The Urkraft Candle is a reminder of our primal power, of the deep trust in the flow of life that our grandmothers passed on to us as a source of life for our own roots and inner wisdom. This light is dedicated to all the women who came before us and gave us life. It shines for times of change. For women carrying new life. For all those who need support. This candle is a soul companion for pregnancy and birth, for times of transformation and remembrance.
The Beech tree stands for wisdom and knowledge. Its light-filled canopy allows sun and moon to shine down to its roots. When its golden leaves gently fall to the ground in autumn, covering the earth like a blanket, the delicate Wood Sanicle with its dark green leaves appears beneath. The little forest dweller, with its Latin name “Sanicula” meaning “to heal”, was valued by our ancestors as a healing companion and trusted as a "panacea."
The Mullein rises upright and radiant – a plant full of protective power, dignity, and luminous strength.
Chamomile provides maternal comfort and soothing warmth, while the Rose connects heart and soul in harmony.
The fragrant Sweet Grass spreads its blessing – protecting and lovingly enveloping.
The pure natural oils included are Vetiver and Rose Geranium.

The Great Mother carries the wisdom of all ages within her.
She is the guardian of the natural rhythms that the earth constantly shows us – the cycles of becoming and passing away, of birth and renewal.
In her womb rests the knowledge of our ancestors. Her blessing flows through us and connects us with the forces of nature.
In earlier times, our grandmothers and great-grandmothers were still deeply connected to the rhythms of nature, the moon, and their own cyclical femininity – carried by a silent strength intertwined with a subtle inner wisdom.
This candle is a reminder of our primal power, of the deep trust in the flow of life that our grandmothers passed on to us as a source of life for our own roots and inner wisdom.
And perhaps – if we listen within – we can hear what they whisper to us. Then this silent strength will shine like a luminous path into our lives, blessed with appreciation, gratitude, love, and the feeling of being held.
This light is dedicated to all the women who came before us and gave us life.
It shines for all those who need support to trust their feminine intuition and inner wisdom.
It accompanies us through all times of change – from puberty far beyond menopause.
It is for all women carrying the miracle of new life within them – to feel how deeply and naturally we are integrated into the sacred rhythms of feminine creative power, and to give this new life love and security.
Nourished, held, and strengthened by the power of the Great Mother.
********************************************
The effect of the Allgäuer Heilkräuterkerze (Allgäu Herbal Candle) is similar to a fine smudging ritual. Transformed by fire, the information and vibration of the extracts, essential oils, essences, and tinctures are released, supporting 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 burned. 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.
Burn: All candles in glass tend to flicker due to a chimney effect. If soot deposits occur, you can easily remove them with a damp cloth. To reuse the glass after the burning time, wait until the candle extinguishes by itself and remove the wick holder and any wax residues with hot water. Grease and soot stains can be removed with dish soap or in the dishwasher. Melt wax residues with hot water beforehand: Pour hot (not boiling!) water into the glass – the wax residues will collect on the surface and can be removed as a "lid". The still liquid wax-water mixture should not be poured down the drain!
The burning time of the candles in glass is up to 60 hours – depending on the ambient temperature, wick care, and burning duration at a time. For the wax in the glass to be completely consumed, the candle should always burn until the entire wax pool is liquid and wax residues from the glass sides have melted. You can trim the wick to approx. 5 to 8 mm before lighting and ensure that no crumbs remain in the candle.

Ritual candles give you time for your small daily ritual. Time for the essentials. Take a moment of calm, light the flame, listen within. 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 into the everyday world again :)
