'Big Wick Energy' ~ Special Edition Hand-poured Eco Soy Wax Candle

Why you need one of these in your life

As feminists and people who just generally give a sh!t about fairness and justice, sometimes it's hard not to just burn the whole thing to the ground.

Racism. Sexism. Ableism. Climate inaction. The rolling back of reproductive rights. So many goddamn mediocre white cishet men in power. The list goes on (and on and on).

Instead of letting the bastards get us down, the fabul-ass folks from Feminist Candle Co. and dopamine queen CARMEN GET IT! have teamed up to channel our #angrywoman into creating something that can light the way to a more just and equitable world. Something like that anyway, with a little less cheese and a little more Thelma & Louise…

Unveiling: Big Wick Energy ~ our brand new hand-poured artisan eco soy wax candles made from equal parts love and rebellion with the fabulous Feminist Candle Co! 

What are we swinging?

Launched at Finders Keepers Market in Naarm, this bad grrl is already an instant bestseller and we want one in the home of every card carrying feminist in the country. Here’s why she’s flying off the shelves:

• All sizzle, no fizzle – packin’ 40-45 hours of burn time thanks to our high-quality artisan eco soy wax in lilac (because, of course)

• Ain’t no holograph grrl – handpoured into a Lux Holographic jar that glows like Beyoncé, you can use it to store the tears of the patriarchy (or something useful) when you’re done

• The Smell Jar – doin’ Sylvia Plath proud with a whiff of feminist heaven, this grrl has notes of fruity guava, wild mango fruit and juicy papaya amid sugar-coated accents of creamy island coconut and zesty mandarin (sounds delicious enough to eat, but like, don’t)

• Sharing is caring – comes with care instructions to get you that real good burn, along with a Big Wick Energy postcard to pop up on your wall (pump up vibes for dayz)

• Do gooders – $5 from each candle sold goes directly to Women's And Girls' Emergency Centre (WAGEC) to make up for all those gaslighting bastards

A grrl’s got choices

Those who’ve gone before us fought damn hard for us to have choices. That’s why our Big Wick Energy candle comes in your choice of wooden wick (black or white), simply choose at checkout.

Packaging:

Shipping:

You’re human, so we know you love free shipping. But us lil small businesses seriously struggle to compete with the big guys when it comes to postage. We have a flat rate of $9.95 for domestic shipping but more often than not, it costs us more than that because these babies are thicc and we gotta offset that carbon. Sob story over and thank you in advance for being such a star. We promise our packaging is ca-ute and you can read more about our Shipping Policy, if you’re curious.

Availability:

Big Wick Energy candles are available on both our site and Feminist Candle Co.
