Spill the Tea with Queer Ancestors Ritual Candle

Our Spill the Tea ritual candle honors the Queer Ancestors and helps us connect with them. Made with high quality coconut-soy wax, these candles feature a hand-blended scent created in honor of and guided by the queer ancestors. These candles are inspired by American queer ancestors and many years of tradition in gay bars and drag balls—they are scented with lavender, lime, and tobacco in their honor. Lavender is for the lavender menace and the sweet softness of queer joy. Lime is for the bright, sour note that brings an extra queer flair to lavender’s sweetness, a touch of sour shade thrown, and the lime wedge on the side of a drink glass. Tobacco is both a traditional offering to the Dead, included to feed the ancestors, and the haze of a gay/leather bar filled with cigarette smoke. Each is lovingly topped with lavender as a final offering to the ancestorsThese candles are made in vintage tea cups; the vintage nature and age of the cups helps to call in death energy to fuel connectio
