Horsman's Hearth

Horsman's Hearth Specializing in the cyanotype printing process and the traditional craft of hand-dipped candles.

All Hearthside Rituals products are sold as curios and although can be very helpful when channeling energy to effect change, they are not a substitute for professional medical care. If the later is something that you feel that you need, don't stay quiet; talk about what you need help with and reach out to a friend, someone else close to you or a medical professional.

A few days late, but altar refreshed, and candles lit for my yuletide ritual.

Hoping this transitional time is soft for all those who observe. This new year will bring about the Hearth's fifth birthday.

Thank you to all who've supported since the beginning; in whatever way you have, and especially to those who make space for my candles in your budget. This upcoming milestone wouldn't feel so creatively affirming without you.

There is so much folklore attached to the Winter Solstice is hard to share it in your own words without sounding too preachy.

But what I will say is this; use this transitional time as the impetus behind this new year of becoming. Set that baggage down; you've been carrying it for far too long. Cozy in and think not of how much there is unfinished, or yet to do, but focus on how much you've already achieved; I'll belt there is a great amount to celebrate.

From this hearth to yours may the Solstice be as bright as all of our potential.

THANK YOU market goers!

✨️Bayberry Candles ✨️

Bay is THE protection and abundance herb for home and personal use. Gifted during Yule especially heightens that intention as you're traditionally nesting down for the cold dark months of the year.

Apologies but there is an extremely limited supply this time around. Available at in-person markets only and limited per customer!

In total there will be 3 bundles of the above (1 x candle holder, 3 x bayberry tapers) and handful of single tapers after that.

Wax extracted from coastal Cape Breton bayberries; harvested with the help of the witches if , and mixed with our standard beeswax in elegant twist form.

Mullein Torches or Hag Torches are some of my favourite things to make. Always an outdoor-only candle; there is truly nothing like lighting one in the snow for the Winter Solstice.

Photo one is of some recently-gathered stocks which will eventually be made into torches for gifts. However, it begs the question of if you all would like to see mullein torches added to my offerings for 2026?

Let me know in the comments.

✨️ Real craft shows hours are those spent messing around with table layouts! As we go into the super busy season take a moment to be proud of not only making everything on your table but figuring out a way to bring it all together visually. That is hard work!

Here's .house.studio working on her booth layout for her run at the starting this weekend!

Catch me at and in the coming weeks. Maybe this is my cue to work on my own table display. 😅

September Bayberry Harvest - It's been some time since I made time to do this. There is no substitute for spending the Autumnal Equinox with some of your best friends and literally taking a walk in the woods.

Technique down I'd say.

Just a reminder that for now rolled beeswax candles will not be available online and can only be found at in-person markets.

If you'd like to place a special order send me a quick message and we'll get the conversation started.

✨️ TAPERS ✨️
These were made in the wintertime and for a while I was apprehensive about sharing because they looked a lot different (to me) than my usual style of dipped.

And you know, they are different but you know what they still are? Candles. Just because they aren't exactly like the batch that came before doesn't make them a waste.

Not that I truly thought that, but sometimes small businesses obsessively curate their image too much that they forget to find the beauty in the making.

TDLR - not everything has to be perfect to be usable; embrace the wabi sabi.

Your Hearth is always wherever you choose to let it glow. Finally getting around to refreshing the altar. A wild spring am I right?

Just a note to wish everyone a belated Solstice and blessed Litha. Hoping to see everyone in the fall and winter months at markets.

Thank you for your continued support!

Horsman’s Hearth is 4!

Somewhere during the blur of Spring this business celebrated its fourth birthday.

Keeping a small business going amid the constant rising cost of raw materials is tough; it's never been an easy task. But you know what is pretty cool?

✨️ Still being utterly enchanted by beeswax and how it burns; its quiet comfort, so present in the warm glow of a candle flame.

✨️ That feeling you get when someone vibes so much with your work. Validation for the time spent contemplating if what you're doing even matters.

✨️ Putting aside what you thought was a messed-up batch then going back some weeks later and realizing they've actually got just the rustic charm you were missing.

✨️ You for continuing to read this far. You who visit me at markets and support me in other ways. I'd have given up long ago if you weren't all such a bunch of genuinely beautiful humans.

Here's to another great turn around the sun for the Hearth. Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoy what I get up to this year; there are some beautiful things in store. 🕯

🕯 THE PILLAR TRIO

You're familiar with the mini and the original tall; both among the top three most popular candles last year. Now meet the new addition; same height but just a little wider.

Perfect as a centerpiece or as a canvas to showcase your candle-carving skills. I'm looking at you . 🖤

New size not yet available on the website, but coming soon. 😉
