Beeswax Candlini

When last I was in Greece, it took 26 days and 2300 driven kilometers to find Persephone’s coils. Used only by a very small sect within the Greek Orthodox church, the coiled candles are lit at midnight Easter morning to the cry of “Christos Anesti!” He is Risen!

I suspect this is an echo of the epiphanic moment at Eleusis, when bright Kore returns to her mother from the Underworld. This would make use of the Coil much much older than Christianity. For the Tantrikas reading along, please note the number of times the wax is turned.

THREE AVAILABLE, Finehearts, and yours for the Rising - whoever your Hero/ine may be.

The shipping is, of course, free.
