MARKET RESEARCH We have conducted the market research which has given us the result that there is great demand for candles in rural as well as in urban markets due to frequent power cut in urban areas. Yet the candle has survived due to specific uses it is put to viz; in churches as a religious relic, an essential item at birthday ceremonies, to melt the sealing wax used to seal locks of factory go down etc. now days candle is used for decoration in hotels and restaurant it is used in house as showpiece.
MEANING WAX CANDLE Throughout time, candles have also held some symbolic meaning. There are candles for christenings, candles for holidays whether you are Christian, Muslim, Jewish or any other religion and there are candles that reflect a deeper meaning, whether it is a meaning of celebration or a meaning of love. The colors of individual candles have different meanings as well and many people, although not knowledgeable about the different colors, are at the very least, interested in the meanings.
INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY & PRODUCT V.P. Wax Pvt. Ltd has been established in 2010. It is located in phase Industrial belt of Nain, Allahabad. The name of the product is Bright Wax Candle, which we have recently launched in the market. We have started our form by producing normal candles after observing the demand of the customer we decided to launch Wax candle with various shape & Size Company¶s main objective is customer satisfaction.
HISTORY OF CANDLE While the word candle came from the Latin
candere,
meaning "to shine,"
candles are thought to have originated several millennia ago (3000 BC) in Egypt and Crete. The first candles were made from animal fat, also known as tallow. The torch was a large variant of candle used especially for lighting bigger places, usually outdoors because of the smoke they released. The Romans introduced candles with wicks using them to aid travelers after dark and lighting homes and places of worship at night. During the middle Ages beeswax, a substance secreted by honey bees to make their honeycombs, was introduced. Beeswax candles were superior to those made with tallow because they did not produce a smoky flame or emit an acrid odor when burned. Unfortunately, beeswax was extremely expensive and only the rich could afford it. Candle makers, known as chandlers visited homes to make candles. Using the residents¶ own tallow or beeswax, chandlers would dip wicks to craft tapers in exchange for payment. Many of these chandlers also opened and maintained the first shops that sold candles. In Colonial America, women discovered that boiling the grayish green berries of bayberry bushes resulted in a clean burning wax with a sweet scent. Because the extraction of the wax from the bayberries was extremely tedious, the popularity of bayberry candles soon faded.
TYPES OF CANDLE SKULL CANDLE:
Use this for a thick skull! When you have to get inside someone's head, this is the ticket. Ellegua, remover of all obstacles is at work here. Use Uncrossing Oil.
MALE FIGURE CANDLE:
This is used singularly to attract a man to come to you. We use this with a Female Figure, and the Spell is to bring the lovers together. Both ways accomplish the same thing; it depends on how you want to work it. Figure Candles are good for developing visualization. I recommend burning these in front of a Come to Me Candle or Hypnotic with Midnight or Mystery Oil. On the Figure Candles you have a very potent combination. Burn Passionate Lovers Incense and you have amour extraordinaire.
FEMALE FIGURE CANDLE:
This works the same way as the Male Figure, but here's a very interesting variation for women who are shy, or just in a rut. Take your Figure Candle and anoint it with either Passion Oil or Voodoo Nights Oil. Burn this in front of a Flirtation Candle and you'll not only find yourself getting there to meet men, you'll be a {HOT} number! Here's a little secret: having problems keeping a man once you've met? Then burn a White Figure dressed with Femme Blanche Oil in front of a Femme Blanche Candle.
CAT FIGURE CANDLE:
Luck is the key here and that's what those in the know of Voodoo use for their gambling winnings. Anoint a Black or Red Cat Candle with Gambler's Oil, and burn in front of a Lucky Seven Candle HINT: {your lucky numbers can be inscribed on both your Lucky Seven and Cat Candle for extra Power} Need a change of luck in general? Burn a Red Cat Candle dressed with Lucky Lodestone Oil in front of a Solar Blast Candle that's been dresses with 9 Fruits Oil or Ode to Joy Oil.
WITCH CANDLE:
Care to be a Witch someone Special? Then use a Red Witch Candle anointed with Bewitching Oil and burns this in front of a Midnight Candle. Both names should be included on the Witch Candle. Use Black Opium Incense or Voluptuous Venus Incense while the party Is there. The effects are DAZZLING.
DEVIL CANDLE:
Famous for their lucky attributes. Voodoo Root men use them often. You know the phrase ³Lucky Devil "? Well, these candles are anointed with Flying Devil Oil and burned in front of an Uncrossing Candle. I've seen people with the worst problems have them turn around. This works best on Red Devil's. If you can't obtain a Red Devil Candle and you want to use this spell, then use a plain Red Candle instead.
CROSS CANDLE:
Did you ever hear the expression; ³He has to heavy a cross to bear?´ There is a wonderful booklet written called Secrets of the Psalms. Burn an Uncrossing Candle anoint with Hyssop or Uncrossing Oil. Use Hi John Incense and read the appropriate Psalm over the candle. This works very well with all the Enchanted
Candles, but the best with Uncrossing, House Blessings, Healings, Solar Blasts and the like. They are all right for Love and Money, but better when used for the more Spiritual needs.
DEVOTIONAL FIGURE CANDLE:
Dolphins, Seashells, Unicorns, etc. In this case, choose what suits the spell. I have found that if the Goddess or God wants an offering they will guide you to it. For example: Erzulie's an Ocean Dweller, so Seashells are appropriate. To light a Seashell Candle in Her honor will most certainly get her attention and appreciation.
SEVEN DAY SAINT CANDLE:
These mostly describe themselves. Usually a Prayer is included on the candle, which will explain what the candle is for. If you're unsure and you are buying your stock in a reputable store, the staff will be able to help answer some questions for you. I strongly advise you buy your Magical supplies in a store with good vibes, as these will absorb negativity, which will lessen the strength and Power of your Spell. Some Deities will not even come when summoned if the supplies the spell is conjured with are unclean.
MANUFACTURING PROCESS For hundreds of years the basic "art" of hand pouring candles remained relatively unchanged. In simple terms making a candle involved melting wax, coloring, scenting and pouring into molds. Along the way, gradual changes were made in the process and in the industry such as pouring into glass containers, development of new types of molds and even pouring wax into sand to make candles. In our estimation, more changes have occurred in the hand pouring of candles in past number of years than the previous 100 years. Companies and individuals can now "accessorize" their operation to make the process of hand pouring much easier. Several of the early developments, which may not have been considered revolutionary at the time, have made life easier for the candle maker. Two examples include the pre-wick assembly and "blended waxes." The pre-wick assembly has made life much easier for companies of all sizes when making votives and container candles. Having the wick waxed, cut and a tab placed on it accuser
