About the Serenity Scent
Serenity (St. Dymphna) seeks to capture the peaceful refuge she found in her unwavering faith amidst turmoil. A bright, calming top of neroli, tangerine, and bergamot evokes a sense of clarity and hope, mirroring her steadfast spirit. The heart of the fragrance, a pure and delicate orange blossom, symbolizes her innocence and purity, and the peace she offers to those suffering. The grounding base of sea salt, vanilla, and cedar provides a comforting and restorative foundation, reminiscent of the sanctuary she sought in Geel. This candle aims to bring a sense of tranquility and healing to those struggling with mental and emotional distress, invoking St. Dymphna's intercession and offering a moment of serene respite from the storms of the mind.

St. Dymphna, a virgin martyr of the 7th century, stands as a powerful intercessor for those suffering from mental and nervous disorders. Born to a pagan king and a devout Christian mother in Ireland, she consecrated her virginity to Christ. Following her mother's death, her father, driven by grief and mental instability, sought to marry her. Refusing his incestuous advances, she fled to Geel, Belgium, accompanied by her confessor. Tragically, her father pursued her and, in his rage, beheaded her. Her unwavering faith and purity, even in the face of horrific violence, have made her a symbol of hope and healing for those afflicted with mental illness, and her shrine in Geel remains a place of pilgrimage and solace.
