*** Twelve Nights *** December 25th to January 6th ***
The Twelve Nights begin on December 25th and end on January 6th, an important Perchten Day.
The Twelve Nights are Otherworld time - time between worlds - magical time. Time for boundary crossings.
By lighting the Twelve Nights candle, with Twelve Nights incense, we have protection, but also the opportunity to open the doors to the Otherworld, to communicate with it, to connect with it.
Themes: Time for gratitude, reflection, letting go, saying goodbye. Divination, visualization, inviting new things. The twelve nights are a progressive process!
Plants included in the Twelve Nights candle: mistletoe, spruce, elder, mugwort, sage, juniper.

********************************************
The effect of the Allgäuer Herbal Candle is similar to a fine smudging. Transformed by the fire, the information and vibration of the extracts, essential oils, essences and tinctures are released and support our own spiritual intentions and mental aspirations.
The Allgäuer Herbal Candle is not a classic scented candle. Each candle contains pure essential oils, which also give the candles an interesting aroma - however, the fine scent does not intensify when burning. Experience shows that the production of candles that primarily release their scent after lighting is only possible through the use of synthetic substances - the herbal candle is a pure natural product.
Burning: The Allgäuer Herbal Candle is designed so that a wafer-thin edge in the form of a delicate lattice structure remains when burning - this gives the candle a wonderful play of light when it burns down. The candle does not drip if it is not exposed to drafts. The delicate lattice is intentional. It is a natural effect of the stearin wax when cooling - and a quality criterion :)
The burn time depends on various factors and can be up to 50 hours with optimal conditions (four-hour burning cycles with an equally long break). In practice, with not entirely optimal conditions, a herbal candle burns for an average of about 40 hours.
********************************************
Ritual candles give you time for your small daily ritual. Time for the essentials. Take a moment of quiet, light the flame, listen within. Entrust your wishes to the candle flame - it stands for the transformative power of fire. Let your wishes gently depart and enjoy the light before you set off again into the everyday world :)
********************************************
Candles work with the element of fire, never leave them burning unattended and only use fireproof bases for them. For initial burning, it is best to let the candle burn until the top wax pool has melted all the way to the edge. If the candle ever smokes, it is advisable to shorten the wick before lighting (carefully trim the top, leaving at least 8 mm).
