Description

Origin & Traditional Use

This is a scented jar candle made for a specific intention, poured into glass so it can burn safely for many hours. Jar candles are used as devotional lights and for workings that need to be held over several days. Yule and winter solstice candles are burned on the longest night to honour the rebirth of the Sun and the turning of the year.

Uses in the Work

For the Winter Solstice, the longest night and the rebirth of the Sun. It is a festival of the light born from darkness, sacred to the Morning Star. Keep it burning through the night of the solstice and greet the sunrise with it still alight. Many burn it alongside a black candle to honor the darkness that births the light.
