Ethnic Table Candle “Evil-Warder”
7,00 €
“There is no ‘later’ or ‘afterwards’—one must live in the here and now.” The “Warding Off Evil” (*Paha peletaja*) candle is a deeply comforting, supportive, and handcrafted Estonian candle, created to offer solace during times of grief, hardship, sadness, or deep-seated worry. According to folklore from Kodavere, a black candle is lit when the heart feels heavy and anguish sets in—the flame takes on the pain and troubles, wards off evil, and helps the soul find peace and liberation. The candle’s natural paper band is adorned with a traditional folk tale and an ancient, ethnic protective cross motif.

This candle (measuring 7 × 8 cm) is handcrafted in Estonia at the Võhma Candle Factory, using high-quality refined paraffin and a 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton wick; the concept and label design were created by Magasiait OÜ. The unscented, deep-black, solid-colored candle features a marbled texture and provides a clean, steady, and calm flame for approximately 40 hours. The candles are palm-oil-free, vegan, and crafted with respect for local cultural heritage (as a characteristic of handmade items, slight variations in shade may occur between batches).
Usage Instructions: To ensure an optimal and even burn, allow the candle to burn long enough during its first use for the entire top layer of wax to melt to the edges—this prevents the candle from “tunneling” (burning a hole down the center). Before each subsequent use, trim the wick to a length of approximately 0.5–1 cm. Always place the candle on a heat-resistant surface, away from drafts, children, and pets.
With every purchase, you support Estonian craft traditions and a local producer. Thank you! ❤️
