The Mullein was grown and harvested on our NE Ohio farm. The stalks are cut throughout the season and dried. They are then dipped in a blend of locally sourced beeswax and eco friendly soy wax.
Mullein has a long history in magic, with it's mystical and medicinal properties being held in high regard for centuries.
Mullein stalk torches have been used in ceremony dating back to ancient Rome. The dried flower stalks were dipped in tallow, and the torches carried during funeral prosessions.
Mullein has a strong connection to the otherworld and is said to thin the veil between dimensions. It's also used to clear out negative energy and for spiritual protection.
Samhain means "summers end" in Gaelic. Also called Witches New Year, it is a celebration of the third and final harvest. A time to celebrate Autumn, honor the dead, and rid ourselves of things not needed.
Mugwort - is said to stimulate dreams and is used in divination and dream work. This lovely plant is also used for spiritual cleansing, protection, and healing.
Statice flowers - symbolize memory and remembrance. On this day of the year where the veil is the thinnest, this flower is a beautiful offering to say - I miss you.
Rose - this flower holds the energy of divine love, happiness, healing, self love, and divination. Roses are also used for increasing psychic powers.
To use: We recommend using these torches outside and under close watch. It can produce a large unpredictable flame.
Place the end of the stalk into a heatproof vessel with sand, a taper candle holder, or stick the torch right into the ground. If you use the ground method be sure weather conditions are not too dry.
Scrape the wax from the end of the torch to expose the mullein stalk and light with a lighter or match. Depending on the size of the torch it will burn anywhere from 5-10 minutes per inch.
