My candles are lit, as I celebrate the turning of the wheel of life, and greet Persephone as she ascends from the dark lord’s keep. It’s time to welcome spring with small ritual.I don’t understand people who buy gorgeous candles and never light them. What’s the point? I remember a gathering at Thanksgiving dinner a year or so back, we gathered at table and after in the living room. There were lovely candles on the table in candelabra, and a lovely arrangement on the ornate coffee table complete with large candles.
I asked who was going to light the candles, and was politely told. “Oh no, we never light the good ones. They’re just for looks.” I was astonished, but as a good guest asked no further.
Can a candle be called a candle if it’s never allowed to burn brightly. I don’t believe so.
