Time is of the essence.

The first burn is a crucial step that imprints a memory into the soul of the wax. 

It's essential to burn until the entire surface has pooled from edge to edge of the vessel, allowing a complete melt pool to form to prevent tunneling. This initial burn sets the stage for how the candle will continue to illuminate and spread its sacred scent.

For each subsequent burn, your actions directly influence the candle's performance and longevity. Always remember to trim the wick before relighting. At each lighting, you should trim the wick to 1/4".

If you wish to burn your candle for long periods of time, extinguish the flame after 4 hours and let the wax cool. The wick may require recentering from time to time. If so, gently readjust the wick while the wax is still molten, allowing the wax to solidify before trimming and relighting. 

Burn in sight, out of harm's way on a heat-safe surface, or resting on a stylish plate.
