Pink is a complex colour. Soft pink represents youthfulness and innocence, yet deeper hues are linked to the more adult themes of romance and sexuality. In this way, pink is a colour that is present throughout life’s journey and is an ideal representation of Lachesis and her role as the allotter.

The Moirai (or Fates) were three divine sisters who decided the fate of all who lived - without exception. Gods and mortals alike were assigned their destiny by the Moirai and stories of their acts are featured throughout Greek mythology. It is said that the sisters would appear within three days of the birth of a baby to allot its fate.

Lachesis was the second of the three sisters. After the youngest sister, Clotho, spun the thread of one’s life it was then the role of Lachesis to draw out and measure the thread. This determined the length of each life. Finally, the eldest sister, Atropos, cut the thread to determine the time of death.

The name “Lachesis” has been translated to mean “the apportioner”, as she assigns the portions of life to individuals. It is also said to mean “disposer of lots” or “to obtain by fate or by the will of the gods”.

Symbols often associated with Lachesis are tools such as measuring sticks and globes, as she points to the horoscopes on their surface.

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.
