Candles remain an important part of our spiritual practice and witchcraft. Their use allows us to perform sorcery indoors instead of a ritual bonfire that would accompany many outdoor magical workings. When ancient tablets and medieval grimoires speak of “wax,” they are referring to beeswax. There is something about it that stirs our ancient souls. When burned, beeswax candles burn clean and bright and have a light, pleasant scent of honey. Slavic peoples believed that the honey aroma has a strong healing effect – strengthening the soul and immunising the body, protecting people. Beeswax candles are used in traditional folk witchcraft making them perfect for candle magick as they carry a connection to Nature and its Elements. They may be rolled in ritual oil and/or milled herbs, or both. Magickally speaking, all stinging insects are considered creatures of Mars. They are warrior spirits. They travel in armies and are willing to die to protect the nest. Bees have a sacred association with the Mother Goddess. Bees are matriarchal, and the products they make are sweet and nourishing. It is not for nothing that honey has been called the “food of the gods.” Images of a bee goddess have been found in ancient art in the Near East and Aegean regions. The title “Melissa” means Queen Bee, and was at various times applied to Cybele, Aphrodite, Demeter, and Artemis. Her priestesses were known as “melissae” or “meliae” (honey-nymphs). This candle is 100% local, extracted with love and care from our local beehives in the Latrobe Valley and hand poured.
WHY BEESWAX?
Beeswax candles offer a range of benefits that set them apart from other types of candles, such as those made from paraffin or soy.
Here are some key advantages of beeswax candles:
Clean and Natural Burning: Beeswax is a natural substance produced by honeybees, and when burned, it releases compounds that are not harmful to humans. Unlike paraffin candles, which can release toxins and pollutants when burned, beeswax candles burn cleanly and do not emit harmful substances into the air.
Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic: Beeswax is a natural and renewable resource, making it a healthier choice for individuals with allergies or sensitivities. The candles are free from the carcinogens and other toxins often found in paraffin candles, which can cause respiratory irritation in some people.
Natural Scent: Beeswax candles have a subtle, sweet, and natural honey-like fragrance. This natural scent is much more pleasant than the artificial fragrances often added to other types of candles. The gentle aroma can create a warm and inviting atmosphere without overpowering the senses.
Longer Burn Time: Beeswax candles have a longer burn time compared to other types of candles. They burn at a higher temperature and slower rate, making them more cost-effective in the long run. This longer burn time also means less frequent replacement, contributing to reduced waste.
Negative Ion Emission: When beeswax candles burn, they release negative ions into the air. Negative ions can help neutralize pollutants, allergens, and other particles, contributing to improved indoor air quality. This is in contrast to paraffin candles, which release mainly positive ions.
Environmentally Friendly: Beeswax is a renewable resource, and its production does not involve the use of harsh chemicals. Supporting the use of beeswax candles encourages sustainable beekeeping practices and contributes to the well-being of honeybee populations, which play a crucial role in pollination and ecosystem health.
Dripless and Smokeless: Beeswax candles have a higher melting point than other waxes, such as paraffin, which means they are less likely to drip and produce less smoke. This can contribute to a cleaner and safer burning experience.
Aesthetically Pleasing: Beeswax candles have a natural golden color that adds a warm and elegant touch to any setting. Their aesthetic appeal makes them a popular choice for decorative purposes, weddings, and special occasions.In summary, the benefits of beeswax candles extend beyond their natural and clean burning properties. They contribute to a healthier indoor environment, support sustainable practices, and provide an aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting alternative to other types of candles.
