How it burns Just the name. Then I do the rest by hand.
I wait until the house is quiet, and then I sit down with your name in front of me. Nothing here is mass produced and nothing runs off a list.
Three steps, and only the first one is yours.
- 01
Send me the name.
First names, yours and theirs. No birth date, no charts, no story.
- 02
I cast it by hand.
I dress and carve the candle, set your petition under it, and sit with it until it burns the way it needs to.
- 03
You get the photograph and the report.
I photograph the altar as it stands and write you what I did and what I read in the burn, in plain words, no theatre.
There is nothing to ship, nothing to download and nothing waiting for the post.
Your casting arrives by email: a photograph of your candle at the altar, and a written report of what I did and what I felt move, including the times it burned badly, because that tells us something too.
The orange one fought me at the start. It threw black smoke for a long stretch and left a heavy deposit of soot on the glass. What matters is not that the soot is there, it is where it sits.
From a report sent to a buyer
Every order gets both. The photograph is of your candle, and the report says how it burned, including when it burned badly.
No birth date, no charts, no story.
Most shops want your birth date, a photograph and the whole story, then hand back what you already told them, arranged differently.
I ask for first names, yours and theirs if there is someone else in it. A photo helps me hold you in mind but is not required. What I write back comes from the candle and not from what you told me.
I do not promise that a person returns, that money arrives, or that any event happens. I set the work properly and I tell you honestly what I felt. Nobody who is being straight with you promises more than that.
