Caring for a candle is more than a safety practice—it is part of the ritual of tending a flame. A well-kept candle burns cleaner, lasts longer, and reveals its scent and light in the way it was intentionally crafted to do. Proper care helps the wax melt evenly, prevents smoke and soot, and ensures the wick burns with a steady, balanced glow. When we tend the flame with awareness, we allow the candle to perform at its fullest potential, transforming it from a simple object into an experience. Candle care is how we honor the materials, the craftsmanship, and the quiet illumination each Lantern is meant to offer.
