THE TORCH - The ATHAME of Candles

כ״א בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 22

Mysteries of THE TORCH -

"Only the Torch is found by itself ..." [Klach Pischey Chochmah 55 (138 Openings of Wisdom)]

*****





My original poem, THE TORCH, written over a decade ago, some time following my initiation into the Mysteries:

when facts tell lies and confusion reigns
when knowledge and ignorance with futility dance
when hope is dying and faith is failing
truth remains

when pain is endless and pleasure empty
when will lies heavy like stone and clarity is obscured
when wisdom reeks and reason flees
truth remains

when the heart staggers broken
with shattered strength and love drowns lost in the abyss
truth remains

when darkness reverberates blindly
and eternity is filled with hell
truth remains

when life is crushing and all is torn, when hiding cannot conceal
and wretching waters burn the naked dust
truth remains

when the pause is pregnant like a rock of hate against us
truth remains

*****

"The timeless Mystery (which includes the dark stillness of Fate and the power of motion) is just that - and it acts as an Otherworldly, perpetual 'cause' to what we experience as 'this world' or 'temporality,' or 'measurable cause and effect.' The Otherworld, the dark void of the Underworld, doesn't begin or end, it exists every moment, acting as the perpetual 'cause' upholding every manifest thing ... There is a 'child' born of the Dark Mystery of Fate and motion - and this child is the world itself, or manifestation; it is indestructible life; it is all of us, and everything. This 'child' is the Horn Child of the Craft, the child of the Mystery night, Iakkos, or the Mabon of Britain. This is the child of Truth and Beauty." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

*****

SHE walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meets in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellow'd to that tender light
Which Heaven to gaudy day denies.
[Lord Byron, She Walks in Beauty Like the Night]

*****

"You experience yourself again, but not a self you ever guessed or knew was 'you.' ... A person who has gone through this experience is changed forever; they have become (as our northern Ancestors said) a Wyrd-worker. They have become a Witch, a Pagan mystic whose awakening was not possible without the older worldview of wonder and Mystery." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

*****

Handcrafted under the gibbous Moon of Might, THE TORCH is an awesome tapered black pillar candle to light up the Dark Night with Truth and Beauty. Intensely scented with Dragon's Blood resin oil, THE TORCH is adorned with a silver pewter Pentacled Athame charm hung on black tulle.

Measures 1.25" x 2.5" x 15" - a monumental candle for a monumental declaration of mystical magic.

DESIRE Sex Magic Soy Pillar Candle, Bold Red and Daring Black Magically Charged with Dragon's Blood, Amber, Patchouli and Garnet Gemstone

כ״א בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 22

"I am the dark breaking dawn of all desire ... [Song of Songs 1:5]



There are three interwoven degrees of practical aphrodisia. Sex magic places the sex act upon an idealistic plane, encouraging the practice of alphaism (magical chastity including no emotions or fantasies about sex) between acts of sexual congress. Additionally, experiences of ardent union without climax, and experiences of the ardent focused act of union with climax comprise the second and third degrees of magical love. Physical erotic acts, sexual interest and sexual imagination are reserved exclusively for sacred acts of magical transformation. [For more information see "The Magical and Ritual Use of Aphrodisiacs," Richard Alan Miller.]

During those sacred times when sex is magic, dare to power it up with dramatically bold DESIRE. Handcrafted during the Moon of Might, DESIRE is made with premium certified kosher soy wax intensely scented with Dragon's Blood resin oil, Patchouli essential oil and Amber. A genuine Red Garnet gemstone nugget charges DESIRE magically with vitality, sexual potency and lifeforce.

Adorned with a silver pewter Pentacle hung on black ribbon.

Measures 2 x 3 inches.

Comes beautifully packaged with a small surprise gift included.

DARK GODDESS Mystic Witch's Altar Ladder / Silk Sari Handfasting Cord

כ״א בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 22

Mysterious. Hauntingly lovely. A gift of the Dark Goddess.

"All gifts of the Gods or spirits are gateways to a mystical realization, no matter how mundane we may have come to think of them; all cultural features like crafts, blacksmithing, technologies and even systems of scientific thinking and laws, are disguised forms of Mysticism, that lead people to understand the truth behind them towards realization." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

"and She came to Solomon with gifts, and She saw all of the Wisdom of Solomon ... And king Solomon gave to the [dark] queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which Solomon gave her of his royal bounty." [I Kings 10]

"I am the dark breaking dawn of all desire ... [Song of Songs 1:5]

"Our ancestors were very wise; they knew secrets to reality and about reality that we can still access today, but only when we understand that we need our Ancestors and their legacy." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]



Handcrafted under the gibbous Moon of Might, DARK GODDESS is made with handmade bold sapphire and purple silk sari ribbon, witchy black yarn and black satiny ribbon. This enchanting tool of the Craft is adorned with silver pewter pentacle, star of David hexagram and Celtic Knot charms, nine (the number of the witch's sacred circle) handmade jet black glass beads and twenty-two (the number of magical letters in the Hebrew alphabet) knots.



The interwoven pentacle is a powerful protective pantheistic symbol of the Old Ways, of Witchcraft.

The interwoven hexagram is a powerful unitive symbol of the Old Ways, of Mysticism.

Together, the pentacle and the hexagram symbolize the joining of two magical realities in a Blue Thread of Remembrance and Memory.

The Celtic Knot symbolizes the journey of Being as an eternal Thread of Destiny ever weaving throughout eons of time and timelessness.

"The culmination of Fate ... for those mortals who will go on to becomes Witches, or Mystics, and who will attempt to unite the soul to the spirit while alive - those who will attempt to cross the boundaries between the seen and the unseen, the living and the dead, while still alive, the experience and Fate of death can be transformed completely; the spirit/soul/body experience can fulfill what Fate is driving it to fulfill, here and now." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

Measures 66 inches in length. Sixty-six is the number of the mystical Year of the Jubilee (יובל), the fiftieth sabbatical year - a year of sustained benevolence and a fruitful time for the mystical ascension of consciousness to a sustained higher state of awareness.

RED THREAD Witch's Altar Ladder / Silk Sari Handfasting Cord

י״ט בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 20

"The idea of a 'mystical gene' has a basis in a very subtle reality - but it is not a physical genetic bit of material. There is a thread of Fate - the 'thread' here referring to a particular dynamic aspect of reality itself - that gives rise to what we call 'mystical' occurrences or propensities to mystical activity within people who go on to express it in their life. This 'Red Thread' of Fate is woven into the tapestry of humanity, and the Land itself." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

"The Woman of Valor clothes her family in red." [Proverbs 31:21]

"The Craft of the Wise is about joining together two realities, using the medium of the conscious human mind and body; it is about bringing together what is seen, with what is unseen. It is about Wholeness. In that wholeness is power and Wisdom ... There is no peace or true and lasting happiness without Wisdom." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

"The Woman of Valor opens her mouth with Wisdom. [Proverbs 31:26]



RED THREAD measures 73 inches (the gematria-numerology of the magical Hebrew word חכמה - Chochmah, Wisdom).



Created in sacred space under the gibbous Moon of Might during the planetary hour of Jupiter, mystically magical RED THREAD is an extraordinarily beautiful witch's altar ladder and handfasting cord.



Handcrafted with Ancient Red Silk Sari ribbon, wildly witchy black yarn, red satiny ribbon, 9 handmade jet black round glass beads (12mm diameter), 22 knots, a Pewter interwoven pentacle charm and an interwoven Pewter Hexagram Star of David.

The interwoven pentacle is a powerful protective pantheistic symbol of the Old Ways, of Witchcraft.

The interwoven hexagram is a powerful unitive symbol of the Old Ways, of Mysticism.

Together, the pentacle and the hexagram symbolize the joining of two magical realities in the Red Thread of Fate.

Nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle.

Like the number of knots in RED THREAD, there are 22 letters in the magical Hebrew alphabet.

WISDOM of the OLD WAYS Witch's Altar Ladder / Silk Sari Handfasting Cord

י״ט בתשרי תשע"א

"The Craft of the Wise is about joining together two realities, using the medium of the conscious human mind and body; it is about bringing together what is seen, with what is unseen. It is about Wholeness. In that wholeness is power and Wisdom ... There is no peace or true and lasting happiness without Wisdom." [Robin Artisson, The Witching Way of the Hollow Hill]

"The Woman of Valor opens her mouth with Wisdom. [Proverbs 31:26]

WISDOM of the OLD WAYS
measures 73 inches (the gematria-numerology of the magical Hebrew word חכמה - Chochmah, Wisdom).



Created in sacred space under the gibbous Moon of Might, mystically magical WISDOM of the OLD WAYS is an extraordinarily beautiful witch's altar ladder and/or handfasting cord.



Handcrafted with rare dark and richly mysterious Silk Sari ribbon (made from strips of cut silk sari fabric exquisitely laced throughout with deep burgundy, royal blues and other dark colors), handspun Midnight Twig Racka yarn (featuring the colors of Nature ranging from dark browns through rusty tones to true black, even having some strands of white), black satiny ribbon, 3 genuine Amber gemstone beads (7-11 mm), 1 genuine deep black Jet bead (10 mm round), 9 jet black opaque glass crow beads, 22 knots and a Pewter pentacle charm (20 x 17mm).



A fossilized resin of coniferous trees, projective Amber is possibly the oldest substance used for human adornment. Associated with the Divine Great Mother, fire, Akasha, the Sun, time, longevity, love, healing, strength, protection and beauty, beads and pendants of Amber have been found in European gravesites dating back to at least 8000 BCE. Warm to the touch and often containing insect inclusions, Amber possesses the power of the Life and Death. Rubbed Amber becomes electrically charged. Witches, wise women and shamans use Amber to strengthen spells.

A gemstone which is actually fossilized wood millions of years old, Jet (also known as Witches' Amber) is receptive. Associated with Earth (due to its black color), Akasha (due to its organic origins), Saturn, protection, luck, divination and health, Jet, like Amber, may become electrically charged. Lore teaches that when worn continually, Jet absorbs part of the wearer's "soul" and becomes a powerfully magical tool, and maintains the proper flow of energy throughout the body.

Amber and Jet have both been found in prehistoric graves, testifying to the antiquity of their use as spiritual stones.

The pentacle is a powerful protective symbol of the Old Ways, of Witch Craft.

Nine is the diameter of the witch's sacred circle.

Like the number of knots in OLD WAYS, there are 22 letters in the magical Hebrew alphabet.

OLD WAYS comes beautifully packaged with a small surprise gift included.

MYSTERIES of SAMHAIN Ritual Kit, Magically Charged with the Othala Force by the Cosmos

י״ח בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 19

Extraordinary magic flows through it ... for that extra special Samhain night.



After making this MYSTERIES of SAMHAIN Ritual Kit, still within my sacred space I reached in and drew out one of the handcrafted Applewood Runes from my Runebag - that Rune was Othala.

Othala is a symbol of all that is inherited through one's Ancestors, including material property, homeland, spiritual qualities and magical tradition. Edred Thorsson writes of the Othala Force, "Othala is the mystery of the Fylgia as a spiritual source of magical power, which results from the virtuous deeds of past generations as runic imprints into the genetic code of the descendants ... This is the rune of material prosperity and well-being ... It is preserved clanic and tribal law on a spiritual level ... In Asatru this rune is expressed by the Kindred."

Key concepts corresponding to Othala:

Inherited Power
Prosperity
Preserved Freedom
Sacred Enclosure

Indeed, Othala, with all it's intimate associations with the Ancestors, is the perfect rune for Samhain. Importantly, it is with the Othala Force that the Cosmos has blessed this MYSTERIES of SAMHAIN Ritual Kit.



The kit comes in a sturdy wooden Halloween box (5x5x5 inches) decorated with the mystical colors of Samhain and adorned with a large orange bow. The box itself is just absolutely gorgeous and can be used year after year to store your Samhain ritual items.

Magical goodies included in the kit:

1 SALEM black soy candle 2x3 inches w/ Dragon's Blood resin oil and Pentacle charm on Samhain ribbon.

1 SPIRIT NIGHT deep autumn orange soy candle 2x3 inches w/ Pumpkin Pie Spices, Dittany of Crete, Wormwood, Mullein Flower, Dragon's Blood resin oil, and a Jack-o-Lantern charm on Samhain ribbon.

1 corked 0.5 ounce vial of SAMHAIN MYSTERIES Incense made w/ OMAN HOUGARI FRANKINCENSE (Boswellia sacra), YEMEN MYRRH (Commiphora myrrha), True Cinnamon (Cinnamomum zeylanicum) chips from Madagascar, Rosemary, Cedar chips, Patchouli, Mullein Flower, Clove, Mugwort and Orange Peel. Sealed with orange wax sprinkled w/ Blaze ultra fine micro-glitter.

1 Belgian Instant Lite Resin Coal 33mm - the cleanest burning incense charcoal on the market.

1 capped 0.5 ounce bottle of SAMHAIN MYSTERIES Ritual Oil made w/ Mullein Flower, 3 whole Cloves, Rosemary, Cedar chips, Orange Peel, and Frankincense and Myrrh essential oils in a Safflower carrier oil. Adorned w/ orange and black handmade silk sari ribbon.

1 specimen of genuine fossilized Black Jet (Witches' Amber) from Siberia.

1 Spell Scroll made of handcrafted paper on which to write your word magic or sigil charm. Tied with Samhain ribbon.

1 corked vial of premium Witches' Black Salt.

1 cute Mini Pumpkin (Putka Pod) scented with Witch's Brew.

SABBAT BLUE FIRE Witch's Altar Ladder / Handfasting Cord

י״ג בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 14

This particular witch's ladder was custom made for one of my customers, but I may make another one as an open listing for my Etsy shoppe just because I think it turned out so stunning! I think the next one will have a pentacle charm at one end and a star of David at the other end.



Handcrafted under the waxing gibbous Moon 95% Full during the planetary hour of Jupiter (Grace of the Sabbats and/or Sabbath Days), SABBAT BLUE FIRE witch's altar ladder and/or handfasting cord is made with 9 glass black crow beads, 22 knots, crescent moon with stars and pentacle charms, and 4 ribbons/yarns, one for each of the Greater Sabbats -

Samhain (Halloween) - witchy black diorite cameo yarn
Imbolg (Candlemas) - light sparkle blue ribbon
Beltaine (Cetsamhain) - handmade spruce silk sari ribbon
Lughnasadh (Lammas) - dark navy blue ribbon

Nine is the diameter of a witch's sacred circle.

There are 22 letters in the magical Hebrew alphabet.

Measuring 60 inches (= 5 feet = five elemental corners of the encircled Pentacle), this extraordinary cord corresponds to the "SECRET WITHIN THE SECRET" of the witch's sacred circle through the magical Hebrew letter Samech (having both a gematria-numerology value of 60 and written in the form of a closed circle).

Each end of the ladder is completed with a small light blue sparkling bow.

Soy Candle Care and Safety

י״א בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 12

Helpful information on soy candle care and safety from CT RIVER Candles:

General safety for any candle.

Never leave a burning candle unattended!

Extinguish all candles when leaving a room or going to sleep.

Never use a candle as a night light.

Keep burning candles away from children and pets.

Do not place near flammable objects such as curtains, walls, bedding, papers, etc.

Keep candle free of wick trimmings, matches, or other foreign matter that could be a fire hazard.

Make sure the candle is placed on a stable, heat resistant level surface.

Avoid burning in drafts such as open windows, ceiling fans and air currents.

Extinguish if flame become too high or if flickering repeatedly. Let the candle cool, trim the wick and check for drafts before relighting.

Keep wick trimmed to 1/4 inch at all times to avoid carbon build up.

Allow candle to cool before trimming wick or relighting.

Never extinguish candles with water. The water can cause the hot wax to splatter and might cause the container to break.

More helpful information on soy candles specifically -

How long should I burn my soy candle? Are you a Candle Power Burner?
The optimal burn time is based on the diameter of the jar, one hour for each inch. Doing so allows both the candle fragrance to distribute throughout a room, and it allows the soy wax to heat evenly to the sides of the candle, so that it burns down evenly and with minimal residue. However, if you are a Power Candle Burner that likes to keep a candle burning from morning to night, it’s very important to extinguish the candle every 3-4 hours and trim the wick and let the candle cool. This will keep the flame from becoming too large, the jar from becoming too hot and prevent soot from accumulating around the top of the jar.

Why is my soy candle leaving wax on the sides of the container as it burns?
This occurs when the candle is extinguished before reaching a full melt pool and is referred to as “Tunneling”. A candle should be burned 1 hour for each inch of the jar diameter. For example, a jar with a diameter of 2 ½” inches should be burned for at least two and a half hours each time it is burned.

Why do I occasionally see soot coming from my soy candle?
Check the wick length. If the wick is longer than 1/4", it’s time to trim. Do not attempt to trim the wick while the candle is lit. Extinguish the flame, trim the wick and relight. It is best to trim the wick to 1/4" every time you light your candle. It is also important to burn your candle away from drafts. Drafts can cause the flame to burn hotter and erratically, thus causing soot to appear.

Why does my candle burn unevenly to one side?
As you check the wick length, also be sure to check that the wick is centered. If it leans to one side, the flame will melt the wax on one side of your candle and not the other. To straighten the wick, gently push it with a wick dipper or a knife until the wick is centered in the jar.

Why does my wick have a large black carbon deposit on it?
Carbon Deposits are referred to as “Mushrooming”. Long burn-times can easily create a mushroom in any candle, especially if the wick isn't kept trimmed to 1/4". Other reasons mushrooms occur are due to the combinations of scent and dye. Mushrooming can be more common in heavier or floral scents but if the wick is kept trimmed, mushrooming should not be a problem.

Can I reuse the container after I have finished burning the candle?
Certainly. If you have wax left in the container, you can remove the wax by scooping it out with a knife. If desired, use the leftover wax in a tart melter. Soak the container in warm soapy water and wash as you would any other glass. The wick is attached to the bottom of the glass with an adhesive that is easily removed with a pair of pliers or tweezers. Our mason jars make perfect storage containers for many different items and you will be helping the environment by recycling the jars instead of adding them to a landfill.

What is the best way to care for my candle wick?
Always keep wicks trimmed to 1/4" to keep candles burning correctly. Soy candles do not emit toxins but if the wick is too long or the candle is burned more that 3 hours, soot from the wick may accumulate on the jars. This is NOT the same as the toxic soot left from paraffin candles but it can still be unsightly. Keep your candles burning nicely by adhering to our wick trimming guidelines.

Why is there is oil on top of my container candle?
This is called "Soy Sweat". Since soy wax has a lower melting point than paraffin wax, it can release excess moisture that it cannot hold. Typically this is due to temperature changes. You can leave it or wipe it out with a tissue. Sweat from soy candles will NOT affect the burn quality and will generally not show up again after your first burn. For optimum performance of soy candles, please do not put them in direct sunlight.

Why is there sometimes frost in soy candles?
Soy wax is a natural substance that has it's own natural traits. Natural wax often produces a frosted look similar to "mottling" or what some call "star-bursts". The natural vegetable base is much like chocolate and reacts like chocolate when warmed and cooled. This is a natural characteristic and should not be considered a flaw. We have opted not to use additives to combat frosting.

Should I trim the wick of my soy candle before lighting?
Yes, the optimal wick length is 1/4". Trimming the wick prior to burning your soy candle makes for a safer burn. It also cuts down on soot, and promotes a longer candle life. An easy way to trim your candle prior to burning is by using a wick trimmer.

Why is the top of my soy candle a white color?
Other common occurrences are a white frosting on the top of the soy candle. Sometimes you may even see bubbles around the edges of your melt pool, none of which will affect the performance or safety of your soy candle. This is simply one of the natural occurrences of natural waxes.

BENDITH y SIDHEE - The Sidhe's Blessing Star Pillar Candle with Foxglove, Honey, Wine, Ginger

ו' בתשרי תשע"א
Blodlessing 7

Delightful. Magical. Otherworldly.
