MEDITATION
The experience of dipping candles is interwoven with warmth, the sweet aroma of honey, and the process of presence.
Beeswax is a biological byproduct of a teeny-bop bee gorging on its honey! Beekeepers will collect their wax, and it can be rendered until it is clean and burnable.
Now, that’s a lot of work in addition to tending the bees, so understandably, wax can be unused or discarded. I’m lucky to have some honey-plugs in denver though! Together, we humbly participate in the system of bees, creation, and life force (fire!) itself. I’m always looking for more bee-st friends too!
From dinner to death, birthdays to moon ceremonies - candles are there to work their magic. Hand dipped with care, these candles are a concentration of my love - in flame & liquid gold.
enjoy,

About the candles
-
Always burn candles within sight.
Keep away from pets, flammables, and children.
Taper candles are long-burning and do best on flat surfaces. Avoid drafts and fans to avoid drips.
Allow intertwined/twisted candles to self- extinguish for best results.

Sliding Scale
This whole experiment (interwoven) is about story and connection! Capitalism keeps us down - we know that. So I understand that you may not have the cookies (aka money) to purchase artisanal candles right now, but you can still have candle magic.
The form below is my attempt to hold relationships above all else. I believe my capitalistic-cookies will turn out if I keep taking care of the people and let the people take care of me. More and more, I (we as I see reflected) feel the desire to move outside of ‘money’ entirely. I am open to bartering and have found myself increasingly seeking: handmade clothes, handmade ceramics, healthy potted indoor plants, local dog sitters, classes/skill shares, and garden-grown herbal medicines.
with care,
Jackie
