Essential oil recipes for pagan festival candles
August 30th, 2008 -- Posted in essential oil recipe, soy candles | No Comments »When you are making candles for your pagan festivals you can choose the colours and scents to suit your own personal preferences for the festival, but here are a few ideas to get you started. I have stated the dates for northern and southern hemisphere festivals.
Yule (Dec 21st / June 21st): Dark red and dark green candles scented with frankincense oil, rosemary oil, cedarwood oil or rosemary oil.
Imbolc (Feb 2nd/ August 1st): White candles scented with vanilla oil or basil oil.
Ostara (March 23rd/ september 23rd): Light green candles scented with jasmine oil, rose oil or violet oil.
Beltane (May 1st/October 31st): Dark green candles scented with frankincense oil, almond oil or lilac oil.
Litha (June 21st/December 21st): Red candles scented with chamomile oil, lavender oil or thyme oil.
Lammas (August 1st/February2nd): Yellow candles scented with frankincense oil.
Mabon (September 23rd/march 23rd): Brown or cinnamon scented with myrrh or pine oil.
Samhein (October 31st/ May 1st): Orange candles scented with patchouli oil.
These are only guidelines, obviously if the festival is celebrated with other scents or colours in your tradition then you can swap and change. It is after all your intent that matters in these things.
