David Bowie Glass Votive Candle // Lgbtq Altar

David Bowie glass votive altar candle from Flaming Idols. Whether you're a recovering Catholic, a secular Jew, a satanist, a pagan, a witch - or some combination! - this altar candle will fill your queer spiritual needs. in the conservative climate of the 70s & 80s, Bowie was a glittering star of androgyny & gender non-conformity who inspired many young queers. He left a complex legacy that asks us to hold many versions of him: Ziggy Stardust, Alladin Sane, Major Tom, the Bowie who said he was gay in 1972 & said he was straight in 1983. The Bowie who took advantage of teenage girls when he was in his twenties & the Bowie who called out MTV's institutional racism in his thirties. He's gone now, but don't be too sad. As Bowie said at his 50th birthday concert, I don't know where I'm going from here, but I promise it won't be boring. You might light this candle & look to Bowie for: courage to share your gender non-conformity, reinvention of identity, connecting with outer space Candle is hand-poured with soy wax & burns for approximately 10 hours. Glass votives are 2.5in high & 2in wide at the base. Each votive is affixed with an opaque sticker with an image of a person & on the opposite side, a translucent sticker with biographical information about the person. Stickers are water-resistant.
