Nyx is known as the Goddess of Night, but she was actually one of the very first generation of gods, known as primordial deities. These deities were born from Chaos (Khaos), who was the great void - or chasm - that was the universe before all of creation existed. The primordial deities appeared at the beginning of time and formed the very fabric of the universe, itself. They each represented the fundamental forces of the world, such as the earth, air, sea and light. Primordial deities were generally not given human characteristics and as such, Nyx was the personification of night.

Nyx and her brother/consort, Erebus (darkness), were close companions. They resided in Tartarus, a region of the underworld that was one with the dark mists of Erebus, himself. They had 6 children, the first two of which were primordial deities of light, while another two - Hypnos (sleep) and Thanatos (death) - inhabited the underworld alongside their parents. Many gods and goddesses with associations to the night and darkness were often thought to have been born of Nyx.

When Nyx brought the night to the earth, it was said that she appeared wrapped in the darkness of Erebus and guided his mists across the lands. It was said that even the great Zeus, himself, stood in awe of Nyx and feared her for both her age and power.

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.
