At Wicked Obscura, our candles are more than just sources of light and fragrance—they’re symbols of connection, compassion, and giving back. Each of our special candles represents a cause near and dear to our hearts, and through your support, they’re helping to make a real difference in the Covington, KY community. Join us as we explore the stories behind our three charitable candles and the incredible local nonprofits they support.

Athena: Strength + Wisdom

SCENT NOTES: Bergamot, Neroli, Lavender
Atmospheric Benefits: Strength + Wisdom

Channel the grace and power of the Greek goddess Athena with this beautifully balanced candle. Infused with invigorating bergamot, soothing neroli, and calming lavender, it’s a tribute to inner strength and clarity.

But the Athena candle is more than just a sensory experience. With every purchase, 15% of proceeds go directly to the Thrive Empowerment Center in Covington, KY. This remarkable organization provides vital support for survivors of domestic violence through their "Sponsor a Warrior" initiative. Funds help ensure ongoing training and resources for women in need, empowering them to reclaim their lives.

When you light the Athena candle, you’re not only brightening your space but also helping survivors find strength and wisdom within their journeys.

Rainbow Rhapsody: Awareness + Learning

SCENT NOTES: Dahlia, Sandalwood, Amber
Atmospheric Benefits: Awareness + Learning

Celebrate love and inclusivity with our Rainbow Rhapsody Pride-Themed Soy Candle. A vibrant blend of dahlia, sandalwood, and amber creates a warm, inviting ambiance that’s as unique as the community it supports.

15% of proceeds from this candle go to the NKY Pride Center, an organization dedicated to LGBTQ+ equity and inclusion in Northern Kentucky. From hosting the annual NKY Pride Parade and PrideFest to running educational programs and community awards, the NKY Pride Center is a beacon of hope and progress.

By choosing Rainbow Rhapsody, you’re helping to advance LGBTQ+ rights and fostering a more inclusive world.

Mystic Drifter: Meditation + Manifestation

SCENT NOTES: Patchouli, Jasmine, Guaiac Wood
Atmospheric Benefits: Meditation + Manifestation

The Mystic Drifter Patchouli & Jasmine Soy Candle is more than a candle; it’s a tribute to one of our founders, Courtney Perry. Courtney’s adventurous spirit, creativity, and kindness are reflected in the captivating blend of earthy patchouli and floral jasmine, creating a scent that transports you to a world of serenity and wonder.

15% of sales from Mystic Drifter are donated to Purrfect Day Café, a cherished cat café in Covington that Courtney adored. She dedicated her time to volunteering there, and supporting this cause continues her legacy of compassion and love for animals. Each Mystic Drifter candle also includes a small touch of magic—a surprise of carnelian crystals and hyssop—to remind you of the light Courtney brought to the world.

Lighting a Mystic Drifter candle not only brings warmth and peace to your space but also helps care for the animals Courtney loved so deeply.
