*** North *** December 21st ***
The sun has reached its lowest point, the new light is born in the darkest night. It is still and calm in nature, and we can feel the soothing energy of slowing down to quiet the mind and gain clarity in life.
In nature, the resurgence of light is not yet noticeable. It waits, regenerates.

********************************************
The mode of action of the Allgäuer 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 Herbal Candle is not a scented candle in the classic sense. Each candle contains pure, natural essential oils, which also 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 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 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 peace, light the flame, listen within. Hand over your wishes to the candle flame - it stands for the transformative power of fire. Let your wishes gently go 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 upper wax pool has melted to the edge. If the candle ever smokes, it is advisable to trim the wick before lighting (carefully cut off the top end, leaving at least 8 mm).
