Celebrate The Old Moon in July in the Southern Hemisphere with this realistic Moon shaped candle, made with black and white beeswax to create an aged, ash-like grey surface. Inspired by being reborn from the ashes after surviving a harsh Winter. For this is the last Full Moon before Imbolc, the beginning of Spring. Perfect for your Full Moon rituals. Learn more about this Full Moon on my blog post: The Old Moon in July in the Southern Hemisphere Specifications Dimensions: ~5x6cm Wax: New Zealand beeswax & vintage white beeswax Colour: Grey Scent: Unscented, natural honey Wicks: Cotton, square braided Burn time: ~12hours Candle Instructions The first burn should be for at least 3 hours, so that the melt pool reaches the edges, to avoid tunneling. To increase burn time and minimise flame size - keep wick trimmed to 5mm before each lighting and trim roughly every hour if possible to do safely. Ensure candle is on a level surface in a proper holder, large enough to capture any dripping wax. To extinguish the flame without smoking - dip wick into wax pool using an appropriate utensil and stand it back up for easy relighting. Always burn candle within sight and never leave unattended. Keep away from draughts, flammable objects, children and pets. If you prefer to use it as decor and enjoy it for longer, that is great too! Over time pure beeswax may naturally develop a white dusting called Bloom, this can be polished off with a soft cloth. As each candle is individually hand poured there may be small visible imperfections making each candle unique. Each candle will be made specially for you, which may take a few days so if your order is urgent, please let me know.
