Making your own candles

Needed items:

candle wicking herbs wax crayons candle molds wire rods paraffin beeswax double boiler

Healing candles should be made while the moon is waxing. Burn them during the waning of the moon to decrease fevers, pains and sickness. Melt equal parts of paraffin and beeswax along with crayon shavings in a double boiler over low heat. Add a pinch of powdered healing herbs to the melted wax. Cut wicking to fit the mold. Allow one extra inch of wick above the top of the mold. Attach a nut or screw to the bottom of each wick to act as a weight. Then place the wick in the center of the mold. Slowly pour the wax into the mold and allow it to cool and harden before removing the candle from the mold.
