Ethnic Table Candle “Leetuli”
7,00 €
“A red ribbon binds evil and keeps the hearth fire burning forever.” *Leetuli* is a powerful, warm, Estonian-made artisanal candle that combines the coziness of the home hearth with the protective strength of one’s ancestors. According to folklore from Kodavere, red woollen yarn and the glow of the hearth are potent safeguards against illness—they instill courage in the heart, quicken the flow of the blood, and bring a sense of security within the walls of one’s home. The candle’s natural paper band is adorned with a local folktale and an ethnic flame motif.

This candle (measuring 7 × 8 cm) is handcrafted in Estonia by the artisans at Võhma Valgusevabrik (Võhma Candle Factory). It is made from high-quality refined paraffin and features a 100% OEKO-TEX certified cotton wick; the concept and label design were created by Magasiait OÜ. The unscented, solid-colored candle—featuring a vibrant red, marbled texture—provides a clean, steady, and peaceful flame for approximately 40 hours. These candles are palm-oil-free, vegan, and crafted with respect for local cultural heritage (please note that, as is 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 during its first use until the entire top layer of wax has melted 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! ❤️
