The Yule Log candle is the perfect addition to your Winter Solstice altar.
The Yule Log Tradition
Decorate a special log with ribbons, holly and ivy, for your table centrepiece. Later on write down your wishes on paper and tuck it into the ribbon and then burn it in your fireplace. Save a piece of coal to start your Yule fire with the following year.
You can also make a Yule log chocolate cake for your feast and why not burn a Yule log in the form of a candle as well? Available in brown or plain beeswax and in full or half log size.

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.
To maintain an even burn - carefully push any unmelted kernels into the wax pool as candle burns down.
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.
Colours may vary slightly as each one is mixed by hand in small batches.
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.
