Bayberry Candle Tradition
"A bayberry candle burned to the socket brings food to the larder and gold to the pocket"
                                                                  ~ Traditional Verse

Bayberry candles given as a gift and burned to the nub on Solstice, Christmas, or New year's will bring health, wealth, friends, and good luck in the coming year.

Bayberry wax is one of the rarest waxes in the world and it is often very difficult to find true bayberry wax candles. It's prized for its unique scent and olive color, its long and clean burning properties. It comes from harvesting the fruit of the bayberry bush. The bayberries are boiled until the wax rises to the surface where it is skimmed and filtered. It takes approximately 1 ton of bayberries to produce 8 pounds of wax that is very brittle so they add up to 20% beeswax to make it easier to work with and more stable.
