Today the center of the sun is directly over the equator. The solar terminator, the edge between night and day, is almost perfectly perpendicular to the equator - and the duration of light and darkness on this day is equal all over the planet. At Angkor Wat in Cambodia, the rising of the sun aligns exactly with the peak of the Angkor Temple. It's a day of balance, a good moment to take a few deep breaths, look back on the Summer that was and the Autumn that will be. Wishing everyone a peaceful and pleasant Equinox 🙏☀️
It's always exciting and heartwarming when our friends and supporters are inspired to send us beautiful photos of our candles in action. Just look at our Seshet Pyramid pop on that incredible custom knit piece by @klausandalfred - and knowing that our pillars are lighting the scene for @microscopichummingbirds after a long evening of painting beautiful scenes warms our spirits. How do you use your Mithras candle? 🕯🤔
A cool, overcast and slightly drizzly day is the PERFECT day to get a candle and prep for the Fall days ahead. Come out and visit us on the beautiful grounds of the historic Wyck house in GTown! @phillyhoneyfest #beeswaxcandles #candles #pollinators #buylocal
Come on out and support your pollinators - say hello to us at Glenn Foerd and pick up some warm, fragrant, golden lights 🐝🕯
So many hand-poured and hand-dripped beeswax lights are ready and waiting as our season officially launches tonight with Honeyfest @glenfoerd - tomorrow @wyckhouse and Sunday @bartramsgarden ... come pick up some warm waxy flames for the cooler, tenebrous weather ahead! ...shout out to @klausandalfred for the candle lair pics #handmade #beeswax #candles #buylocal #bees #pollinators #light #wax
This year we picked up more local beeswax than ever before - almost 500 pounds to kick-start what we hope will be our busiest season yet! Special thanks to lightbringers @sparhawkian and @i_am_thedoozer for pics and transport logistics 🐝💛🙏💕🕯 come get some of our fragrant, magic lights @phillyhoneyfest next weekend!
The Fall season is almost upon us and we're hard at work in the Mithras Candle Lair forming wick and wax for you to create beautiful, luminous and living flames. We're kicking off the season with @phillyhoneyfest - and can't wait to see y'all there!
Plannin' and scannin' - researchin' and bee lurchin' - schemin' and dreamin' at NYNOW. Thank you @klausandalfred
We here at Mithras think the sun does a fantastic job this time of year - especially in this hemisphere and at this latitude. In fact, this life and lightbringer do SUCH a good job over the Summer that it gives us a chance to slow down a bit and take life in, process and just be. We believe humans have annual rhythms (circannual rhythms... just like hamsters) that we need to honor. Happy Summer Solstice to all of our supporters, customers and friends... and don't worry, we'll be here slinging beautiful waxy flamebringers online all during the Summer season, posting (lazily) from time to time and ready to get busy again once the light starts to wane a bit again in Fall!
Birthday candles coming soon?!? 😉 (Sometimes the Lord of Light gets inspired and needs to make a custom lil' beeswax light for a sweetie's trip around the sun day🍰🕯🎁🎉🤗)
