🔮🐈‍⬛There’s been quite a few things cooking in my witchy kitchen recently that I’m excited to share with you! There’s something about the energy that’s in the air this time of year in New England that has me feeling like a child again, and my creative knows no bounds. It’s macaroni necklace time!🕺🏻So one night while I was letting myself just goof off a bit, I came up with these spectacular beauties! Candy Corn Witches Sticks! I mean, these SCREAM Halloween!🎃For those who don’t know what Witches Sticks are, the are dried Mullein stalks dipped in beeswax. They are believed to be the first candles ever made. I made some fancy ones for Yuletide last year and So I definitely needed to make some just for Old Hallows Eve. I love them. I think they make awesome gifts and they are so much fun to burn and enjoy, I love their energy. They beeswax is lightly scented with cloves and cinnamon which will catapult you into the spirit of Autumn. I’ll be posting a few of these in the shop tonight! Stay Spooky my friends!🐈‍⬛🔮 SHOP LINK IN BIO! #candycorn #candycorndecor #witchessticks #thevelvetlotusshop #mullein #thevelvetlotus #halloween #halloweendecor #halloweendecorations #halloweenparty #halloweenislife #spooky #witch #witchyvibes #witchythings #witchy #beeswaxcandles #autumn #autumnvibes #autumndecor #autumncandles #fall #falldecor #fallcandles #candles #candle #candlelight #candlelover #nature #naturelovers (at Norwood, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTN-k9Anjaz/?utm_medium=tumblr

🕯🌲My Hag Torches/Witches Sticks are currently on sale in the shop. These are by far one of my favorite candles. I love their history and how the burn. I use local beeswax and make sure they get a nice thick coat to help ensure a steady burn time. These little candles are magick incarnate.🌲🕯 SHOP LINK IN BIO🌙 #hagsticks #hagtorches #witchessticks #mullein #mulleincandles #naturalcandles #nature #naturelovers #wild #plants #medicinalherbs #medicinalplants #wicca #witch #witchyvibes #witchythings #witchy #witchylife #witchvibes #witchesofig #witchshop #wisewoman #lightworker #candlemagick #ritual #magick #spells #bees #beeswax #thevelvetlotus (at Norwood, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CK3qauwB_yp/?igshid=v5hqwuuljm1u

🌟🎄One day while I was making Witches Sticks (dried mullein stalks dipped in beeswax) I was inspired to give them a festive touch. First I added Bayberry and Cypress oil to the beeswax and DAMN does it smell delicious!!! Then I thought to myself, why stop there? So I got my mortar and pestle out and started crushing up Cloves, Star Anise, Cinnamon, Wormwood and Dried Oranges. The aromatherapy gods were looking down at me with satisfied grins....so I kept going. I added the dry mixture into the melted beeswax and something happened, I created a fckn masterpiece!!! My hands were actually shaking while I poured this new Yule inspired magick over the dried Mullein because I knew they were going to be AMAZING and they are. These are AMAZING! And I kept on going. How about turn these into ornaments? Excellent idea, I thought to myself. So I tied a little twine around one end and BOOM! I love it!🕯And for those of you who may not know, these are believed to be the first candles ever created. Instead of beeswax they used tallow which smelled awful as you can imagine. So one day someone had the marvelous idea to use beeswax instead of tallow and I’m sure everyone was pleased with the upgrade. But there you have it. The original candle and how it’s changed throughout the years. I’m very passionate about these candles. Their history makes them some of the most potent magickal tools one can make, in my opinion of course. And you want to be extra careful when you burn them, they live up to their name. They make a generous flame and can get a bit messy so be sure and enjoy them on a fire safe plate away from anything flammable. I’ll have these in my shop tonight! So excited about them and I hope you are too!🎄🌟 #yule #witch #witchessticks #mullein #mulleincandles #naturalcandles #nature #naturelovers #naturedecor #christmas #christmascandles #yulecandles #winter #wintercandles #wintermagic #magic #magick #witchy #witches #witchy #witchvibes #history #funfacts #bee #beesofinstagram #beeswaxcandles #beeswax #thevelvetlotus https://www.instagram.com/p/CHyvYKVhhl9/?igshid=3rrx6kb1c1sj
