Composition of the soy scented candle Kvasir
Soy wax
The basis of this scented candle is 100% natural and sustainable soy wax, which has the following advantages over standard paraffin candles:
- burns three times as long as paraffin candles
- burns at a lower temperature than paraffin candles, which benefits the aroma of the essential oils
- releases no toxic chemical compounds when burned
- has only a limited own scent so that you can optimally enjoy the essential oils
- soy wax residues are easy to clean and do not leave stains
- of sustainable origin
Candle wick of wood
No cotton wick, the Kvasir scented candle has a wooden wick with the following advantages:
- they create a more lively flame that crackles gently like logs in a campfire
- they burn more evenly and cleaner, so less soot than with classic fuses
It is recommended to trim it regularly, this improves the size of the flame.
Remove the wick ashes from the soy wax so that it can burn optimally.
Cedar Essential Oil
The wonderful pine scent of cedar has a calming, strengthening and rejuvenating effect. It gives a feeling of comfort and is therefore recommended for feelings of fear, anger and stress.
Cedar essential oil improves self-confidence in your own abilities and encourages leadership.
The cedar tree symbolizes abundance and wealth.
Saffron
Saffron is an excellent tonic for both body and mind.
The Romans valued the scent of saffron and considered it "gently soothing" and was often compared by poets to the soft colors of sunrise or sunset.
Myrrh Essential Oil
Myrrh has been a symbol of wealth, health and prosperity for centuries.
Myrrh essential oil has antiseptic properties, stops inflammation and speeds healing.
The scent of myrrh helps organize thoughts and prevents you from indulging in irrelevant details.
This fragrance is particularly suitable for meditation as it helps to ward off self-centered thoughts, calms irritation and improves sleep.

Additional information
In Germanic mythology, Kvasir is a diplomat created by the Aesir and Vanes who had to resolve the disputes between the two families without bloodshed and in a peaceful way.
Kvasir was created from the saliva of the gods of Aesir and Vanes, and his wisdom was known throughout the world.
He was therefore killed by Fjalar and his brother Galar, two dwarves who were after his knowledge.
It is said that by adding fermented honey to the blood of Kvasir, they then made the Poet's mead which gives inspiration to poets and bards.
Together with this handmade soy scented candle you get a simple magical meditation/affirmation ritual and tips for using the candle (in English).
