As a man who enjoys candles and men’s body products, the collection was created to align with the Claddagh, a traditional Irish symbol that represents love, loyalty, and friendship. While often associated with rings and jewelry, Claddagh values extend to various aspects of life, including principles that are meaningful for men.
The Collection is a tribute to my grandparents because everything good about me is the result of God's love and the Claddagh values they instilled in me and their compassionate never ending love.
These values were prominent and instilled by them as a child in my grandparents' Irish home. As head of our family they instilled these values in me since a child and now as a God fearing man along with Christian principles have transformed my life.
Below are the Claddagh values and how they can be interpreted for men:
Love (Grá):
- In the context of Claddagh values for men, love encompasses not just romantic love but also love for family, friends, and oneself. It emphasizes the importance of expressing affection, compassion, and care in relationships. This value encourages men to be emotionally open, supportive, and nurturing.
Loyalty (Dílseacht):
- Loyalty is a foundational value in the Claddagh symbol. For men, this value suggests staying true to one's commitments, being reliable, and standing by the people you care about. Loyalty involves being there for family and friends in both good times and bad, fostering trust and dependability.
Friendship (Cairdeas):
- Friendship is a vital component of the Claddagh values for men. It encourages men to be genuine, kind, and supportive friends. Building and maintaining strong friendships involves mutual respect, understanding, and camaraderie. It emphasizes the importance of being a good friend and surrounding oneself with positive, uplifting companions.
While enjoying the fragrances of The Claddagh Collection, our hope is that you will connect with the messages behind the fragrances to invest in your personal growth. While I’m proud of my Irish heritage, the Claddagh Collection is for all men. No matter your background, the values and sentiments behind building men up to be the best version of themselves is universal.
Let me know how you plan to incorporate the Claddagh values in your life in the next 30 days.
Regards,
Jason
