13 little lights. 13 conscious moments. A deeply personal journey through the Rauhnächte.
Give yourself a little moment of stillness every day during the Rauhnächte. The hand-finished threshold lights will guide you through the 13-wishes ritual, as you let go of the old year and align yourself with the new.
Each candle combines deep black with ice-crystal white. In between lies the delicate Rauhnachtreif – a visible transition between light and darkness. No prior knowledge is needed: a little light and a little time for yourself are enough.
What you get for €21.90
12 hand-finished mini threshold lights in your chosen light direction
1 special personal light – the 13th candle with the reverse color direction
1 small wooden disc made from birch or elderberry from our garden, for decorative purposes
1 printed ritual guide with prompts, space for your thoughts, and QR codes for further inspiration and videos
Burning and safety instructions, as well as a small handmade gift from the candle workshop
Size: approx. 65 × 7 mm per candleBurn time: approx. 12–15 minutes per candle*Origin: Hand-finished in our candle workshop in Weidenberg.
Important safety note: The included wooden disc is decorative and is not a safe candle holder. To burn the candles, you will also need a suitable, stable, non-flammable candle holder. This is not included in the set.
Choose your light direction
From darkness into light: The twelve candles are black on top and ice-crystal white on the bottom. A symbolism for letting go, transformation, and new beginnings.
From light into darkness: The twelve candles are ice-crystal white on top and black on the bottom. A path of light that can also make room for stillness, depth, and hidden thoughts.
Your 13th personal light always features the reverse color direction. Both variants cost €21.90.
Your 13-wishes ritual – simple and personal
Prepare thirteen wishes for the coming year. You may symbolically let go of twelve wishes during the ritual. The thirteenth remains with you – as a reminder of something you would like to shape and realize yourself in the new year.
Light one of the twelve candles for each of your moments of light. Perhaps you would like to write, meditate, look back, or simply watch the flame. You decide how to design your ritual – the included guide offers prompts without rigid requirements.
A set for a path of light: You can use the 12+1 candles for the Sperrnächte, the Rauhnächte, or another personal time of transition. If you would like to fully accompany both times of transition, you will need two sets.
The Rauhnachtreif – your threshold in the middle
Between black and ice-crystal white lies the delicate Rauhnachtreif. I also call this transition my Flow Zone: the space in between where change becomes visible. Light and darkness are not opposed to each other. Both belong to the cycle of the year.
The foundation consists of selected candle blanks from renowned manufacturers with the RAL quality mark. In our workshop, we hand-finish them with colored waxes. Small differences in the color gradient, surface, and position of the Rauhnachtreif are part of this individual design.
I developed my own form of the 13-wishes ritual with candles in 2019 at the Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. Since then, it has grown and accompanies people on many different personal paths of light.
Your companion for the Rauhnächte
With this set, you already receive a printed guide. In addition, you will find my free guide to the 13-wishes ritual and the more detailed, separately available Rauhnächte guide "Your Sacred Paths of Light" in the shop.
Safe handling of your threshold lights
The wooden disc is made of flammable natural wood and must not be used as the sole holder for a burning candle. Use the candles exclusively in a suitable, stable, non-flammable candle holder on a sufficiently large, level, and non-flammable surface. Keep the wooden disc away from flames and hot wax. Never leave burning candles unattended and keep them away from children, animals, drafts, and flammable objects. Extinguish each candle in good time and follow the included burning instructions.
*The burn time is an approximate value and may vary depending on burning conditions and timely extinguishing. Further decorations on the product photos are not included.
Your path does not have to be perfectly planned. Sometimes it simply begins with a little light.
Wishing you a beautiful glow,Dinah HenkeCandlemaker at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg

Your idea. Our experience. Together, we create your personal light artwork.
Would you like to have a candle designed that doesn't exist yet? Do you have special wishes, several ideas, or are you not yet sure how colors, symbols, texts, and design elements harmonize together?
Then our Atelier Consultation is just for you.
We take the time to listen to your ideas, advise you on the possibilities, and develop a candle together that suits your occasion, your wishes, and the person for whom it is intended.
Your Atelier Consultation – €59.90
The Atelier Consultation costs €59.90.
And here's the best part:
If you decide on one of our candles after the consultation, the €59.90 will be fully credited to your order.
This means you don't pay for the consultation in addition to your later candle order.
And what if you decide you don't want a custom or occasion candle after all?
Even then, your payment won't go to waste.
If you decide against a custom occasion or special candle after our consultation, you will receive a €59.90 shop voucher.
You can also use it for other products in our range – for example, for ready-made gift candles and other light artworks from the Lichtermacherei.
This way, you can take your time to decide.
Who is the Atelier Consultation for?
The Atelier Consultation is the right choice if, for example:
you would like to design a completely personal custom candle,
you would like to combine several changes or wishes,
you would like to change colors, symbols, fonts, or design elements,
you would like to design a candle significantly differently from what is shown on our product pages,
you have a special idea and want to know whether and how it can be realized,
you don't have a clear idea yet and would like support with the design,
you would like to develop a candle for a special occasion,
or you would like more detailed advice on design, possibilities, and costs.
Whether it's a baptism, wedding, memorial, farewell, birthday, anniversary, or a very personal occasion – together we will see what suits your story and your wish.
What to expect during the Atelier Consultation?
We will talk together about your ideas and see how a harmonious light artwork can be created from them.
Depending on your wishes, we will advise you on, among other things:
Candle shape and size
Colors and color combinations
Symbols and motifs
Names and dates
Personal texts and messages
Fonts and layout
Additional design elements
Special change requests
Feasibility and effort
The estimated price of your custom candle
We will also tell you honestly which wishes are easy to implement and where we might recommend a different solution.
Because it is not the greatest possible design that makes a candle special, but rather what fits together harmoniously and tells your story.
How does the Atelier Consultation work?
After you book, we will agree on a suitable time together.
Depending on availability and agreement, the consultation can take place by phone, via video, or in person at our atelier.
To make the best use of our time together, you can start thinking about the following in advance:
Which colors do you like?Are there symbols, words, or memories that are important to you?What occasion is the candle for?Are there perhaps pictures, invitations, decorations, or other items we can use as inspiration?
But you don't need to have a finished idea yet.
That is exactly what the Atelier Consultation is for.
When is the free inquiry form enough?
Do you only have a short question about a specific candle that you have already found in our shop?
Then you don't need the Atelier Consultation right away.
Please use the free inquiry form directly on the respective product page, for example if you want to know:
Is a specific color possible?
Can a name, date, or short text be added?
Can a small detail be changed?
What personalization is already included?
Is the candle available for my desired date?
I am not sure about one of the existing options.
Through the inquiry form, we can immediately see which candle you are referring to and can answer you quickly and specifically.
In short:
A small question about an existing candle?→ Free inquiry form on the product
Your own idea, several change requests, or personal design advice?→ Atelier Consultation
When will the €59.90 be credited to me?
If you decide on your custom candle or another candle from us after our Atelier Consultation, the €59.90 will be fully credited to your order.
This makes your consultation the first step toward your personal light artwork.
What happens if I decide not to order a custom candle after all?
No problem.
If after the consultation you realize that you don't want a custom occasion or special candle at the moment, you will receive a €59.90 shop voucher.
You can also use it for other products in our range – for example, for a ready-made gift candle or another light artwork that appeals to you.
This means you are not obliged to have a custom candle made after the consultation.
Does the consultation already create a binding order?
No.
The Atelier Consultation is initially intended to discuss your wishes, clarify the possibilities, and develop a suitable design together.
Only when you have decided which candle should be created and you choose to go ahead with it will it become your custom order.
This way, you will know beforehand what is possible and what you can expect.
How long does custom production take?
For custom-designed special candles, depending on the scope of your wishes and our current order volume, you should generally expect a processing time of about 1–3 weeks.
For particularly elaborate designs or if further consultation is necessary, the production time may change accordingly.
Do you need your candle by a specific date?
Then please let us know your desired date as early as possible.
Express production may be possible in individual cases, but exclusively after prior personal consultation and our express confirmation.
Your idea can be personal
Sometimes there isn't simply "the right candle" in the shop for a special story.
Perhaps you want to combine memories.Perhaps there is a specific symbol, color, or set of words that absolutely must be included.Or perhaps you only know what feeling your candle should convey – but not yet what it could look like.
That is exactly where our Atelier Consultation begins.
You bring your story and your wishes. We bring our experience, design ideas, and craftsmanship.
And together, we can create a light artwork that truly belongs to you and your occasion.
Immerse yourself in the magical light of the North: The Aurora Borealis Northern Lights Roll Candle M captures the colors of dancing northern lights in a handcrafted candle. Soft lime green, delicate pink, warm orange, and radiant yellow blend into a luminous gradient reminiscent of the sky over the High North.
At the center blooms a delicate lotus flower made of fine pink wax, lovingly applied to the candle by hand. The lotus stands for inner beauty, purity, and spiritual unfolding. Subtly in the background is the Flower of Life as a delicate foil print – barely visible, but symbolically powerful and harmonizing.
What makes this roll candle special is the integrated recess in the base: This is where the included LED rotating light base finds its place. As soon as you switch it on, the candle begins to glow from within. The northern lights colors, the lotus, and the Flower of Life thus appear lively and softly translucent – just as much during the day as in a dark environment.
With its size of approx. 24 x 6 cm and a burn time of about 80 hours, this candle will accompany you through rituals, meditations, oracle card readings, or quiet moments in everyday life for a long time. It is a special anchor of power for your home and a loving gift for spiritual people.

Pre-mixed candle dyes, white candle blanks, and lots of fun. 🍄
With my “Lucky Mushroom” craft kit, you can transform white candles into small, personal lights of good luck. Dip the bell-shaped tops of the small pillar candles into bright fly agaric red and then decorate them with white dots. The taper candles can also be transformed into cheerful lucky charms with a red tip and white dots.
The additional forest green invites you to try out wintery color combinations and your own ideas. This creates candles to keep, give away, and design together – for Christmas, New Year’s Eve, or simply whenever someone could use a little luck.
Free shipping according to our shipping terms. Your color tins, candles, and instructions will arrive carefully packaged.Your Lucky Mushroom Workshop with Two Candle DyesThis kit is designed for small lucky lights and fly agaric candles: You receive two pre-filled color tins in fly agaric red and forest green with refills, 50 white candle blanks, a white candle pen, and wrapping paper. The small bell-shaped candles and doll lights complement the taper candles – for personal lucky charms to keep and give away.Would you like to try more colors and other candle shapes? The larger “Rainbow Times” Set contains four color tins, double the amount of prepared color wax, and 50 candles in four shapes. Both sets include a short paper instruction sheet, safety instructions, a video tutorial, and the detailed practical workbook as a PDF.Pre-mixed – Melt and Dip
The two dyes are already pre-mixed and ready to use in the melting tins. You don’t need to weigh out or mix any colors yourself: Heat the candle dye in the water bath according to the instructions and start dipping your candles.
For the mixture, I use high-quality dipping paraffin and carefully selected oil-based dyes. The shades are prepared for you – for bright fly agaric red and natural forest green.
When dipping, only a thin layer of wax adheres to the candle. This makes the candle dye particularly economical: The prepared amount of wax is enough for at least 30 to 60 candles without refilling. How many candles you can decorate depends on their size and how often you dip them.
If the wax level drops after many dips, you can easily add the included refill in small portions and melt it in the water bath.

How to Make Your Lucky Mushroom Candles
Heat the red candle dye in the water bath and dip the bell-shaped top of a white pillar candle. After it has cooled, you can apply the small fly agaric dots with the white candle pen.
You can also decorate the taper candles with a red tip and white dots. With forest green, you can create more wintery candles or your own unique color combinations.
Please let the dots from the candle pen dry for 2–4 hours before you package or further process the candles.
Your Alternative: Wax Dots
Would you also like to create the white dots from wax? Then you can alternatively shape them from a white wax sheet and attach them to the candle. This is a bit more involved, but then the decoration is also made of wax.
The wax sheet is not included in the set. A white candle pen for the dots is included in your set.
What You Need in Addition
A cooking pot with a diameter of approx. 25 cm
Water for the water bath
A suitable electric stove – no gas stove
Important: Heat the wax exclusively in the water bath and follow the included safety instructions. Ensure good ventilation while dyeing the candles.
Dipping Wax – Not Recommended for Pouring or Rolling Candles
The pre-mixed dipping paraffin is intended for dyeing finished candle blanks. Although it contains oil-based dye and could generally be used in other ways, I recommend it neither for candle pouring nor candle rolling: using the ready-made color mixture for these techniques would be very wasteful. Other formulations are better suited for these techniques.
A Gift Full of Creative Possibilities
Give the complete set to someone who loves being creative – or surprise your loved ones with self-designed lucky lights. Every candle carries your own idea and a little piece of your time.
With a love of wax and the experience of our family workshop, which has been in business since 1973, I carefully put together your craft kit for you.
Please note: You receive a craft kit with white candle blanks and materials for creating your own designs. The pre-dyed candles in the photos are design examples and are not included in the set.

P.S.: Why no gas stove?
I am often asked this question. When dyeing candles, we work with hot wax – and that is not compatible with an open flame.
If wax accidentally drips over the edge of the tin or wax vapors come into contact with the gas flame while working, the wax can ignite. Therefore, do not use a gas stove, but use a suitable electric stove and heat the wax exclusively in the water bath.
Never extinguish burning wax with water! Please follow the included safety instructions.
P.P.S.: Watch out for hot water vapor!
The steam from the water bath can also become very hot. Therefore, pay attention to your hands when heating and removing the melting tins, and do not touch the hot tins unprotected.
Do not let the water come to a rolling boil, and make sure the candle dye has reached the temperature specified in the instructions before you start dipping. Please also follow the included safety instructions for this.
A little home for the imagination – and a light that stays.
With its flowing, curled roof, this little Elfenfang® looks as if it has just emerged from an elf story. Midnight blue meets delicate blue-and-white gradients in the wax. The included LED light makes the little house glow softly from within, revealing its unique coloring.
Every Elfenfang® is handcrafted in our workshop in the Fichtelgebirge. The little broom made from natural materials complements the fairytale wax house, which stands on a frosted, matte glass plate.
With a little elf story for young and old
Each Elfenfang® comes with an elf story written by me – for reading aloud, dreaming together, and sharing a smile. A loving gift for young and old elf friends, or a symbolic blessing for a new home and new beginning.
Your Elfenfang® at a glance:
Handcrafted wax elf house
Color: midnight blue with light blue-and-white gradients
Dimensions: approx. 13 cm high and 7 cm wide
Little broom made from natural materials
Includes LED light and frosted, matte glass plate
With a little elf story for young and old – not yet printed digitally, but coming soon...
Light it up again and again
The Elfenfang® is lit exclusively with an LED. The wax house itself is not lit and will remain yours as a little work of light art.
Please protect from direct sunlight and heat from radiators. A decorative object for looking at and dreaming, not a toy.
A little angel that can shine again and again: We craft this wax light catcher by hand in our light workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. Pink and white blend gently into one another. The marbling resembles rose quartz and is created anew with every piece – making your angel a unique little wax artwork.
With the included LED light, it shines without an open flame. If you prefer real candlelight, use the included tealight in the provided glass instead. The outer wax shell is not lit; you simply replace the light inside.
As a guardian angel light for a christening, a thank-you for being a godparent, a birthday gift, or a quiet memorial light: you can give the angel just as it is. With a name, a date, or personal words, it gains a meaning that suits your loved one. For example: “I am your guardian angel,” “Thank you for being my godparent,” or “In loving memory.”
Your personal inscription
Upon request, we write your words with a fine brush in silver on the light catcher. Enter the text exactly as you want it to appear, and check names and dates before ordering. For longer words, we will coordinate with you to ensure they fit well and remain clearly legible on the wax shell.
Base price: €30.00 without inscription. The custom lettering costs €0.20 per character; spaces and punctuation marks are included.
Example price: “I am your guardian angel” has 24 characters. The inscription costs €4.80; the total is €34.80, plus shipping if applicable.
Your actual price depends on your text.
We write your dedication by hand individually and coordinate it with the angel. The exact appearance of the lettering will only emerge during the design process. Our product photos and the still growing gallery give you an idea of our handwriting. If you like it, entrust us with your words – we look forward to crafting your light for you.
Product details and scope of delivery
Size: M, approx. 14 cm high and approx. 8 cm in diameter
Material: handcrafted wax light catcher
Color: Pink and white, individually marbled like rose quartz
Included: angel light catcher, LED light, tealight, tealight glass with gravel, thin cork plate, and lighting candle
Optional: hand-painted silver lettering
The photos show examples. The color gradient, shape, and arrangement of the lettering may vary slightly on your handcrafted light catcher. If you would like additional wax elements, please contact us before purchasing; we will discuss the options and price with you.
Safe use
Use the lighting candle to light exclusively the tealight in the provided glass, never the wax shell. The glass must be placed centrally and securely and remain at least half-filled with gravel during use to keep the heat away from the wax. Never leave a flame unattended and keep it away from flammable decorations. Place the cork plate underneath the entire light catcher to protect the surface from potential indentations. Protect the wax from direct sunlight and heat from heaters.
For places where an open flame is not desired – such as a child’s room, nursing home, or hospital – use the LED light and follow the local rules. Keep batteries out of reach of small children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point.
Wishing you a beautiful glow and much joy in sharing light are your light makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg.
An angel that makes light and color visible: This wax picture made of high-quality paraffin wax is handcrafted by us in our Lichtermacherei in Weidenberg. Its delicate colors are reminiscent of the Northern Lights. While the wax is still warm, they flow freely into one another, creating soft transitions – almost like a watercolor painting. In this way, each angel receives its own color gradient and becomes unique.
The included LED light illuminates the wax picture from behind. The angel itself is not lit and can be lit again and again.
As a guardian angel light for a baptism, as a gift for a loved one, or as a quiet memorial light in times of grief: With your words, the angel takes on the meaning that suits this person and this moment.
Your personal message
Upon request, we write a name, a date, a short Bible verse, or personal words in silver with a fine brush on the wax picture. For example:
For a baptism: “You are protected”
As a gift: “I am your guardian angel”
In memory: “In love and gratitude”
Please state your text exactly as you want it to appear on the wax picture. Please check names and dates carefully before ordering. For a longer dedication, we will coordinate with you to ensure it fits and is clearly legible.
Base price: €29.90 including LED light, without inscription. The custom lettering costs €0.20 per calculated character. Letters, numbers, and punctuation marks count; spaces are not calculated.
Example price: “In love and gratitude” has 21 calculated characters. The inscription costs €4.20. With the base price, the total price is €34.10, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your entry.
We write your words by hand individually and coordinate them with the angel. How exactly the lettering will look is only determined during the design process. Our product images and the gallery of past works give you an impression of our handwriting.
Size, colors, and scope of delivery
Size: approx. 25 cm high, 10 cm wide, and 1.3 cm deep
Material: high-quality paraffin wax, designed by hand
Color: Aurora Borealis; every color gradient is newly created
Included: angel wax picture and LED light
Not included: tealight and decoration
The images show examples. The color and marbling of your angel may differ. Would you like white, ice flower, or another color scheme? Please ask before purchasing. Based on a photo or color sample, we will discuss the options, price, and production time.
How to make your angel shine
With the included LED light, the wax picture shines without an open flame. If you would like to use a real tealight behind it instead, place it in a suitable holder and keep a sufficient distance from the wax. Never leave a flame unattended. Protect the wax picture from direct sunlight and heat from heaters.
Keep small batteries and button cells out of reach of children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point. In a hospital or nursing home, please ask about the house rules for LED lights before setting it up.
If the angel is to be present for a special occasion
If the wax picture is to accompany a baptism or funeral service, please state the date when ordering. If time is short, please ask before purchasing whether we can complete and deliver it in time. Afterwards, your angel can continue to shine as a personal light at home.
A light angel in Bayreuth
Our handcrafted light angels also stand in a palliative care unit in Bayreuth. There, they can accompany people on their final journey and give relatives a quiet moment to pause. Such an angel can offer light during life and later find a place in memory.
Your light makers from Lichtermacherei in Weidenberg wish you a beautiful glow and much joy in sharing light.

The candle at a glance
Design: erotic figure candle "Mr & Mrs Beeswax"
Material: 100% pure beeswax, partially light-bleached
Color: light, slightly skin-toned wax color
Size: approx. 14 cm high, approx. 3 cm diameter
Weight: approx. 85 g

Beautiful to look at – please light with care
Due to its special shape, the candle may burn unevenly. Wax may drip down or some wax may remain. Therefore, place it on a sufficiently large, fireproof coaster and make sure it stands securely.
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Trim the wick if necessary before lighting and keep the candle away from children, animals, and flammable objects. The fine details of the figure are fragile – handle it with a little care.
A humorous gift and decorative item for adults.
I wish you lots of fun giving it, smiling, and lighting it!

Choose your desired wick thickness and the required quantity when ordering. The wick is sold by the metre.
Which wick thickness do I need?
I deliberately do not give a blanket recommendation for a specific candle size or type of wax.
This is because the right wick thickness depends on several factors: Every type of wax has its own properties. The shape and size of the candle, as well as the method of making it, also play a role. Possible colour or fragrance additives are another factor.
A wick thickness that works well in one candle may not produce the same result in a different wax blend or mould.
My tip: Perform a burn test with your own combination of wax, wick and candle mould before making several candles. This will allow you to see how your candle burns and whether the chosen wick is suitable for your project.

Weidenberg Weather Candle “Protective Light in Inclement Weather”
This traditional black weather candle is cast from high-quality wax in Germany and then lovingly finished by hand into a weather candle in our candle workshop in Weidenberg.
Each candle is a unique little piece. The lettering, motifs, and rainbow decorations may vary slightly from the sample image—that is exactly what makes real wax art special.
The black weather candle follows an old household tradition: in the event of an approaching thunderstorm, heavy rain, storm, or turbulent times, it is deliberately lit—as a protective light, a symbol of calm, and a reminder that even in dark moments, a light may burn.
The black color symbolically represents darkness, threat, and the power of nature. The flame represents light, trust, and protection. It serves as a reminder that God’s power is stronger than any darkness.
The rainbow on the candle is a sign of reassurance. In Christian tradition, it is considered a symbol of the covenant, peace, and hope after the storm. Images of protection, order, and heavenly power also appear in Nordic lore: Thor, also known as Donar, was revered as the protector of humanity. With his hammer Mjölnir, he fought against forces of chaos and was associated with thunder, lightning, and the elements. Even the name Thursday still recalls this ancient figure.
Out of respect for the forces of nature, Christian trust, and ancient protective customs, the household tradition of lighting a special candle during inclement weather developed over many generations. Our Weidenberg weather candle draws on this tradition and brings it into a contemporary, lovingly crafted form.
It is a little household blessing for your home—a light for stormy times, inner calm, thoughts of protection, and luminous companionship.

Usage Idea
Deliberately light your weather candle when a thunderstorm or storm is approaching, or in moments of inner turmoil. Place it on a fireproof surface, become still for a moment, and focus your thoughts on protection, trust, and light.
Please never leave burning candles unattended and ensure they are kept at a sufficient distance from flammable materials.
Lovingly finished by your candle makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst—Weidenberg.
A radiant autumn greeting – and your little spark of luck. When mushrooms grow in the forest and the days get shorter, our red-and-white fly agaric-look lucky candles bring color and warmth to your table. A thoughtful autumn gift, a Christmas present, or a lucky greeting for the turn of the year.
Also for the winter solstice and the twelve days of Christmas, these two lucky lights can accompany your personal ritual: light a candle, become still for a moment, and give your wish for the time ahead space. What do you want to preserve? What may grow anew?
May you be happy. May good things grow in your life.
Hand-finished in Weidenberg
In our candle workshop, we hand-finish RAL-certified candle blanks made in Germany. The red finish and the individually placed white wax dots give each candle its own character – genuine wax art, inspired by nature.
Our first lucky lights set off on their journey via Etsy in 2019 and 2020. The match is part of our gift idea: as a little spark, to invite in good luck and bring a wish to shine.
One candle for you, one for someone special – or both for a shared moment of luck.
What you receive
2 lucky candles in a red-and-white fly agaric look
Size per candle: approx. 18 cm high and 2.1 cm in diameter
Material: paraffin-stearin blend
Burn time: approx. 7 hours per candle, depending on burning conditions
Gift packaging made of transparent film with a brown ribbon
A match as a little spark of luck
Minor differences in the finish and the arrangement of the dots are part of the hand-finishing process.
The candle holder is not included. Please order it separately if required. The additional photo decorations are also not included.
Safe use
Remove all film and the ribbon before lighting. Use a suitable, stable, and non-flammable candle holder on a heat-resistant surface. Never leave candles burning unattended and keep them away from flammable decorations, children, and pets. Protect the candles from direct sunlight and heat from heaters.
Your candle makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg wish you a beautiful glow and much joy in sharing the light.
Lucky lights in a charming fly agaric design.
Magical floating candles for special moments ✨🍀
Sometimes all it takes is a little light to bring luck and magic into everyday life. Our lucky lights are floating candles in bright red with white dots inspired by the symbolism of the fly agaric – a real eye-catcher for birthdays

This set includes:
-two large floating candles (Ø 60 mm, height 24 mm),
-two small floating candles (Ø 42 mm, height 26 mm)

Four Colors – Many Creative Possibilities
Create individual color tips, warm fire colors, or multicolored candles. Carefully coordinated dipping steps create different color effects. Yellow and blue can produce green shades, while red and blue can create purple hues – the final color depends on the order, the color layers, and your technique.
Start with light colors and work your way up to darker shades. Let each layer cool according to the included instructions, and keep the wick free of coloring wax.
How to Get Started with "Rainbow Times"
Prepare your workspace: Place the pot and color tins securely and protect the work surface. Read the included instructions and safety information before you begin.
Melt the coloring wax: Carefully heat the opened color tins in a water bath on a suitable electric stove. Follow the temperatures and handling instructions in your guide.
Stir and experiment: Gently stir the melted coloring wax and start with a sample candle.
Dip and decorate: Briefly dip the white candle to the desired depth. Let it cool according to the instructions before applying further color layers.
Refill as needed: Add the included refill in portions to the corresponding color and let it melt completely. Then stir carefully.
What You Need in Addition
A suitable old cooking pot, approx. 25 cm in diameter, in which the tins stand securely
Water for the water bath
A suitable electric stove
A heat-resistant surface and suitable hand protection when handling hot containers
Do not use a gas stove or open flame. The water level and heating must be chosen so that the tins do not float or tip over and no water gets into the coloring wax. Do not let the water boil vigorously or the pot boil dry.
Keep Dyeing Instead of Buying Everything New
The prepared coloring wax mixtures can be stored in the tins after they have cooled and melted again according to the instructions the next time. How many candles you can create with them depends on their size, the dipping depth, and the number of color layers.
If the wax level drops, first use the included small refill. I also prepare separately available refill colors for "Rainbow Times" and my "Lucky Mushroom" candle dyeing kit: pre-mixed coloring wax, pre-cast in small cube shapes, with a total of 400 ml per color portion. The colors can be reordered individually.
These refill cubes are already made of wax and color. They are melted in portions in the corresponding color tin; no additional wax or color concentrate is required. The separately offered 400-ml refill portions are not additionally included in the kit.
When you run out of white candles, you can find more white table candles for dyeing here.
For Dip-Dyeing and Dipping Finished Candles
This kit is designed for dyeing the exterior of finished candle blanks. For completely dyeing wax when making candles by dipping or pulling, I recommend my separately available color concentrates and a candle wax suitable for the respective project.
Important Tips for Your Candle Workshop
Hot wax, hot tins, and steam can cause burns. Do not touch hot containers with bare hands.
Heat wax exclusively in a water bath according to the included instructions and never heat it unattended.
Do not let water get into the liquid wax. Do not fill the tins to the brim.
Never extinguish burning wax with water.
Children should only work under supervision and with the assistance of an experienced adult; hot containers and the stove should be handled by the adult.
Do not consume the materials and do not use the containers and tools used for them for food preparation afterward.
Follow the respective burning instructions for the finished candles. Use floating candles only in a suitable, sufficiently large container filled with water.
With Workshop Expertise and a Love of Creating
In our family workshop in Weidenberg, we have been working with wax and candles since 1973. I have put together "Rainbow Times" so that you can try out different candle shapes and develop your own color ideas.
Brief instructions and safety information are included with your kit. You can find further inspiration in my Candle Elf Blog, on my YouTube channel, and in the free "Colorful Wonders" PDF. The detailed 16-page practical candle-dyeing workbook as a PDF is already included in the kit price. You do not need to buy it separately for this kit. The PDF is available separately for €10.
Note on the scope of delivery: You will receive four tins filled with coloring wax, the described small refills, 50 white candle blanks, as well as the listed instructions and accessories. The already dyed candles in the pictures are examples of what you can create. The pot, stove, and decorations are not included.

Matte clear candle varnish with brush
Our matte clear candle varnish is the practical addition for anyone who lovingly designs candles and wants to make small wax decorations a little more abrasion-resistant.
It is particularly suitable for delicate wax motifs, mini lucky mushrooms, numbers, letters, symbols, and small details on candles. After applying a thin layer, the varnish forms a protective matte surface and helps keep your decoration beautiful for longer.
The set comes ready to use: a small glass bottle with a cork and a matching brush. This allows you to apply the varnish precisely and sparingly exactly where your candle decoration needs more durability.
Application
Apply the candle varnish very thinly to the desired wax decoration with the brush. Less is more here: If too much varnish is used, it can drip or run.
The varnish is touch-dry at room temperature after approx. 15 minutes. It is completely dry after approx. 12 hours.
Please close the bottle tightly after use and ensure adequate ventilation during application.
Please note
Gold and silver decorations may appear slightly more matte with the matte varnish. However, they will be better protected against abrasion.
Please do not apply the varnish directly to the burning area of the candle or mix it with pigments.

This elegant DIY candle with tealight insert is a special candle blank for anyone who wants to decorate candles individually and with high-quality finishes.

The surface is white, rustically textured, and has a fine mother-of-pearl effect. This makes the candle look very elegant and high-quality even without decoration. It is particularly suitable for more sophisticated candle designs with wax sheets, 2D wax elements, ornaments, symbols, and fine lettering.
Thanks to its simple, elegant shape, it is ideal for special occasions such as baptisms, weddings, communions, confirmations, funerals, memorials, anniversaries, or personal blessing candles. It is also a beautiful choice as a creative base for personalized gift candles.

Only when you return to your own front door can your mind, heart, and soul truly take flight …
This little fairy broom accompanies you with a loving wink: as a reminder to let go of the old, clear out your own space, and make room for beautiful things again.
Hand-bound from pine needles, with a hazel branch as a handle, it carries a very special "motor": a small candle. The feathers from my ducks symbolize lightness and freedom. The little fairy bell reminds you with its delicate sound to pause and shed your burdens. A soft "tinkle" for your moment: Now is the time. Go your way, fly, and be free!
A little forest magic for your home
By the window, on the wall, above your seasonal table, or hanging freely from the ceiling: the decorative witch's or fairy broom brings a touch of nature and fantasy to your favorite place.
It pairs wonderfully with your Elfenfang® and the stories of the candle fairy. You can also give it as a gift – as a small symbolic blessing for a new home, a companion for a new beginning, or simply for a nature-loving person close to your heart.
P.S.: You can also bind your own fairy broom! On my YouTube channel I show you step by step how you can make it yourself without much effort. A little creative project with a pinch of forest magic.

What's included with your fairy broom
Hand-bound broom made from natural pine needles
Handle made from a hazel branch
Small mini candle as a symbolic "motor" and light for the road – approx. 6 cm long and 5 mm thick
Feathers from my ducks and a little fairy bell
A message for you
Handcrafted for you
Each broom is newly handcrafted to order. Natural materials, shape, dimensions, weight, and the arrangement of the hanger may therefore differ from the sample image. You will receive a unique, individual piece.
The broom is offered individually; the Elfenfang® is available separately.
Buy both in a set
Please note: Decorative item, not a toy. Hang and store out of reach of small children. Use the mini candle exclusively separately from the broom in a suitable, stable candle holder – never light it while it is on the broom. Keep the entire broom away from open flames and heat sources.
A little angel that can shine again and again: We craft this wax light catcher by hand in pink and white. Its marbling resembles rose quartz and varies with every piece – making each angel unique.
You choose how it shines: The included LED light makes the wax cover glow without an open flame. For real candlelight, use the included glass tealight instead. The wax cover itself is not lit; only the light inside is replaced.
As a little guardian angel light, a gift for a christening, or a quiet memorial light, it will find its place. This little angel is offered without lettering: You can order it directly as it is. If you would like a name or personal words, you will find this option with our larger rose quartz angel light catcher.
What is included
Small angel light catcher made of pink and white marbled paraffin wax, approx. 12 cm high and 6 cm wide
LED light and tealight
Glass with gravel for the tealight
Thin cork plate and lighting candle
Price: €20.00 for the entire set, without lettering. Place the cork plate under the entire light catcher to protect the surface from potential dents.
“Your candles are far too beautiful to light!” This is what light maker Claudia Ihl heard again and again. This gave rise to the idea for our light catchers: The wax cover is preserved and can shine again and again with an interchangeable light source. Today, we craft them by hand in our workshop in Weidenberg.
Safe use
Only light the tealight in the provided glass, never the wax cover. You can use the included lighting candle or a long-reach lighter for this. The glass must be placed centrally and securely and remain at least half-filled with gravel when in use. Never leave a flame unattended. Protect the light catcher from direct sunlight and heat from radiators.
For light without an open flame, use the LED light. Keep batteries out of reach of small children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point.
May your light makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg wish you a beautiful glow.
This white unadorned communion candle is the ideal base for creating a truly personal candle for First Communion yourself. The plain candle blank leaves plenty of room for your own ideas and is perfect for decorating with wax sheets, 2D wax elements, symbols, names, dates, Bible verses, and custom lettering.
The candle is available in two versions: as a classic smooth communion candle or with an elegant mother-of-pearl finish. The smooth version has a particularly clear, simple, and timeless look. The mother-of-pearl version has a fine, slightly textured surface and therefore looks particularly festive and high-quality.
With its size of 400 x 40 mm, the candle offers plenty of space for a beautiful First Communion design. It is suitable for both individual DIY projects and group activities in communion groups, parishes, schools, or family groups.
The candle looks especially beautiful when combined with our extensive range of wax craft materials. Matching wax sheets, wax strips, crosses, fish, chalices, doves, flowers, lettering, and other 2D wax elements can be used for individual decoration.
For orders of 15 candles or more, we can offer a small bulk discount. Simply send us an email about this – it is a great and practical solution, especially for group orders for Communion.

Cosmic Candle Lilith – the Dark Moon Sister
The cosmic candle Lilith – the Dark Moon Sister is a ritual candle for inner truth, shadow balance, and reconnecting with your original power.
Designed in black and white, it carries the symbolism of light and darkness, the conscious and unconscious, moonlight and shadow space. It serves as a reminder that not only the light within us is valuable – but also the wild, deep, untamed, and unspoken.
In spiritual and astrological interpretations, Lilith stands for self-determination, inner freedom, primal feminine power, boundaries, and the strength to no longer bend. The moon connects us with intuition, emotion, dreams, memory, and inner knowledge. Together, they open a space for rituals in which you can perceive yourself more honestly and feel your own truth once again.
This candle is wonderful for meditation, journaling, shadow work, moon rituals, full moon and new moon moments, the twelve days of Christmas, or personal times of transition. It can accompany you when you want to let go of the old, strengthen your intuition, or connect with your inner moon power.
Each Lilith candle is individually hand-dyed and shaped into a round sphere. The delicate astrological motifs are placed by hand and sealed with protective varnish. Small differences in color, gradient, and decoration make each candle a special unique piece.
It is a powerful gift for people who love astrology, moon rituals, spirituality, and conscious self-development – or a special ritual candle for yourself when you feel: Now is the time to come closer to yourself again.

Immerse yourself in the transformative magic of the liminal time with the centerpiece of our collection: the Cosmic Rauhnacht Candle "From Darkness into Light". It is the central ritual light for your turn of the year – created to make the great transition from the deepest night into the new day tangible. From the stillness of the moon, the radiant light of the sun awakens.
Designed as an elegant bell-shaped pillar (approx. 120 x 50 mm, burn time approx. 30 hours), it unites this cosmic transition in shimmering gold wax. Adorned with sun and moon symbols as well as fine lettering, it becomes your reliable companion through the liminal time.
Its two-color design reflects the eternal interplay of forces:
Deep black on top: For the time of darkness, the realm of the moon, the conscious pause and the reconciliation with the past year.
Ice crystal white at the bottom: For the return of the sun, the clarity of the day, hope and the creative power of new beginnings.
The Rauhnacht tree in the middle: An artistically designed ice effect in the wax marks the sacred threshold – your personal flow zone in the transition of times.
From Darkness into Light:
From the night grows the day, from the moon the sun is born. As the flame of your Cosmic Candle travels hour by hour from the black tip through the Rauhnacht tree into the light wax body, it connects the worlds and makes the victory of light visible right before your eyes.
You don't need complicated rules. Light your Cosmic Candle in the evening thresholds, become still and watch the transformation in the candlelight:
Something is changing. I can see it. I am part of it.
Cosmic symbolism: The awakening of the day from the night
The sun and moon embody the great rhythm of the cosmos: the pause in the night and the joyful radiance of the day. The elegant gold wax elements remind you that a new, warm light awakens within you after every dark phase. It invites you to prepare yourself for the coming time, let go of old energies and clearly anchor your intentions for the new year.
Including frost-colored glass plate
This candle comes with a stylish, frost-colored glass plate. It provides the candle with a fireproof base, protects your surfaces, fits elegantly into your winter decoration and also makes the ensemble a beautiful gift for nature-loving people.
For your Rauhnächte and Sperrnächte
With a long burn time of approx. 30 hours, this candle gives you a reliable, calm light through your liminal times:
The Sperrnächte (December 8 to 19): For consciously looking back, tidying up and closing the old year in the light of the moon.
The Rauhnächte (December 25 to January 6): For the daily accompaniment of your meditations, incense rituals and the welcoming of the new sunlight.
Hand-finished wax art
In our candle workshop in Weidenberg, we hand-finish a RAL-tested candle blank with a bell-shaped top of German production. In a special dip-dye technique, the layers in black and ice crystal white are created, before the elegant gold wax motifs and the lettering are applied by hand. Small differences in the color gradient and the decoration make each candle an unmistakable unique piece.

Gift wrapping possible: Clear plastic film with matching decorative elements (Further decoration in the photos is not included)
Safe use
Never leave burning candles unattended. Always place the glass plate on a level, fireproof and heat-resistant surface. Trim the wick regularly to about 1 cm and protect the candle from drafts to ensure an even burn without soot formation. Keep away from incense, branches and other flammable objects. Protect the candle from direct sunlight and heater heat. Please read the enclosed burning instructions before first use.
*The burn time is a guideline and depends on room temperature, wick care and drafts.
Your path does not have to be perfectly planned. Sometimes it simply begins with a small light.
A magical glow and much joy in sharing light wishes you your candle maker Dinah Henke from the candle workshop Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg.
P.S.: Our tip for your Rauhnächte
Complement your candle with the Fly agaric luck lights. The fly agaric has always been considered a powerful shamanic symbol for introspection and visions. With this light you need no substances or consumption – the loving motif and the candlelight alone are enough to gently open your mind and gather valuable insights for your wishes.
From Darkness to Light – A Light for Your New Beginning.
This hand-finished Rauhnacht candle invites you to pause, reflect on the past year, and make space for your wishes. Deep black blends into ice-crystal white. In between, a delicate ice-flower effect unites the two colors – like a visible threshold between letting go and new beginnings.
Golden sun and moon symbols made of wax, along with the “Rauhnachtkerze” lettering applied with transfer foil, give it its special character. The frost-colored candle plate is part of it.

FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
This Rauhnacht candle belongs to my series of cosmic candles. Inspired by the changing of the seasons, by the sun and the moon, it tells of transformation – and of how, after a time of darkness, light may grow again.
Its color gradient makes this path visible: As the candle burns down from its black tip to the ice-crystal white lower section, it symbolically leads from reflection and letting go toward confidence and new beginnings.
The sun and moon accompany this thought as symbols of light and darkness, activity and rest. Both have their place.
WHERE LIGHT AND DARKNESS MEET
Between deep black and ice-crystal white, a delicate ice-flower effect emerges – my Rauhnacht motif. Here, both colors intertwine and make the transition visible.
I call this area the Flow Zone: The old is still there, while the new is already beginning. Light and darkness may meet.
For me, this is an invitation not to have to decide everything immediately. Sometimes we can be in between, make space for change, and find our own rhythm.
YOUR LIGHT FOR THE RAUHNÄCHTE
The time between the years invites you to let the everyday world grow quieter for a moment. Light your candle consciously and take time for a thought, a wish, or a few lines in your journal.
Perhaps these questions will accompany you:
• What do I want to keep from the past year?• What can I let go of?• What is currently in transition?• What wish do I want to make space for?
Whether during the Silent Nights for reflection, at the winter solstice, or during the Rauhnächte: Your candle can accompany you during meditation, quiet moments of solitude, or as a light for your 13-wish ritual.
You need no prior knowledge or set routine for this. Your ritual can be as simple and personal as suits you.
HANDMADE IN MY CANDLE SHOP
In my workshop in Weidenberg, the color gradient of black and ice-crystal white is created by dyeing using the dip-dye method. I then decorate the candle with sun and moon symbols made of gold wax and the “Rauhnachtkerze” lettering.
Small differences in color, gradient, and ice-flower structure are part of the handmade process. This means you receive a unique piece with its very own design.
A GIFT WITH MEANING
For yourself or for someone you would like to wish time to pause and reflect: The Rauhnacht candle with its frost-colored plate is a loving gesture for the end of the year or for a personal new beginning.
A light for what may go – and for what begins.
PACKAGE CONTENTS
You will receive one decorated Rauhnacht candle and one frost-colored candle plate. Additional decorations shown in the images are not included.
USE SAFELY
Remove all packaging before lighting. Ensure it stands safely and upright: A flat plate alone cannot securely hold a slender pillar candle. If necessary, use a suitable, stable, and non-flammable candle holder as well.
Place the candle on a heat-resistant surface and never leave it burning unattended. Keep it away from flammable objects and place it out of reach of children and animals. Observe the burning and safety instructions, especially regarding the handling of the transfer decoration.
Wishing you a beautiful glow,your candle maker Dinah HenkeGrundfarm Wachskunst · Weidenberg
From darkness to light. From light to darkness.Two candles – one cycle.
My cosmic candle duo invites you to consciously perceive the rhythms of nature: the interplay of day and night, the changing of the seasons, and the transitions in your own life.
Two hand-dyed ritual candles with contrasting black-and-white gradients make this cycle visible. A delicate ice-flower effect connects the colors – as a reminder that light and shadow belong together.
A companion for your annual cycle, the nights of the turning year and the twelve nights – or a small gift for someone you would like to wish time to pause and reflect.
YOUR CANDLE DUO AT A GLANCE
• 2 hand-dyed ritual candles, each approx. 18 cm high and 2.1 cm in diameter• One candle with a black top and white lower section• One candle with a white top and black lower section• Individual color gradients with a delicate ice-flower effect• Paraffin-stearin blend with cotton wick• Lovingly packaged as a gift• Burning and safety instructions included• Delivered without candle holders or additional decorations
COSMIC CANDLES – IN THE RHYTHM OF THE YEAR
This duo belongs to my series of cosmic candles. For me, "cosmic" describes the connection to the natural rhythms of the earth and the sun: day and night alternate, the seasons change, the bright days become longer and then shorter again.
Here in the Northern Hemisphere, the length of the day increases again after the winter solstice. After the summer solstice, the days gradually become shorter. Nature awakens, grows, ripens, and retreats – before a new cycle begins.
We too may experience times of new beginnings and times of rest. The candle duo invites you to perceive these movements without having to judge them.
FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT
The candle with the black top and white lower section tells of the path through the darkness toward the light.
As it burns from top to bottom, its color gradient leads from dark to light. It symbolically represents awakening, hope, growth, and new possibilities.
FROM LIGHT TO DARKNESS
The candle with the white top and black lower section tells of the path from the light back into the darkness.
Its color gradient leads from light to dark as it burns. It symbolically represents ripening, letting go, retreating, and that rest from which new things can emerge.
Together, the two candles represent a complete cycle. No phase needs to last forever, and none may be missing. Light and darkness are parts of a whole.
YOUR SEASONAL RITUAL
You can use the duo all year round for moments of mindfulness: at the solstices, the equinoxes, or whenever you yourself feel a transition.
Take a quiet moment and ask yourself:
• What is currently changing outside in nature?• What is growing and ripening in my life?• What may I let go of?• Do I need movement or rest right now?
Choose the candle whose color path matches your thoughts. You do not have to feel exactly the same way as the season. The natural cycle may inspire you without prescribing anything to you.
THE NIGHTS OF THE TURNING YEAR, THE WINTER SOLSTICE, AND THE TWELVE NIGHTS
At the end of the year, you can use the two candles as complementary ritual companions:
During the nights of the turning yearLight the candle with the black top for your reflection on the year past. The dark top represents introspection; the light lower section reminds us that letting go can create new space.
For the winter solsticeLight both candles side by side in suitable holders with sufficient distance between them. Together, they symbolize the turning point between darkness and returning light.
During the twelve nightsLight the candle with the white top for your wishes and your focus on the new year. The light top represents a conscious beginning. The dark lower section reminds us that new paths also need times of stillness and ripening.
The top color is your starting point in this ritual idea; the entire color gradient tells of moving forward. You can also choose the candles according to your own symbolism.
You do not need prior knowledge or a fixed procedure. Light each candle exclusively at the designated wick – the candles are not turned upside down.
HAND-DYED IN MY CANDLE SHOP
In my workshop in Weidenberg, I refine candle blanks with RAL quality marks by hand. This is how the contrasting color gradients and the delicate ice-flower effect are created.
Small differences in color and texture are part of the craftsmanship and make each candle duo unique.
YOUR RITUAL MAY CONTINUE TO GROW
If you would like to design your twelve nights with the 13-wishes ritual, you will find suitable wish candles in my shop. Choose the lights that may accompany you on your personal path.
USE SAFELY
Remove all packaging, including the sleeve and ribbon, before lighting.
Place each candle in a suitable, stable, and non-flammable candle holder on a heat-resistant surface. Never leave burning candles unattended. Maintain sufficient distance between the candles as well as from flammable objects, and place them out of reach of children and animals.
Follow the enclosed burning and safety instructions.
Your path does not have to be perfectly planned. Sometimes it simply begins with a small light.

Illumination candle for baptism with fish and LED light
A light for the beginning of a new journey through life: We craft this baptism candle with fish and dove by hand in our candle workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. Beneath the white outer wax lie soft colors. We add them to the still-hot wax, where they flow freely into one another – almost like a watercolor painting. Every color gradient is created anew, making your candle unique.
The fish and dove are embedded in the wax. When light shines through the motifs, the colors inside come to life. The fish is a Christian symbol of faith; the dove stands for peace and blessing.
For the baptism, you can solemnly light the candle with a flame. Afterwards, it can be illuminated from within with the included LED light in the base, without consuming any wax. This way, it can always accompany you as a memorial light of the baptism – also at the First Communion, Confirmation, and other special moments.
Your personal inscription
Upon request, we write the name, baptism date, and a baptismal verse or personal dedication on the candle with a fine brush in silver or gold. For longer texts, we will coordinate with you to ensure there is enough space for it to be easily readable.
Base price: €69.90 with LED light, without custom inscription. The inscription costs €0.20 per entered character; spaces and punctuation marks are included.
For the font color, please enter “S “ for silver or “G “ for gold before your actual text in the custom field. A separate selection of font color is currently not possible in the shop. The letter and the following space are included in the price calculation but will not be written on the candle. Please check the name, date, and baptismal verse carefully before ordering.
Example price: “S Frida 26.09.2026 Psalm 91,11+12” has 33 entered characters. The inscription costs €6.60; together with the candle, that is €76.50, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your entry.
We write your words by hand individually and coordinate them with the motifs. What the lettering will look like exactly will only become apparent during the design process. Our product photos and our ever-growing gallery give you an impression of our handwriting – we look forward to carefully crafting your candle for you.
For the day of the baptism
Please provide the date of the baptism ceremony when ordering so that we can coordinate the production accordingly. With the included lighting candle, you can solemnly transfer the light of the Easter or altar candle to the baptism candle. This way, you do not have to hold the decorated candle directly over a large flame and protect the wick and wax motifs from soot and heat.

A light for the day of baptism and the years to come: This baptismal candle is handcrafted in our candle workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. You can choose between Aurora Borealis, strawberry cream, blue, and aloe vera.
We add the colors to the still-hot wax. There they flow freely into one another, creating soft transitions – almost like a watercolor painting. Every color gradient is unique. This means the child receives a baptismal candle that is truly one of a kind.
A dove, cross, water, and fish are recessed into the wax. When lit, the light shines through the motifs and makes them stand out. Fine pearl wax surrounds the cross. This version has no sunbeams around the cross.
For the baptism, you can solemnly light the candle with a flame. Afterwards, it can be illuminated from within using the included LED light in the base, without consuming any wax. This way, it can always accompany you as a memorial light of the baptism – also for First Communion, Confirmation, and other special occasions.
Your personal inscription
Choose silver or gold for the decoration and lettering. Upon request, we will hand-write the name, baptismal date, and a baptismal verse or personal dedication on the candle with a fine brush. For longer texts, we will coordinate with you to ensure there is enough space for it to be clearly legible.
Base price: €69.90 with LED light, without custom lettering. The lettering costs €0.20 per character entered; spaces and punctuation marks are included.
For the font color, please enter "S" for silver or "G" for gold before your actual text in the custom field. A separate selection of font color is currently not possible in the shop. This letter and the following space are also included in the calculation; both are only for specifying the color and will not be written on the candle. Please check the name, date, and baptismal verse carefully before ordering.
Example price: "S Frida 26.09.2026 Psalm 91:11+12" has 33 characters entered. The lettering costs €6.60; together with the candle, that is €76.50, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your entry.
We write your words by hand individually and coordinate them with the motifs. What the lettering will look like exactly will only become apparent during the design process. Our product photos and our ever-growing gallery give you an idea of our handwriting – we look forward to carefully crafting your candle for you.
For the day of the baptism
Please provide the date of the baptismal ceremony when ordering so that we can coordinate the production accordingly. With the included lighting candle, you can solemnly transfer the light of the Easter or altar candle to the baptismal candle. This way, you do not have to hold the decorated candle directly over a large flame and protect the wick and wax motifs from soot and heat.

A baptismal candle like a soft glow in the sky: We handcraft this "Aurora Borealis" scented candle in our candle workshop at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg. We add the colors to the still-hot wax. There they flow freely into one another and form soft transitions – almost like a watercolor.

Dove, cross, water and fish are recessed into the wax. In this version, sunbeams surround the cross. They distinguish the candle from our version without sunbeams. A fine wax bead chain complements the cross in silver or gold. When lit, the light shines through the recessed motifs and brings out the colors inside.

This small Lichtanker candle set for stormy weather is a lovingly designed ritual bundle for stormy times – out in the world and deep within you.
At the center is a black votive weather candle measuring approx. 40 x 40 mm. It is hand-painted with a lightning motif and the words “Protective Light in Stormy Weather”. The dark candle symbolically represents thunderstorms, storms, shadows, and difficult moments – and it is precisely there that the flame can show that light is always stronger than darkness.
The weather candle comes with a small glass bottle of sparkling organic glitter from the Fichtelgebirge. It can be used as candle glitter, decoration, fairy dust, or as symbolic “gold at the end of the rainbow”.
It recalls the old saying that a pot full of gold awaits at the end of the rainbow. But be sure: This gold can also be your own inner radiance. After every storm, a point of light can become visible again – small, sparkling, and full of meaning.
As a colorful counterpart, the set includes a small rainbow doll candle in dip-dye style. It carries the colors of the rainbow within it and stands for hope, new beginnings, light, and trust.
May a rainbow shine after the storm and peace be firmly anchored in your heart.
All elements are lovingly arranged on Franconian birch wood. The light wood brings calm, a connection to nature, and grounding to the set. This creates a small ritual set that is decorative, symbolic, and heartfelt all at once.
This set is wonderful as an active protective light, as a companion for mindful moments, as a gift for loved ones, or as a small ritual for days when you wish for more security, trust, and inner stability.
The votive candle can be used in a suitable glass. The small rainbow candle can be lit as a symbolic light for hope, gratitude, or a brief moment of happiness. The glitter can be sprinkled decoratively around the set or used as a sparkling accent – for example, for rituals, candle decorations, or small light altars.
A light for stormy days.A spark of hope after the storm.A small rainbow that reminds you: Even dark clouds pass.
Enjoy this small, delicate set for young and old – as a protective light, weather candle, anchor of hope, and loving symbol that after every storm, light can become visible again.

Note
Never leave burning candles unattended. Use only on a fireproof surface and at a sufficient distance from flammable materials. Burn the votive candle only in a suitable glass or on a safe surface. Use glitter for decoration only, do not ingest, and keep out of reach of children and animals. Do not put glitter directly into the flame. This set is not a toy.
The dandelion reminds us of thoughts and wishes we want to pass on to a loved one. On this handcrafted wax light catcher, it shines in delicate shades of yellow, pink, green, blue, and orange. Every color gradient is unique.
In the center, you can use a real tealight in the permanently installed glass or the LED light included in the base price. The outer wax shell is preserved. This way, the light can shine again and again at a farewell and later at your memorial place.
Base price: €46.90 including LED light, without custom lettering. At your request, we will write a name, dates, or personal words by hand in silver, as shown in the sample image. The lettering costs €0.20 per character; spaces and punctuation marks are included. Please check your text before ordering.
Example price: “Mara Muster”, “* 01.01.1950“, “† 01.01.2020“ and “In love & gratitude” contain a total of 51 calculated characters. The lettering costs €10.20. With the base price of €46.90, this makes €57.10, plus shipping if applicable.
Size: approx. 18 cm high and 8 cm wide. Colors and design details are created by hand and may differ from the sample image.
Safe use: The gravel must always remain in the permanently installed glass. Use a real tealight only in it and never leave the flame unattended. Place the light catcher securely on a suitable surface. Protect the wax, design, and lettering from sun, heat, and friction. Keep batteries away from children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point. In facilities without open flames, please check the house rules before using the LED.
Should the light catcher be present at the memorial service? Please indicate the date when ordering. If time is short, ask before purchasing whether we can produce and deliver it in time. Accompanying the farewell with its light, it becomes part of this shared moment of remembrance. Afterwards, it can shine again and again at home with an LED light or a tealight in the provided glass – as a personal memorial light for the time after the service.
Wishing you a quiet glow for your memories, your light makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg.
A light that remains.
The Lichtfang is more than a candle.It is a wax light chalice – created to hold the light, not let it fade away.
Created in the 90s in our candle workshop, from the simple realization:Some candles are too precious to burn down.
Thus the Lichtfang was born – a permanent light object that shines for many years.
Protection. Connection. Light.
This special form of the Lichtfang takes the shape of a guardian angel.Calm, clear and protective, it accompanies special moments in life.
The tree of life in the center stands for growth, rootedness and the power of life.It connects heaven and earth – and thus also the people for whom this light is intended.
What makes the Lichtfang special
Wax light chalice – no burning down, but permanent radianceGuardian angel shape – symbol for guidance and securityTree of life – sign for growth and connectionReusable – a light for many yearsHandmade – each piece a true unique work of art
Handwork with heritage
The Lichtfang was developed by my mother – the founder of the Grundfarm Wachskunst candle workshop.
Since the 70s, our own wax processing techniques have been developed in our workshop.Knowledge grown over decades, which today flows into every single piece.
Today, this craft is continued in the candle making of Dinah Henke –with the same standard: to create light that carries meaning.
Lighting – how the Lichtfang works
The Lichtfang is not lit itself, but illuminated from within.
A tealight with approx. 8 hours of burn time is best suited.For a particularly beautiful light effect, we recommend tealights in a transparent plastic sleeve.
The tealight stands in a fireproof glass in the center of the Lichtfang.This glass is filled halfway with gravel to safely dissipate the heat.
Important:The stones in the glass must always be included, as they protect the wax from heat.The outer stones serve exclusively for decoration.
A ritual for special moments
In the ceremony, the Lichtfang can be consciously lit.
With a long, white candle, the light is received and carried into the Lichtfang.A calm, meaningful moment – carried by connection and presence.
Personalization – your light
Name, date or a personal text are harmoniously integrated.Every inscription is created in careful handwork.
Price for personalization: €0.20 per character

A light for what remains
The Lichtfang is not loud.It works quietly – but permanently.
The white dove stands for peace and togetherness. As an elevated wax motif, it adorns this handcrafted wax light catcher. Soft blue, yellow, pink, and orange evoke the sky, water, and a sunset. Each color gradient is created by hand and will vary slightly.
A real tealight in the permanently built-in glass or the LED light included in the base price makes the wax cover glow from within. The light catcher itself is not lit. This allows it to shine as a memorial light at a farewell ceremony and again and again at home later.
Example price: “Mara Muster”, “* 01.01.1950”, “† 01.01.2020” and “In love and gratitude” result in a total of 53 calculated characters. The inscription costs €10.60. With the base price of €45.90, the total price is €56.50, plus shipping if applicable. Your actual price depends on your entry. Please enter your text exactly as you want it to appear on the light catcher.
Size: approx. 16 cm high, approx. 8 cm in diameter at the base and approx. 10–12 cm wide at the top edge. The shape, motif, and color gradient may vary slightly from the sample image due to the handcrafted nature.
Safe use: Always leave the gravel in the permanently built-in glass. A real tealight must only be placed in this glass and should never be left burning unattended. Place the light catcher securely on a suitable surface and protect the wax from sun and heat. Keep batteries out of reach of children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point. In a nursing home or hospital, please ask about the house rules before using the LED light.
Will the light catcher be present at the memorial service? Please indicate the date when ordering. If time is short, ask before purchasing whether we can produce and deliver it in time. Accompanying the farewell with its light, it will become part of this shared moment of remembrance. Afterwards, it can glow again and again at home with the LED light or a tealight in the provided glass – as a personal memorial light for the time after the ceremony.
Wishing you a quiet glow for your memories, your light makers at Grundfarm Wachskunst in Weidenberg.
A little light for big happy moments: The handmade "Glückslicht" (Lucky Light) lantern shimmers in aquamarine and turquoise. The word "Glückslicht" is crafted from real wax and applied to the wax cover. Small wax stars complete the design. This makes it a perfect gift for a birthday, a housewarming, as a thank-you, or simply for someone you wish happiness.
You can light the lantern with the included LED light or use a real tealight in the permanently installed glass. The glass is filled with gravel and must always remain filled at least halfway with gravel when using a tealight. The outer wax cover is not lit; the light source inside can be replaced.
Price and package contents: €36.00 for the lantern with the pictured "Glückslicht" wax lettering, LED light, permanently installed glass filled with gravel, and a thin cork plate. Place the cork plate underneath the entire lantern to protect the surface from potential dents.
Each piece is handmade. Color gradients and small details may therefore differ from the sample image. If you would like a different word in wax or a custom color, please contact us before ordering. We will inform you of the price for this custom-made item in advance.
Safe use: Only burn a tealight in the designated glass and never leave it unattended. Place the lantern on a suitable surface where it will stand securely and protect it from sunlight and heat. Keep batteries out of reach of children and dispose of used batteries at a collection point.
