How I love both....and at this time of year so lovely to burn them all over the house. Sometimes when I can't sleep I burn one in the living room, the moon outside and the flickering light soothes me... here is a poem that captures that.....

A Good Talking Candle by Richard Brautigan

"I had a good-talking candle
last night in my bedroom.

I was very tired but I wanted
somebody to be with me,
so I lit a candle.

and listened to its comfortable
voice of light until I was asleep."

I never realised how many candles I have until one of Swanwings friends said " Wow, your parents are really like into the candle thing ." I looked around and well there are a lot of them.

I too love candles, the light they create is so soft and subtle, and they produce such a wonderfully warm and comfortable glow, and i love the smell of them when i blow them out too. Whenever i am in need of comfort and security i light a candle and i can never relax properly without lighting one either!

love and light

Lol, you put the message part in the name part...whoever it was.

And no, not allowed incense, i daren't try as there is a fire or smoke alarm inside my room and it might go off!
It's ok though, i've got garlic stinking my room out, haha.

Ash, you need an electric essential oil burner. That should be alright with the uni folk.

I love candles too but have to be very careful cos Bill either wafts them out with his constantly wagging tail or singes it and sometimes we only notice when we smell the singeing - daft dog!

BUA Lil

I have mounted a high shelf in my dining room just for burning candles. Cats and candles don't mix. Our dog doesn't have a tail so it's not a problem, but the cats want to chase the flickering flame. Not the brightest creatures.
