Incantation

from $18.00

100% Soy Candle. Phthalate-free. Handcrafted in Washington, DC.

12 oz Incantation Candle: Notes of vanilla, orchid rose and hardwoods will transport you to Natchez. Best enjoyed while with Saida Agostini’s chapbook STUNT, this candle will enhance your space with its floral woody tones.

STUNT imagines scenes from the near-mythical life of Nellie Jackson. Born in 1902, Miss Nellie ran a brothel in Natchez, Mississippi for sixty years until her death in 1990. A freedom fighter and entrepreneur who spied on the KKK and supported civil rights activists, Nellie Jackson is a legend that troubles our notions of Black narratives and histories. By turns jubilant, sensual and violent, STUNT imagines Nellie as a woman who revels in her Blackness, power and creation.
