With botanicals, herbs and resins from the Mescalero sand dunes in eastern New Mexico, real amber resin, frankincense, Texas wildflowers, the Prairie Fire Handmade beeswax candles are inspired by Lilith's time beside the Red Sea, after leaving Adam and Eden.

She has been called a succubus, a demon, an abortionist, among other epithets, but for me, Lilith is the archetype of a woman listening to her intuition and refusing to conform to anyone's preconceived notions of who she should be.

The herbal blend I selected (most foraged or grown by myself) is inspired by Lilith's strength, sexuality, resilience and defiance. These include fig leaf, blue lotus, shin oak, sandalwood, lavender, patchouli, sea salt, desert sand, Spanish dagger, spectacle plant, desert wildflowers, frankincense, amber resin, common sage, sand sage, red Indian paint brush, honey, and desert juniper.

Do not leave burning candles unattended. Place on a heatproof surface. Wicks must be kept trimmed to 1/4 inch to promote even burning.

This purchase is for one pair of Lilith Handmade Beeswax Candles.
