Light of Freedom 🕯️✨— A Beacon of Hope in the Darkness of History

Fragrance Notes: Aged Oak, Hearthwood, Spiced Vanilla, Jasmine

Deep in the heart of Quincy’s storied past lies a legacy of unwavering bravery—a community that stood against the tide of injustice, offering refuge and hope to those seeking freedom. Light of Freedom is more than a candle; it is a tribute to the fearless abolitionists who risked everything to aid the escape of enslaved men and women along the Underground Railroad.

In the darkness of night, a single candle glowing in a second-story window was more than just a source of light—it was a symbol of sanctuary, a beacon guiding weary travelers toward liberty. Quincy, a city with abolitionist roots as strong as the Mississippi’s current, was home to some of the bravest conductors of the Underground Railroad, including Dr. Richard Eells and Dr. David Nelson. Dr. Eells, a respected physician, risked his reputation and freedom to shelter those escaping bondage, his very home becoming a stop along the journey to the North. Dr. Nelson, a minister and educator, used his voice to advocate for abolition, ensuring that the pursuit of justice was carried forth with unwavering conviction.

This candle honors their sacrifice and the countless others who stood as pillars of hope in the fight for freedom. Its fragrance is a harmonious blend of aged oak and deep amber, grounding the soul in strength and history, while spiced vanilla and flickering hearthwood evoke the warmth of sanctuary. A whisper of night-blooming jasmine lingers in the air, a delicate tribute to those who walked the hidden paths under the cover of night, dreaming of a future unchained.

With each flicker of its flame, Light of Freedom brings to life the spirit of resilience, the echoes of courage, and the unbreakable pursuit of justice. May its glow remind us of the sacrifices made and the path toward a brighter, freer tomorrow.
