In Greek mythology, Hades was the King of the Underworld and the god of wealth and riches.

He was the first-born son of Cronus and Rhea, the King and Queen of the Titans. After Hades and his brothers, Zeus and Poseidon, freed the Cyclopes from Tartarus, they were each given a unique gift for their service. Hades received a helmet known as the Helm of Darkness. This helmet gave him the power of invisibility.

The brothers used these gifts to fight their parent’s generation of gods - the Titans. After their victory, Hades and his brothers became the three most powerful Olympian gods, of which there are 12 in total. Hades then went on to rule the land of the dead - called the Underworld.

All who died were carried to the Underworld by boat, across the rivers of Styx and Acheron. It is believed that the Underworld consisted of several regions - some being nicer than others. For example, The Elysian Fields - or Elysium - was where the heroic and the virtuous went after death, while the wicked were sent to the region known as Tartarus.

Hades rarely left the Underworld and was the only Olympian god to not reside in Mount Olympus. He was often depicted with his three-headed dog, Cerberus, by his side, guarding the entrance so that the living could not enter and the dead could not leave.

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.
