Matches

The first step of every ritual.

Before the candle, before the incense, before the pause — there’s the strike of a match. It’s the smallest part of the ritual, and the one that begins it.

These are made in England by Archivist Gallery: letterpress-printed boxes, gold foil, matchsticks long enough to reach the wick of a deep candle without rushing. Tarot keepsakes, celestial designs, pocket-sized matchbooks with space to write To and From.

Keep one beside your candles. Give one to someone who could use a slower evening.
