Wizard Candles

Though it’s served for centuries as heating, lighting, and a source of aesthetic comfort, the classic paraffin wax candle has undergone little change.  Candles have existed for thousands of years and were first common in churches dedicated to various deities.  No one is quite sure when the candle was conceived because it is so ancient, but it is believed the earliest candles were created with beeswax and various fats around 3000 BC.  Paraffin wax is a bi-product of petroleum refinement, and comprises a majority of candles in modern times. 

Paraffin candles are great for parties, birthdays, holidays, romantic occasions, or just for their delightful sight and scent on an occasion of your choosing.  The candles symbolize warmth, togetherness, and hope. 

Wizard Candles has a huge assortment of decorative candles, including Celtic candles. Show your pride in your heritage with one of these quality paraffin candles. The Celtic balance candle, combining the scents of rose and patchouli, shows the forces of the masculine and the feminine at work with incredible knotwork detailing in the skirt.

Other choices include Bast (Egyptian cat goddess), obelisks, cubes, gods, goddesses, pentagrams, different pillar shapes, and many more. Any of these beautiful candles are also available wickless for use as statuaries, and special scents can be requested as well.

Introducing the paraffin candle…
I have learned that it really helps to think of a candle as a solid oil lamp. Here’s why…
First they both work on the same principle.
Liquid fuel flows up a porous cloth or fibrous wick by capillary action and is consumed by the flame, which converts the fuel into heat and light energy.
You probably have an oil lamp at home, we have three metal ones on the front patio. So it’s easy to understand how the candle works. The only difference is that the fuel in the candle is solid until the wick is lit and the heat of the flame melts the wax and converts it into liquid fuel.
