Today we showed up at the #climatestrike to raise our voices with thousands of others and speak, sing and shout for our future, our children's future and the need for a Green New Deal. I met several scientists at the march who said their climate-related research was being silenced, which is concerning to say the least - however, the huge amount of kids in attendance gave me hope that there might be a social tipping point reached soon. After all, we're leaving them quite a mess to inherit. . I believe that businesses large and small will benefit from taking an active and public role in fighting climate change and supporting Green policy. In honor of this fight, I'm announcing today that Mithras will no longer be using soy wax to make candles (sorry, scented-soy lovers!) I'll delve into it in a future post, but soy wax is manufactured using an EXTREMELY energy and resource intensive multi-stage process that doesn't meet the Mithras mission statement of supporting conservation efforts and fighting climate change. Beeswax is Carbon Neutral AND renewable, y'all! We are inexorably linked to the bees and will fight to keep them not just alive but thriving. Sending love, warmth and light to all beautiful beings on spaceship Earth on this day of protest and hope... ...wick, wax and flame forever! πŸ‘πŸ•―πŸ”₯πŸ•―πŸ‘ #savethebees #loveyourmother #beeswaxforever #beeswaxcandles #climateprotest #strikeforclimate

Sometimes the sunlight meets the beeswax in just the right way and ignites it β˜€οΈπŸ”₯- photons bouncing around and through the golden material. Beeswax is a unique blend of esters, hydrocarbons, fatty acids and about 6% unknown/mystery materials - a beautiful reflection of the environment the bees interact with...πŸπŸ’• . .. ... #artandscience #light #beeswax #handdripped #momentofreflection #beeswaxcandles #candles Scene by @xochkita
We usually only make our votives (seen here cooling with their metal posts) for sale at market events (to keep things exciting), but lately I've been thinking of carrying them online as well. What do y'all think? Would you be into buying a pair of 12 Hour Votives on mithrascandle.com? πŸŒŒπŸ•―πŸ•―πŸŒŒ

PareidoliaΒ (/pΓ¦rΙͺˈdoʊliΙ™/ parr-i-DOH-lee-Ι™) is the tendency to interpret a vague stimulus as something known to the observer, such as seeing shapes in clouds, seeing faces in inanimate objects or abstract patterns, or hearing hidden messages in music... ...sometimes I'm up late pouring tapers and see faces in the wax. πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€πŸ˜€ . ..
