The Great Lakes; Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie and Superior-rank among the largest freshwater lakes in the world. Their deep blue waters, bright and captivating in the summer months, become sullen and irritable near mid-November, when the screaming winds blow through...unobstructed from Canada. Picking up speed and determination, the frigid air from the arctic collides with the warm air from the Gulf of Mexico, creating the perfect storm, often referred to by the mighty mariner as: The Witch of November.
The Edmund Fitzgerald, a musical homage by Canadian singer/songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot, pays tribute to one of the most well-known Great Lakes shipwrecks in history, honoring the 29 crew members who perished in the sunken ship.
The etymology of The Witch of November likely stems from the cauldron conditions of the fierce wind and waves.
Our highly-fragranced candle-The Witch of November nods to the looming autumn season, with notes of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, vanilla and brown sugar.
