CONSTELLATION: The Maiden

POSITION: 6th Sign of the Zodiac

DATES: August 24 - September 23

ELEMENT: Earth

The constellation Virgo represents The Maiden and has been linked to several goddesses in Greek mythology. Many believe it is in honour of Dike (goddess of justice and moral order), while others say it represents Astraea (virgin goddess of innocence and justice), whose name has been translated to "star maiden" or "starry night". Yet most typically, the story of the maiden focuses on Persephone, who was known as the goddess of spring, before becoming the queen of the underworld after being abducted by Hades (god of the underworld). Persephone eventually divided her time between the living and the underworld and is attributed with creating the seasons. During her time with the living, spring flourishes and summer is abloom. Then, as she returns to the underworld, autumn commences and winter sets in. The constellation Virgo, appears in the Northern Hemisphere during the spring and summer months, while Persephone is above ground.

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.
