Viking Candles
Did Vikings use candles and how did they make them?
Historical evidence suggests that the Vikings did indeed use candles. They were primarily made from animal fat, specifically from sheep or cows. The process involved rendering the fat, straining it, and then cooling it to form tallow. A wick was then dipped into the tallow repeatedly until the desired thickness was achieved.
There is also evidence that they may have used beeswax.
In our candle-making process, we honor this natural, from the land tradition while also prioritizing sustainability and quality. We use natural-based waxes, such as soy and coconut wax, which is renewable, biodegradable, and cleaner-burning than traditional paraffin wax. Each of our candles is hand-poured, ensuring attention to detail and a high standard of quality.
How were candles used in Viking or Scandinavian weddings?
Candles played a significant role in Viking and Scandinavian weddings, symbolizing the fire of life and the warmth of love. They were often used to light the bridal path and were an integral part of the wedding ceremony.
Our Viking-themed scented candles can add a touch of historical authenticity to any wedding. With their evocative scents and elegant packaging, they make perfect wedding favors or decorations, helping to create a warm, romantic atmosphere.
How did the gods tie into Ancient Scandinavian culture?
In ancient Scandinavian culture, the gods were deeply intertwined with everyday life. They were seen as powerful beings who controlled the forces of nature and fate. People sought their favor through sacrifices and rituals, and many aspects of society, from law and politics to art and literature, were influenced by these divine figures.
Our Scandinavian-inspired scented candles aim to capture this deep reverence for the gods. We have candles themed after various deities, such as Odin, Thor, and Freyja, each with a unique fragrance that reflects their characteristics and domains. These candles not only offer a sensory experience but also serve as a tribute to the rich cultural heritage of the Vikings.
What ingredients do you use in your candles?
In crafting our premium themed candles, we prioritize quality, sustainability, and authenticity. Our candles are made from a clean-burning blend of coconut and soy wax. This renewable, biodegradable wax not only ensures a long-lasting burn but also produces less soot than traditional paraffin wax, making it a more environmentally-friendly choice.
Our wicks are made of wood, which when lit, emit a cozy crackle reminiscent of a miniature fireplace. This unique feature enhances the ambiance and transports you back to the time of the Vikings, evoking images of a warm hearth in a grand mead hall.
The scents of our candles are created using high-quality, phthalate-free fragrance oils. Each scent is carefully chosen to match the personalities of the Viking era Scandinavian gods, bringing them to life in a sensory experience that transcends time. From the wise aroma of Odin to the fresh and renewing scent of Freya, each candle offers a unique olfactory journey into the world of Norse mythology.
Finally, our candles are housed in an old-world feel glass amber jar wit lid. Not only does this add to the aesthetic appeal of our candles, but it also protects the wax and extends the life of the candle. The amber color gives a nod to the past, reflecting the rich history and culture of the Viking era.
Our candles are a perfect blend of high-quality materials, careful craftsmanship, and deep respect for Viking mythology. They offer not just a source of light and fragrance, but a connection to the ancient world of the Vikings.
