Summary
The pathway to serenity has always been lit by candles, which bring calmness and focus to the mind and spirit whether one is engaged in advanced meditation or merely relaxing with music, a loved one, or a warm bath. Making one's own candles is, then, clearly a way towards enlightenment in all its definitions. Craftsperson Sandie Lea provides simple instructions for making a vast array of candles, and the ENCYCLOPEDIA OF CANDLEMAKING TECHNIQUES is itself a work of art, with steps clearly laid out in block text, and accompanied by engaging photos. The book includes instructions on melting, dripping, dipping, molding, carving, painting, adding scents, and even displaying candles. There are also tips on how to wrap candles to give as gifts to friends. Readers whose only previous experience with this sort of thing dates back to summer camp should find these concise guidelines a joy to follow, and those already proficient can benefit from the seemingly endless array of creative styles, tips, and suggestions.
