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. 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.
