This candle, with the essence of wood betony, the ancient healing and protective plant, and the power of elder, which accompanies us as a protective and threshold tree in all new beginnings and changes, supports protection and demarcation from external influences.
Mugwort, as the mythologically oldest and strongest protective herb, envelops our aura, supported by, among others, benzoin, storax, and lady's mantle, which bless us and give us a sense of security.

********************************************
The effect of the Allgäuer Heilkräuterkerze (Allgäu Herbal Candle) is similar to a fine smudging. Transformed by 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 Heilkräuterkerze is not a scented candle in the classic sense. Each candle contains pure essential oils, which give the candles an interesting aroma - however, the delicate scent does not intensify when burning. Experience shows that the production of candles that primarily release their scent after lighting is only possible with the use of synthetic substances - the herbal candle is a pure natural product.
Burn: The Allgäuer Heilkräuterkerze is designed so that a wafer-thin edge in the form of a delicate lattice structure remains during burning - this gives the candle a wonderful play of light when burning down. The candle does not drip if it is not exposed to drafts. The delicate lattice is intentional. It is a natural effect of stearin wax when cooling - and a quality criterion :)
The burning time depends on various factors and can be up to 50 hours under optimal conditions (four-hour burning cycles with an equally long break). In practice, under less than 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 calm, light the flame, listen to yourself. Give your wishes to the candle flame - it stands for the transformative power of fire. Let your wishes gently drift away and enjoy the light before you return to the everyday world :)
********************************************
Candles work with the element of fire, never leave them burning unattended and only use fireproof coasters for them. For the first burn, 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 trim the wick before lighting (carefully cut off the top, leaving at least 8 mm).
