A little Background:
Candlemas is a pagan tradition that was integrated into the Catholic and Christian traditions. It marks the half way point between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox. Traditionally, this is the time that new candles are made and set aside to cure; and the candles that were made last year are brought out for use in the coming year.
The Waldorf value of the rhythm of the natural world is the focus of this event. It marks the final days of winter and creates a still point before the coming of busy spring work. The return of the light is punctuated by the creation of light giving candles. Candlemas is a time for children and adults to relax in the warm smells of beeswax and the quiet work of creation. (The box fort room upstairs will be full of fun and physical play to counter balance the focus needed down stairs in the candle making room.)
Beeswax shines with a light that resonates with the same vibrational frequency as the sun. Beeswax candles create a more soothing light than any other candle. Beeswax cleans the air by releasing negative ions which attach to and drop dust and pollution particles to the ground. Unlike paraffin and other waxes, they are chemical free, hypo-allergenic and wonderful for people suffering with asthma.
