Beeswax - "Nectar of the Gods"
Beeswax candles have been used in spiritual rituals since ancient times. Their pure, clean burn symbolizes purity and divinity.
The ancient Egyptians believed that beeswax candles were a symbol of the Sun and used them in their religious ceremonies. The ancient Greeks also used beeswax candles in their rituals, and they were believed to be a symbol of the goddess Artemis. In Christianity, beeswax candles have been used in religious ceremonies for centuries, and they are believed to symbolize the light of God and the purity of the Soul.
In this blog, we are going to discover together the scientific properties and the metaphysical properties of beeswax, as our Ritual Candles are beeswax-based for those properties!
