About Shy Wolf Candles

The strike of a match. The light of a candle. Scent that slowly rises. Shuffling your favourite deck until the moment is right. The draw of the cards. Dropping the needle on your favorite LP. Sweet ritual. With a name inspired by the duality that lives within us all, we believe the small pause that lighting your candle brings is worth honouring; how a small action brings forth a steady, warm light. With fragrance blends as diverse as the folks who burn them, our candles were made for both quiet, sacred moments alone and cozy gatherings with the ones you love most. We have a lot in common with fire. Our founder Julie wanted to invite others to explore their own passions and memories. To light a fire, draw down the sacred and go within. So she stuck out on her own and began the journey that led to Shy Wolf. She was joined by a fellow firefighter who quickly became her right-hand woman, and not long afterwards they were joined by the rest of our pack. OUR STUDIO Tucked away in the village of Grey Highlands, Ontario, our studio is surrounded by an empire of forest fed by the waters of the Saugeen. Moved by the raw beauty of our surroundings, we hand-pour each candle in the historic building we call home. They’re sustainably crafted with soy wax, cotton wicks, and a custom blend of natural scents inspired by classic rock and the tarot. We invite you to light your favourite candle and retreat into your favourite nook, like a wolf coming home to its den. Read their story
