La Flor de los Muertos / The Flower of the Dead

For the Aztecs, the cempasúchil was the flower of Mictlantecuhtli, the god of the dead. Its intense golden color and powerful fragrance were said to form a bridge between the world of the living and the realm of ancestors. On November 1st and 2nd, trails of marigold petals are laid from doorsteps to altars so spirits can find their way home.

This large candle honors that ancient tradition in wax — luminous, enduring, and deeply beautiful.

"The marigold opens the path between two worlds."
