Welcome to Middlewood.

A place to gather, to learn, and to remember that life isn't meant to be lived entirely by the clock.

Every time you light a candle, join a workshop, or share a meal around the table, it's an invitation to slow down. To breathe. To reconnect with nature, with the people around you, and with the simple things that have always mattered.

Because at Middlewood, you don't just buy a product.

You create a moment.

Protection Candle — Black Tourmaline & Whiskywood Soy Candle NZ

Protection Candle — Black Tourmaline & Whiskywood Soy Candle NZ
from $27.00

Some spaces need clearing. Some days leave a residue - other people's stress, difficult conversations, the low hum of anxiety that lingers even after the thing causing it has passed. This candle is for those moments.

Hand-poured on our homestead in Kiwitea, the Protection Candle is built around whiskywood — deep, smoky, and resinous in a way that immediately changes the feeling of a room. It's not a soft scent. It's a grounding one, the kind that makes you feel like the walls are a little thicker and the outside world a little further away. Rosemary cuts through with something sharper and cleaner, and together they create something that smells less like a candle and more like a ritual. Paired with black tourmaline — the stone most associated with energetic protection, shielding, and the release of tension held in the body — it's made for the moments when you need to feel safe in your own space.

Light it after a difficult day you need to leave behind. Light it when your home needs resetting after conflict or chaos. Light it before something that requires you to feel solid and unshakeable.

Made with:

  • Coconut soy wax blend — clean-burning, no nasties

  • Black tourmaline crystal included in every candle — the protection stone, known for grounding energy and creating a sense of energetic safety

  • Deep whiskywood and rosemary fragrance — smoky, resinous, and genuinely anchoring

  • Hand-poured in small batches by Erana at Middlewood Homestead, Kiwitea NZ

Available in 150ml and 300ml.

Please Note: Our Intentions candles contain genuine crystals and botanicals. As the candle burns, crystals may become exposed or move within the wax. If a crystal moves near the wick, allow the candle to cool and carefully remove it before relighting.
