Night 12 walks softly.
The Candle-Keeper is no beast, no clawed shadow, no winter terror.
It is a quiet presence. A guardian made of lantern-glow and long memory.
When the night grows too heavy, the Candle-Keeper appears with a single light — not to banish the dark, but to keep you company inside it.
It is gentleness.
It is endurance.
It is the hush before dawn.
Tonight’s Tale:
Stories say the Candle-Keeper’s lantern holds forgotten moments, the ones you needed once, the ones you’ll need again.
Travelers swore that following its glow didn’t lead them out of the forest…
but it helped them keep walking.
In winter, that is its own kind of magic.
Not escape.
But guidance.
The Candle-Keeper is the reminder that small lights matter.
Even now. Especially now.
Rustic Candle Lantern Décor
A perfect companion for the Candle-Keeper, this rustic lantern décor brings warm, steady light to any winter corner.
The pierced metal crown creates soft shadows that dance like old stories, while the jute rope handle adds that weathered, traveled feel.
Set a flameless candle inside to create quiet glow on a bookshelf, table, or altar space.
This isn’t just décor.
It’s atmosphere.
A little warmth to keep beside you in the long night.
The final gathering waits by candlelight.
