Beeswax Bleached (Purified)- 55 Pound Bulk Box Note: extra shipping due to box weight & size.

We have received numerous requests from candle makers for bleached beeswax. Apparently our name turns up quite frequently on Internet search engines when you search waxes. We are not proponents of bleached beeswax for en caustic use because although it is less expensive and appears bright white in color it is a much inferior product. Bleached beeswax uses older yellower wax which is whitened through the bleaching process. Bleaching leaves many of the impurities in the wax and also adds unnecessary chemicals to the wax such as phosphoric acid and potassium permanganate to decolorizing these less expensive waxes without actually removing the colorants. Nevertheless many en caustic artists will overlook this fact and work with bleached wax. Candelmakers are accustomed to working with fumes because many candle recipes call for paraffin in their mixtures. Many oil painters can use this wax in their painting mediums to matte their colors. Since we have a source for very high quality bleached wax we decided to offer it to our customers. Please make sure you have adequate ventilation in your studio if you are painting in en caustic.

Candles for Achieving the Wish

 The candle represents the divine power because it is made of four elements: water, air, earth and fire, which is valid for centuries a powerful magical tool.
Most of the ritual comes from pagan times, some of which are performed today. For example, a birthday cake, it is impossible to imagine without a spark, a culmination of the imagination and the desire to blow the flame until the candle goes out.
Few people know that this act is based on three principles of magic: the concentration, will power and visualization, which inevitably lead to the goal. Esotericists claim that the fulfillment of certain objectives sometimes enough to light a candle, but not any candle ...


The magic rules

As a rule, performed magic rituals always use a new candle,because it has used the energy of the previous ceremonies, and could produce the opposite effect. It should not be too large to avoid distracted and weakened concentration.
Esotericists personally advise making candles to be imprinted in her energy of the person performing the ritual, and therefore its magical power amplifiers. When the candle is made, you must perform one more energy ritual: take a candle in hand, ignore,imagine that it enters into the bright light which then begins to radiate.

Before pouring melted wax into the mold, put the wick: some toothpicks or thin sticks and string windings are placed vertically in relation to the opening of the mold so that the free end of the fall down.
Allow to cool and remove from the mold and cut off excess string(wick) on the bottom. The melted wax can add color, essential oils or dried herbs, bits of dried fruit ...

The smell of mint helps women to become mothers, pine attracts money, rose oil gives courage, especially in love, and evokes happiness. Oils can be added when making candles, but also to be applied during magic rituals.
