Many times we fall into the sin of thinking or believing that our world is boring and insignificant. We assume that it is not varied at all without realizing that as human beings we have come to conceive true worlds within our world. Clear examples are music, the universe of painting, sculpture, the great worlds of literature … Even wine has created its own universe. And that’s it? Well, the truth is that no, people have an imagination and a creative power that has always allowed us to forge true worlds of the things that we like and want the most. This is the case of candles, of which there are people who do not give them the slightest importance and there are other people who create a true universe full of meanings and interpretations from them. And, do not hesitate, in a wonderful world that is really worth discovering. We began to be interested in this topic and we can assure you that few things have been as interesting and surprising as candles.
In this post we want to show you a part of the wide world of candles, but if you want more information you can visit websites as interesting as meaningoflashes.com
How to make candles:
We may think that it is very difficult to make them, but it is not and it can be a really interesting and creative craft, without forgetting that we can make them to our liking. Colors, aromas, shapes, sizes … will always depend on us and the meaning we want to give each one of them. Let our imagination run wild deciding whether to use wicks or strands, be they wax or gel, what will be the shape we want to give them, rest in a glass jar or in a glass or naked on a plate or in an old clay sailboat …
Meaning:
Candles are not only used to decorate or illuminate a room. On the contrary, they have multiple and diverse meanings, which depend on many variables such as the shape of the flame and its way of burning, the size and appearance of the wick when it is burning, the appearance and direction of the drops. (tears) of the wax when they melt with the heat, the shapes and derivations that reach the remains of the candle when they melt and, above all, what really acquires meaning are its colors, as varied and significant as there are tones.
Interpretations:
To know and love them it is essential to know what they represent. The same candle to the human being, the flame to the spirit, the wax to the physical and the wick to our mind. The candle is an object that can offer great symbolism that can help us to know ourselves both internally and externally.
Delve into the world of candles and experiment with them as it offers a multitude of possibilities to create them. A little tip, when you have prepared them, put them in a row on a table and sit in front of them. Observe them patiently and in silence, surely you will listen to everything that the candles have to tell you.
A big hug and see you in my next post.
