FAQ
Questions for the first fire
Support copy for the first La Mother collection.
Are La Mother candles religious objects?
No. La Mother candles are fragrance and design objects created for personal reflection and intentional living. The collection draws inspiration from Tonantzin, nature, and Mexica visual language without claiming ceremonial or religious authority.
Are the rituals required?
No. The ritual suggestions are invitations, not rules. The candles may be enjoyed simply as home fragrance.
Are preorders open?

How should I care for my candle?
Trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch before each burn. Allow the first burn to create an even melt pool. Never leave a burning candle unattended, near children or pets, near drafts, or near flammable items.
