DESCRIPTION
The primary myth of Sekhmet has her as the vengeful lioness who nearly wiped out humanity in bloodlust. Though Ra had first given her the order to destroy those who conspired against him, he realized she was somewhat too good at her job and humanity would cease to exist. In order to stop her slaughter Thoth recommended dying beer red so that she would mistake it for blood, and in her drunkenness, she was placated. In some myths this changes her to the Goddess of love Hathor. Sekhmet is therefore seen as a divine arbitrator of Ma'at, with fearsome titles such as "Lady of Slaughter" and "Mistress of Dread." Like Apollo however, she also has the power to drive away plague and illness, and the priests of her and her son, Nefertem, were some of the most accomplished physicians of the ancient world. Sekhmet in all her forms is a vibrant entity, full of passion for the joys of life and the fearlessness of the warrior.
SAFETY:
Never leave a lit candle unattended, and place a flameproof object under candle for precaution and to collect wax. As an irregular shaped candle melting wax has a tendency to drip unpredictably.

I hope my products enrich your journey. May it be passionate and rewarding.
How it’s Made
Please note as a handmade object made from pure, natural beeswax, it is natural for the wax to change color throughout the seasons with the pollen and nectar available to the bees. Therefore, there will often be slight variations in color. Yellow beeswax is pure and natural with no additions. White beeswax has been naturally bleached of the yellow hue. All other colors have the addition of a candle dye and nothing more.
Solis Iluminatum uses the best beeswax it can source. The largest bulk from Gardner Bees, a small family-owned farm in Sleepy Eye, Minnesota, and others supplemented from wholesale suppliers from the United States committed to sustainability efforts under the certification of Oregon Tilth. We hope you will recognize the unique gentle scent and texture of 100% beeswax, uncut with any vegetable or petroleum based waxes.
