Lux Aurea candles are pure beeswax candles finished by hand with 24k (99.99%) pure gold double leaf.

These 10" tapers come in pairs. They are cast in an antique tin mold with a square-braid cotton wick. The bottoms have some give to allow you to mold them with your thumbs/fingers or shave them to fit a standard taper holder or candelabra. Burn time of approximately 18-20 hours.

The precious element of Gold is forged in the explosions of dying stars (supernova) and travels to Earth in meteorites. In both the material and spiritual realms - gold is absolutely superb.

As a metal it is stunningly beautiful: warm and reflective, extremely dense yet malleable - resistant to corrosion, oxidation and an excellent conductor.

Its mystical properties are abundant and legendary:  Energy amplifier, protection from spiritual corrosion, gateway to the divine, bringer of wealth and luck, symbol of purity and enlightenment. Gold's shine and incorruptibility are believed to represent the perfection of matter and the pursuit of spiritual awakening. Gold is a booster to confidence and mood and in some practices is also believed to help with concentration and clarity of mind.

The vision for these candles came to us during recent experiences with angel magick.

Each candle takes a good deal of time, materials and care to produce. We feel the experience of owning or gifting one is worth the cost.

NOTE ON SHIPPING: This item is a Preorder - it will ship in late April. If you add other items along with your preorder, they will also ship out later with your Lux Aurea gold candles to save on excessive shipping costs. We are a small, family team and appreciate your patience.

NOTE ON SAFETY: Lux Aurea are just as safe to burn and use as our natural beeswax candles - the gold metal is chemically unreactive and its melting point is far above that of the candle flame. You will notice the gold flakes collect in the molten wax pool and on the wick, which is perfectly fine, beautiful to experience and should not interfere with the burn of the candle.
