Large Earth Mother candle statue, handcrafted from rapeseed wax:
Gaia - Pacha Mama - World Mother - Mother Earth
She carries the globe in her belly, flowers and branches in her hair, sun and moon on her breasts. Our candle statue is not a classic depiction of a goddess, but it is a statue that contains many myths of this world, as well as the longing to keep the connection to nature alive - and the remembrance that we are all part of this, our Mother Earth! Our Mother Earth, who naturally also stands for the female principle, for fertility and intuitive knowledge. A light for life, a light for our connection and the love it takes. Let it shine :)
The depiction of Gaia goes back to the myth of the primordial goddess, which exists in all cultures. The Earth goddess Gaia from Greek antiquity, Pacha Mama from the South American Andes (who, by the way, was not specifically female...), Shakti from Indian mythology, the Mother Earth of the North American indigenous movement - this is the Mother Earth who has transformed into modern times through natural philosophy, neopaganism and new spirituality. A primordial goddess with many faces!

Lichtbringer ritual candles give you time for your small daily ritual. Time for the essential. Take a moment of peace, light the flame, listen within yourself. Hand over your wishes to the candle flame - it stands for the transformative power of fire. Let your wishes go peacefully and enjoy the light before you set off again into the everyday world :)

About rapeseed wax:
Rapeseed wax is the hardened oil of the rapeseed plant, which grows everywhere in Europe. The vegetable wax has similar burning properties to paraffin, but is of vegetable origin (vegan), GMO-free and is produced in Germany. Our candles are poured by hand - minor deviations and irregularities are evidence of this and are a quality feature :) The material occasionally has fine hairline cracks on the surface, which is due to the relatively hard nature of the wax and does not harm the burning process. To improve the melting properties, the hardened rapeseed oil is mixed with a small proportion of special chemical waxes - it does not contain paraffin. This proportion is so small that most rapeseed wax candle manufacturers don't even mention it.
