Black Forest Dinner Candles 21cm - Stearin Ritual & Altar Candles - Pack of 3

Stearin Dinner Candles

These candles are made from vegetable stearin rather than conventional paraffin wax.

The supplied information describes the stearin as derived from certified sustainable palm oil and made on a 100% vegetable base.

Stearin creates a firm candle structure particularly well suited to tall dinner and taper candles.

The candles are handmade in Indonesia by a producer described by the supplier as WFTO certified and participating in GreenPalm-certified palm sourcing.

Scented Dinner Candles for Tables & Evenings

The classic 21cm taper shape makes these suitable for dining tables, candlelit dinners and decorative arrangements.

Their fragrance gives them a different role from unscented dinner candles: as well as providing light, they contribute a subtle woody and aromatic layer to the room.

They work particularly well for:

• evening dining
• autumn and winter tables
• intimate dinners
• ceremonial meals
• mantel displays
• seasonal arrangements
• atmospheric home décor

If using scented candles around food, personal preference matters. Some people prefer to light them before or after a meal rather than during dining.

Ritual & Altar Candles

The dark colouring and woodland fragrance also make these suitable as ritual candles or altar candles.

In contemporary spiritual practice, black candles may be associated symbolically with protection, boundaries, release, transformation or shadow work.

Those associations are symbolic rather than guaranteed energetic effects.

The candles can also be used without any spiritual meaning simply because their colour and fragrance suit the atmosphere you want to create.

Black Candle Symbolism

Black has a long visual association with mystery, endings, transition and the unseen.

In modern ritual practice it is often used symbolically for:

• protection
• boundaries
• release
• banishing unwanted influences
• endings and transition
• shadow work
• transformation

There is no requirement to use the candles in this way. They are equally suitable as decorative black taper candles or scented dinner candles.

Up to 9 Hours Burn Time

Each candle is designed to burn for up to approximately 9 hours under suitable conditions.

Actual burn time can vary according to draughts, wick length, room temperature and the type of candle holder used.

Keeping the candle upright and away from strong air movement will help support a steadier burn.

The quoted burn time is a maximum rather than a guaranteed duration in every setting.

Pack of 3

The set contains three matching Black Forest dinner candles.

That makes them easy to use as a coordinated group across a dining table, ritual space or mantel arrangement.

You can light one candle at a time for a more focused setting or use several together where appropriate, provided they are safely spaced apart.

Eco-Friendly Gift Presentation

The candles are supplied in an eco-friendly gift box with a cork coaster and multilingual product information.

This gives the set a more finished presentation and makes it suitable for gifting as well as personal use.

The packaging detail supplied for this product is the boxed presentation; the conflicting reference to recycled glass in earlier material has not been carried forward because it does not fit this candle format.

Handmade in Indonesia

The candles are handmade in Indonesia by a producer described by the supplier as WFTO certified.

The supplied information also states that the producer employs predominantly female artisans and works with GreenPalm-certified palm sourcing.

As these are handmade candles, slight variations in colour, surface finish or appearance may occur.

These handcrafted differences are normal and are not considered faults.

Candle Holder Fit

At approximately 2.2cm wide, these candles are designed for many standard taper and dinner candle holders.

Always check the fit before lighting.

The candle should sit upright and securely without wobbling or leaning.

Do not force a candle into a holder that is too narrow.

How to Use

Place each candle securely in a suitable non-flammable dinner or taper candle holder.

Trim the cotton wick to approximately 3–5mm if needed before lighting.

Keep the candle away from draughts, open windows and direct heat sources.

Keep the melt area clear of spent matches, wick trimmings and other debris.

Allow the candle to cool fully before moving or relighting.
