Origin & Traditional Use

Lailokens Awen candles are hand-poured intention candles made with herbs, oils and symbols for a particular purpose or sabbat. Awen is the Welsh word for the flowing spirit of poetic and divine inspiration. Mabon candles are burned at the autumn equinox, when day and night stand equal before the dark half of the year.

Uses in the Work

For the Autumn Equinox, when light and dark stand equal and begin to tip toward the night. It is used for balance, thanksgiving and descent. Burn it with one black and one white candle to mark the balance, then snuff the white first to welcome the dark half of the year.
