Complete Book of Baths The Master Book of Candle Burning "How can I burn candles in a manner which will bring me the most satisfaction and consolation?" In order to answer that que stion it is necessary to eliminate all technical, dry and often times torturous historical background. It is necessary to sift and sort every fact, scrutinize every detail,search for the kernel. It is to be hoped that this volume answers that question in a manner which is satisfactory to the reader. It has been necessary, of course, to include some historical data and other anthropological data in order to better illustrate the symbolism involved in modern candle burning as practiced by so many people today. This data has been accumulated from many sources: it has been culled from literally hundreds of books and articles. The modern rituals outlined here are based upon practices which have been described by mediums, spiritual advisors, evangelists, religious interpreters and others who should be in a position to know. It has been the author's desire to interpret and explain the basic symbolism involved in a few typical exercises so that the reader may recognize this symbolism and proceed to develop his own symbolism in accordance with the great beauty and highest ethics of the Art. 5.5 "W x 8.5 "H x 0.0625 "D 64 pages Pages Paperback ABOUT THE AUTHOR(S): By Charmaine Dey Show more
