Prosperity Bayberry Taper Candles

"A bayberry candle burned to the socketBrings health to the home and gold to the pocket." These 10-inch taper candles blend the natural beauty of pure beeswax with the legendary good fortune of bayberry, creating an heirloom-quality pair steeped in American colonial tradition. Sold in a pair hand hand-tied with muslin. For centuries, bayberry candles have carried a cherished promise of abundance. Colonial settlers discovered that the waxy coating of bayberry shrub fruits could be painstakingly harvested and rendered into fragrant candles—a labor so intensive that these tapers became precious commodities reserved for the most meaningful occasions. A beloved tradition emerged: burning bayberry candles on Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve to welcome prosperity into the coming year.  Made in the New York Hudson Valley
