I stock Crystal Journey Candles because their New England workshop has been putting out consistent, hand-crafted votives for years, and this Green Forest and Cedar scent is one of the ones I keep coming back to. It’s made from food-grade refined waxes with cotton and paper wicks, scented with an aroma oil blend that smells like a living forest, not a car air freshener. If you’ve been looking for a candle that grounds you without reaching for the dramatics, this is it.
Cedar is a long-used ritual wood. Across many cultures and folk traditions, it carries associations with purification, protection, and strength. The green color compounds that energy, linking this candle to the earth element, growth, abundance, and healing. Together, the scent profile and color intention make this a natural fit for grounding work, nature magic, prosperity rituals, and any practice where you want to feel rooted in something real. You can also simply burn it because the smell is genuinely good.
Votives are small candles designed to be burned inside a holder, and this one is no exception. Place it in a glass or ceramic votive holder and let the wax liquefy fully for the strongest scent throw. It pairs well on an altar with grounding stones, fresh herbs, or a small dish of soil if you’re doing earth element work.

How to Use the Green Forest and Cedar Votive
Use this votive in three steps for grounding and intention-setting work.
- Set up your holder and light the candle
Place a votive holder on a fireproof surface and set this candle inside it. Light the wick and take a breath. Let the green forest and cedar scent settle around you before you bring your intention forward.
- Set your intention before the flame
State your intention aloud or in writing before the flame. This candle supports grounding, abundance, protection, and healing work. Focus on what you want to draw in or strengthen, not what you want to push away.
- Burn fully and snuff to close
Allow the candle to burn for at least 20 minutes to establish a full melt pool. Snuff rather than blow out if you plan to relight it. Each session builds on the last, so keep your stated intention consistent.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Crystal Journey Candles is a long-running New England maker with a straightforward approach: food-grade waxes, clean cotton and paper wicks, and aroma oil scenting. I carry them because the quality is consistent. They’re not a mass-market candle operation, and that shows in the burn.
Practical note: this is a votive candle, which means it needs a holder. Without one, the wax will pool and spread. A glass holder is fine; just make sure it’s the right size for a standard votive. First burn, give it enough time to develop a full melt pool so you get the complete scent experience.
