The Actualizer

The 4 strands of The Actualizer represent the 4 elements necessary to bring our creative impulses into being: The Dream (air), The Desire (water), The Will (fire), and The Work (earth). When burned, these 4 alchemize together to bring your visions into the real world. Try a journaling practice, exploring these 4 elements, while you burn The Actualizer. This spell burns for about 45 min.

We need intentional spaces to work on the skill of bringing our revolutionary visions into the real world, now more than ever. This candle is an invitation to make real what you dream is possible. To take The Dream, identify The Desire that inspires it, find your inner Will to overcome any challenges that will arise, and prepare for The Work and the community that will carry it with you. Break down the big impossible dreams into possible practical steps forward. Narrow the channel for the wide unknown to make its way into the narrow known, the breadth of the multiverse into the here and now. From the formless void, create form.

Beeswax facts:

Beeswax is a precious substance! Worker bees patiently convert the sugars from their hard-won honey, extruding tiny flakes of beeswax from 8 glands in their abdomen (16 flakes per day). They gather up the hard flakes, and soften them by chewing (and gathering together to keep the hive warm with their body heat), in order to construct their honeycomb and nurseries. It takes an average of 6-8 lbs. of honey (30 million flowers) to create 1 lb. of beeswax (equivalent to 7 of these 10” tapers)! Many thanks to these mystical beings and their keepers!

Benefits of burning beeswax candles:

Burning beeswax candles can benefit your body and spirit. They clear the air of airborne allergens, as they emit negative ions. Firelight is on a similar spectrum as sunlight, and can bring some balance to the dark nights of winter.

All Beheld Ritual Arts candles are made with single-sourced beeswax from a small, local apiary, here in Western North Carolina, and dipped on 100% cotton wick.

Approx. 9” x 7/8”, at the base (approx. 45 min. burn time)

Caution!!! - Braided candles drip very unpredictably, and should never be left unattended. Protect any surfaces with a dish or something under the candleholder to catch extra drips.
