Sleep Personified

Hypnos was known as the God of Sleep, but as a primordial deity, he was more correctly the personification of sleep.

He was the son of Nyx (night) and Erebus (darkness) and resided in the eternal darkness of the underworld alongside his parents and his twin brother, Thanatos (death). It was said that he followed his mother into the sky at the end of each day to spread sleep across the land.

Legend tells of the brothers inhabiting a dark and silent cave in the region of Tartarus, where the river Lethe flowed. Lethe was one of five rivers of the underworld. The waterway was known as the River of Forgetfulness and all who drank from its waters would promptly forget about their past existence amongst the living. Along the entrance of the cave grew many sleep-inducing herbs and flowers, such as poppies. The cave was said to have been furnished with a bed made of the blackest ebony, upon which Hypnos reclined. Hypnos was regarded as a good and gentle god, who instilled calm.

He was often depicted as a handsome young man, with wings on either his brow or shoulders, holding either a poppy-stem dripping with the waters of the River of Forgetfulness, or holding a horn of sleep-inducing opium of the poppy. His wife was Pasithea (goddess of meditation, hallucination and relaxation) and together the couple had three sons, who were known as the Oneiroi (the dreams).

Care information

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.
