Believed to have been born of parents Phorcys (a sea god) and his sister/wife Ceto, Euryale was the second of the three Gorgon sisters, who had living, venomous snakes for hair and would turn those who met their gaze to stone. Like her sisters, she was born in a cavern beneath Mount Olympus and then shared a home on the Island of Cisthene. Euryale and her eldest sister, Stheno were both immortal.

Many ancient Greek myths were inspired by true, living creatures, leading some scholars to suggest that the legends of the Gorgons and their attributes were based on the sea creatures found in the waters of the Mediterranean. Euryale has been compared to the squid and its ability to leap from the sea.

Euryale was known as The Far Springer and her name is said to mean “wide leaping”. Both Euryale and Stheno were characterised by their physical abilities, which was seen as a sign of their formidable strength and agility. Euryale was also famous for her powerful and threatening cries. They were described as loud and fierce and frightening. When the hero, Perseus, killed Medusa, it was said that the cries of Euryale shook the ground and made the earth crumble.

Candles:

For optimum safety and enjoyment, please follow our guidelines which will also help to prolong the life of your candle:
• Trim the wick to 6mm length before every use.
• When burning for the first time, allow the candle to burn for at least 2 hours - or to the edge of the vessel - to create a memory and avoid tunnelling.
• Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Avoid drafts and items that may catch alight.
• Keep away from children and pets.
• Do not move a candle while it is lit or wax is melted.
• Extinguish with a candle dipper or snuffer to care for wicks and avoid splashes.
• Keep clean and free of dust and debris.
• Store your candle upright and away from excessive light and temperatures.
• Discard when wax is 10mm from the bottom of the vessel.

Melts:

· Only use melts in an electric
warmer or oil burner that has been specifically designed for soy wax melts.

· Place device on a heat-resistant
surface, away from drafts.

· Snap individual melt bars off
the main block and place the desired amount into the dish of your device. We recommend using one block at a time, but if you have a large dish and require
more fragrance, you can add a second bar.

· Do not add water or any foreign
objects.

· Keep away from children and pets and ensure that any electric warmer cables cannot be reached, pulled at or tripped over.

· Do not move the device while it
contains hot, melted wax.

· Never burn for more than 4 hours at a time.

·  Never leave your device
unattended while in use.

· Each block should provide 10+
hours of fragrance and can be re-used as often as you like, for as long as the fragrance remains.

· Allow wax to cool and reset
before moving the device or switching to a new fragrance.

· To remove cooled, solid wax from your device, turn the device on for approximately 20 seconds to loosen the edges, then carefully slide the solid block from the dish. Use a paper towel to wipe out any melted residue, being careful to avoid burns by touching the hot wax or heated device.

· Never clean your device with
chemicals, as the residue may be flammable and possibly emit harmful gases on subsequent uses.
