100% beeswax Height 15 cm x 3.5 cm, 100g Four candles 28 Height 20 cm x 3.5 cm, 160g Four candles 45 in all my colors: altar white - lemon yellow - golden yellow - pink - red - rose - wine red - green dark green - turquoise - olive green - dark blue - light blue - blue - orange - grey - purple/violet Please note: The candles are freshly drawn & ice-chilled. They require a longer storage period (4 months) to develop a patina & be ready for economical burning. I draw the candles as the order comes in. Each one is unique because it's individually drawn from hot wax. The longer they're stored, the more patiently they burn. It's therefore advisable to order Christmas candles early in the year. This way, they acquire the necessary hardness, & they also show it with a beautiful surface (patina). A discerning nose will also detect the pleasant fragrance they emit while burning. Hot-drawn - Ice-cold My candles are created step by step: From the hot bleached beeswax, the cotton wick & my patience. You can also specify your own dimensions (length/thickness). You pay by weight. Please specify the desired format - & I will then put the requested candles up here for you to order. The wick is dipped into the wax, cooled & dipped again until it has reached its thickness. IF THAT IS NOT SUSTAINABILITY My candles are created by hand, not by the push of a button (mechanically). They aren't poured or dipped in batches. They're made from hot beeswax, each individually drawn, & they get their substance from nature (from the busy bee colony). They radiate a serene light, spreading their atmosphere, & they smell pleasant (even when the tree is lit for hours). The cotton wick is cut to length, then dipped into the hot wax & dried with a cloth after a short, cold water bath. The process is then repeated 15 times; this ensures that it has the correct thickness. Staying in ice & snow after pulling. They are then flash frozen. The longer they are stored, the better they burn. Storage should last until a patina forms on the surface. in ancient Sweden, candles were drawn during the 12 Holy Nights (from December 24th to January 6th) for the following year's Christmas. The burning time of my candles (150 minutes) exceeds that of the industrial candle. They burn quietly, economically, & have a pleasant, subtle fragrance. These candles don't leave behind an unpleasant odor. FOR COMPARISON Commercially available paraffin candles are obtained from the so-called lubricating oil cuts from ERDOIL's vacuum distillation. During dewaxing, slack wax is produced as a byproduct, which still contains up to 30% oil. From this slack wax, crude paraffin is extracted by deoiling using various oil separation processes. This is then further refined. The extraction of paraffins also produces paraffin oils as a by-product, which can be further refined into white oils, which serve as high-quality lubricants. The hard & intermediate paraffins are produced from slack wax. This sludge is produced during the dewaxing of engine oils. Wick care: Do not blow out the candle, but dip the wick into the wax & straighten it up again. Trim the wick after it has cooled. Rudolf Steiner (Complete Edition 351, Workers' Lectures, page 147) When people in ancient times made beeswax candles & lit them, they really saw a very strange sacred act in it: We took this wax that is burning from the beehive. It was solid there. When the fire melts this wax & evaporates, the wax enters the same state as it is in our own bodies. & in the burning wax in the candle, people used to sense something that flies up to heaven. what is in their own body. This was something that made them feel particularly devotional and, in turn, led them to regard the bee as a particularly sacred animal, because it prepares something that humans must continually prepare within themselves.
