You can definitely use them. I can’t have real candles at my work so having the electric ones are just as good.
Sweet! I figured the divines wouldn’t mind, but when I do spells or workings that need to fly out into the ether, i will still carve, dress and burn regular candles as one would expect, as it is an offering to our friends on the other side. I’m super stoked I might get 2 sets, one for the working altar and one for my ancestral
They give different color options which changes the ambiance of the ritual.
Here’s a little fairy house I am working on, it’s In progress
Good idea and nice!
Is this to welcome, talk to, or catch and eat the faeries?
Thanks!
Just to welcome them in to hang out and keep the snails off my plants, fuckers about crushed some of my uh “very important” plants and fairies have a fun little attitude so I doubt they’d taste any good lol
This is so adorable I want to make my own faery house too. lol
Here’s our little shelf that the fairies have taken over, which is cool with us, right around the corner is my working altar. Those are Baron Samedi’s glasses on the shelf too, one of his pairs floating around the house anyhow
The faery stuff gives me ideas… Sinister ideas, but ideas none-the-less.
Changed my money sigil completely! I’m deleting the other one asap.
That is pretty nice
I’m totally loving your box! That’s 2legit2quit!
Aww you opened it I was about to ask what was in the box?
Lol, sorry for spoiling any potential movie references
amazing stuff
Love this thread. Here’s my athame (bought the blade, crafted the handle and sheath at a class called ‘Crafting a Norwegian Tollekniv’). Now I’m starting E.A.'s Norse Magic course it was an obvious choice to dedicate to ritual. It’s sitting in my scrying bowl which I varnished black. (I bought the bloodstone runes.)
And the latest batch of candles, what’s left of it - candlemaking is my oldest hobby, and I get through a lot of them, and since candles got trendy they’re so overpriced I hate to buy them retail. Also I prefer palm wax (though some of this batch are paraffin and a few beeswax - using up supplies), and I’m picky about colours, making what I want hard to find. But no matter, I buy palm wax in bulk from candlemaking suppliers, there’s one near me that I can pick it up in person and save $35 on shipping, and make my own.
Da heck? That’s kool lol
Yass!. This was at Vesterheim, the Norwegian-American National Museum in Decorah, Iowa - does it every year. They also teach other Norse crafts, including blacksmithing, music, folk art, very nice stuff.
I’m in the wrong state!
