Candles History

Candles have different colors, shape, size and smell. I can tell that I am one of candle lovers. I love candles, its been part of me to light different during my meditation. It helps my mind relax, and can helps remove stress as well, especially the scented candles.

Before I share the health benefits of candles, lets find out first how these candles started, and where. According to National Candles Association (NCA) the first candles were developed by the Ancient Egyptians, who used rushlights or torches made by soaking the pithy core of reeds in melted animal fat. However, the rushlights had no wick like a true candle. The Egyptians were using wicked candles in 3,000 B.C., but the ancient Romans are generally credited with developing the wicked candle before that time by dipping rolled papyrus repeatedly in melted tallow or beeswax. The resulting candles were used to light their homes, to aid travelers at night, and in religious ceremonies.

Colonial women offered America's first contribution to candlemaking, when they discovered that boiling the grayish-green berries of bayberry bushes produced a sweet-smelling wax that burned cleanly. However, extracting the wax from the bayberries was extremely tedious.

 As a result, the popularity of bayberry candles soon diminished.The growth of the whaling industry in the late 18th century brought the first major change in candlemaking since the Middle Ages, when spermaceti -- a wax obtained by crystallizing sperm whale oil -- became available in quantity. 

Like beeswax, the spermaceti wax did not elicit a repugnant odor when burned, and produced a significantly brighter light. It also was harder than either tallow or beeswax, so it wouldn't soften or bend in the summer heat. Historians note that the first "standard candles" were made from spermaceti wax.

Nowadays candles are getting popular not just because of colorful attraction but also the healing benefit and its magical powers uses to be a wishing candles for many. Explore our Magical Powers of natures and discover some helpful tips that you may use everyday.

Magical Powers of Candles

The last part of my  previous blog is Working With the Candles Energy, I have given some instruction how to use candles. Now is the time to reveal the colors meaning and how it would help us. But before we proceed and before you start using any of this I would suggest that ask God forgiveness for everything that you do, be humble to ask His forgiveness and admit all your mistake, a sincere and pure heart is always the best.

 If your asking forgiveness to God never forget to forgive as well. We are not perfect but God cannot forgive us if we ourselves cannot forgive others. Do not make promises to God which you cannot do, the worse things that you do is make a promises that you can't. After all he don't need promises and then later you yourself break it.

 Sincerity of your heart is key that God listen to you, if your asking Gods forgiveness and  guidance. The power of God cannot be measure by anyone. He love us so much so anything we asked through Jesus Christ His Son will be granted. Ask forgiveness and forgive.

Candles could be help you but never forget that they are useless without God guidance and the holy spirit. I hope this may help you in whatever you want in life and may God grant all your wishes in life. God answer our prayers in many different ways that we do not expect be always thankful in your life, and appreciate what you have today, even the very tiny that happen, so you will never miss the most wonderful things that he give you....
