are touchstones. Reminders of who we are when everything else falls away.

Welcome to the January edition of The Enchanted Flame.

🕯️ Seasonal Scent Collection — Final Weeks

Our Seasonal Scent Collection is still here — but only for a little longer.

These scents, crafted to embody the depth and atmosphere of fall and winter, will remain available through January 31st. Once the month ends, the collection will retreat until the seasons turn again. If there’s a scent you’ve made part of your winter rituals, now is the time to anchor it into your space before it disappears.

⚡ Gods Among Us Collection — Now Available for Pre-Order

The Gods Among Us Collection is currently available for pre-order, inviting ancient energies into the modern world.

Each pairing represents more than mythology — they embody forces we can call upon in our daily lives:

• Zeus & Hera — authority, balance, leadership, and partnership

• Hades & Persephone — transformation, rebirth, shadow work, and cycles

• Poseidon & Amphitrite — emotional depth, intuition, and steady strength beneath turbulence

• Eros & Psyche — devotion, vulnerability, soul-deep connection, and growth through love

This collection is for those seeking intention, reflection, and divine grounding woven into ritual and flame.

📖 New Endeavor: The Shadowed Books

We’re stepping into a new creative space with the launch of our blog, The Shadowed Books.

This blog will explore mythology, shadow work, ritual, self-reflection, and the stories that live beneath the surface — the same themes that inspire our candles. It’s a place to linger, to read slowly, and to reconnect with the unseen threads that shape us.

🔮 Looking Ahead: Our Intentions for the Year

This year, our focus is intentional growth.

We’re planning:

• Continued expansion of our collections

• Deeper storytelling behind our scents

• More educational and reflective content

• Opportunities to connect in person through events and markets

Rather than rushing forward, we’re choosing to move anchored — creating with purpose, care, and meaning.

🕯️ Candle of the Month — Winter’s Veil

January’s Candle of the Month is Winter’s Veil.

Crafted with cranberry, sandalwood, patchouli, and coconut, Winter’s Veil is a quiet, grounding scent — one that feels like still air and softened light. It’s ideal for moments of reflection, rest, and resetting intentions as the year begins.

🧭 Seeking Events & Markets

We’re actively looking for events, markets, and festivals to participate in this year.

We’d love your suggestions. Community connections help guide where our flame travels next.

🕯️ Closing Thoughts

January doesn’t demand reinvention — it invites steadiness.

As you move into the year ahead, may you find the anchors that ground you, the rituals that bring clarity, and the flame that reminds you of your own quiet power.
