"In the times that we currently exist, there is a great desire to master the relationship we have with ourself, because it is a mirror of the relationship that we have with God or Spirit."

Candlelight: Illuminating Your Life in More Ways than You Might Imagine

Candles use to be a necessity of life; choices in size, color, and style were rare. Nowadays however there are entire stores dedicated to the creation and sale of these wonderful wax based cylinders. In fact, according to the National Candle Association, retail sales in the United States exceed two billion dollars per year. From traditional tapers to the latest trend of handmade gel candles with stone holders, there truly is a perfect one to meet everyone's needs and a perfect holder.

And just what special need could candlelight fulfill? How about twenty-five tapers burning brightly at your silver anniversary party to symbolize your unending devotion to your spouse. Memorialize a loved one by lighting a tea light in their honor and placing it on your personal altar. Make a floating candlelight centerpiece for your next dinner party. Burn scented handmade gel candles as an aromatherapy treatment to cleanse the air in your hotel room; use quartz or amethyst stone candle holders to provide an additional source of positive energy to the session. Try your hand at using magickal candles to invite a new love into your life. Choose from chakra colored mini tapers to make your meditations more effective and meaningful.

Maybe you're interested in making and/or potentially selling your own handmade tapers or jels. Unsure of whether to use paraffin, beeswax, palm wax, or soy bean wax to make your creations? Can't decide between designing pillars or hand sliced tapers? Candle making kits and classes are popular among crafters. Websites also abound with candle making techniques, tips, supplies, kits, and suggestions for gifts; there you can learn about the history of candle making, find answers to your safety concerns about making and using them, study the meaning associated with various stone candle holders, and follow marketing trends.

Don't wait for the next power outage to burn your favorite scented delight in one of your favorite stone candle holders. Pretend the power is already out and play board games with your family by the light of a few votives. Line the edge of your bathtub with handmade gel candles and soak your cares away while meditating on the flickering flame. Treat yourself and light one tonight. Better yet, light a whole bunch of them.
