@MithrasCandle on Instagram:

Our hearts are bursting with warmth, light and love after such a wonderful Holiday Fair @phillywaldorf last night and today. We were over the moon last night when we discovered we were vending in the Dumbledore Room, basically a wizard's tower, designed by Frank Furness (or so I heard!?) This lounge/library is one of the coolest spots we've ever set up in... great sharing it with @toothofthelion ! If you missed us slinging beeswax beauties, don't fret - we'll be at the @independentmakers.phl.holiday booth at City Hall until January 1st!
Thank you to everyone who participated in our giveaway of The Three Towers! The Halcyon 3, along with the Towers have been added to our website, and you can get the full set for 10% off, plus free shipping with offer code WITCH. These beauties are on their way to @longwayaround_, our lucky west coast winner. Her song pick was @stevienicks - who (along with Fleetwod Mac) seems to be quite a popular candlelit music choice. We have such a great playlist of all of your songs on rotation at the Mithras Lair - thank you for sharing and keep your eyes peeled to our feed for another holiday giveaway announcement in the near future!👀 🕯🙏💕🕯
💕⭐🙏G r a t i t u d e P o s t T i m e🙏⭐💕 . A huge shout out to Pam Grossman of @phantasmaphile ... we're proud to be a supporter of her fantastic @witchwavepod podcast (new episode up now - go listen!) Years ago during our fledgling moments - she reached out from the candlelit shadows of Brooklyn, grabbed us by the robes, and pulled us into this magickal, cosmic journey. She is gracious, brilliant, super supportive and we owe a massive chunk of our followers and exposure to her - so MANY thanks and blessings to Pam and all of our supporters and collaborators - there are so many great things on the horizon as we weave mystery, magick and concept back into this rise of handmade candle culture... . .. ... P.S. her new book, Waking the Witch, is available for preorder on amazon so go check it out! ... .. #candlecult #candleculture #gratitude #witch #wiccan #pagan #beeswax #candles #magick #podcast #handmade #handmadephilly #thefutureishandmade

Currently test burning votives (which means lots of getting to read by candle light) to find the perfect wick. This bedside-table setup includes a beautiful little vase by @worksofhope
One of my favorite things about candlemaking is hearing the stories of how our customers and supporters burn candles - the vessels they use, the daily rituals, meditations or special occasions that see these wax beauties aflame. For example: This past week I was able to catch up with wondrous historian/wizard friend Bill Bolger in his cabin by the river. He lit the scene with one of our tapers in a very special candle stick that came all the way from Ireland on a ship out of Waterford in 1849 during the famine. His ancestors were on board and, having left their farm in Carlow,  were making their way to Canada. The ships were notorious for the conditions and diseases that beset the passengers and many were buried at sea or on Grosse Isle in the Saint Lawrence River below Quebec City. The candle stick is a typical brass piece probably made in England in the late 18th c. He was told that it was given to his great great great grandparents by a woman who was on board as thanks for some kindness rendered during the passage. Bill said that he can only imagine the horror of what had happened: perhaps helping with a seriously sick child, sharing critical food, helping to bury her husband at sea? Whatever it was it must have been serious to warrant such a gift; no one could bring very much and he is sure that the candle stick was a precious possession, having been the only family item that predates the migration.
It's another set of hand-poured Beeswax Votives to test! It takes time, but finding the right wick is key to a quality candle experience.
You can tell Halloween's comin' - the candle spirits are already making things weird and wild in the lair! #keepitweird #pareidolia #beeswaxcandles #beeswax #accidentalface
