SAGE the Caregiver

Down the hall from the Quiet Room

Light a Candle

A little light for somebody carrying a lot.

For a caregiver. For somebody you love, somebody you miss, somebody going through it. For yourself. Scroll, and walk up to the table.

Take one home

At the table

The ones already burning

Touch a flame to see who it is for. The dark ones are waiting.

Scroll to walk in

Sometimes you want to do something small that still means something.

Light a Candle is a simple way to leave a little light. For a caregiver. For somebody you love, somebody you miss, somebody going through it. For yourself.

You do not need the perfect words. You do not need a long story. Leave a name if you have one, leave a few words if they come, or light it and let that be enough.

Your candle joins the rest of them on the table, and it burns for seven days. That is the whole point of it: somebody, on purpose, was thought about.


From five dollars

How many candles would you like to light?

Secure checkout through Payhip. You pay there, then come straight back here to say your words.

Plainly: the virtual candle is symbolic. Nothing is mailed to you for it. What you get is a flame on this table with your words under it, and from every candle order, one dollar goes toward a caregiver kit for somebody on the list. SAGE is not a charity; this is pay it forward.

How your candle gets its words

  1. Light it here first. Say who it is for and what it should hold.
  2. Pay on Payhip. A secure checkout. SAGE never sees your card.
  3. Come straight back. Payhip returns you to a SAGE page with a short form. Your words are already copied; paste them in.
  4. Sage reads it. By hand, usually within a few days. Then it burns on this table, for seven days, for everyone who walks in after you.

Want to take the light home?

Have a candle dressed for you

Sometimes clicking a flame is enough. Sometimes you want something you can actually bring into your own space.

SAGE dressed candles are real seven day glass candles, prepared by hand and mailed to you. Each one is worked individually:

  • anointed
  • dressed with herbs and intentional ingredients
  • prepared around the intention you give us
  • spoken over
  • sealed
  • packaged and mailed to you

This is not a mass produced candle pulled off a shelf. Yours is worked for your intention, and you tell us what you are carrying.

  • Protection
  • Peace
  • Strength
  • Healing
  • Grief
  • Love
  • Clarity
  • Rest
  • Courage
  • A new beginning
  • Someone you love
  • Or something you do not have the words for yet

You do not have to write a perfect intention. Tell us what is happening, in your own words. We take it from there.

Your candle and the water

One light with you. One light here.

The day your candle is prepared, a light goes on the water on this page carrying the same name. So when yours arrives and you light it in your own kitchen, there is already a flame burning here for the same thing.

Same intention, two places.

How it works

  1. Choose your candleOrder your dressed seven day candle.
  2. Tell us the intentionYou get space at checkout to say who or what it is for.
  3. We prepare it by handDressed, anointed, worked, sealed and packaged for your intention specifically.
  4. A light goes on the waterA candle is lit here for the same thing, the day yours is worked.
  5. Your candle comes homeIt is mailed to you so you can carry the intention on in your own space.

A note about the work

A dressed candle is a spiritual and reflective practice. It is not medical treatment, mental health treatment, legal service, financial service, or a guarantee of any particular outcome.

The intention matters. The ritual matters. What happens next still belongs to life.

A real candle. Prepared by hand. Worked for your intention. Mailed to your door.

So you know the difference

Three ways to leave something

These do different jobs, and none of them replaces another.
