Description: My family has a tradition of burning a candle on Christmas eve and letting it burn out on it's own for good luck. Evey year, it gets harder to find them, and recently I realized that most of what we have been burning is only scented candles, so I decided to make them myself. This auction is for 2 candles. These are hand made 10 inch tapers. 2/3 bayberry way 1/3 beeswax. It has to be mixed otherwise the Bayberry wax is too brittle itself. You know you could use some good luck. Did you know it takes 15 lbs of bayberries to make 1 lb of wax. They make great gifts $12.00 each or 2 for $22.00 The tradition comes from colonial times when most candle were made from animal fat that smelled awful. They saved the wax from the bayberries that the boiled for special occasions. There is an old poem that references this colonial tradition: This Bayberry candle comes from a friend, so on Christmas Eve burn it down to the end - for a Bayberry candle burned to the socket will bring joy to the heart and gold to the pocket.
