Yule candlestick / traditional candlestick - family candlestick white - ceramic

The heart symbol represents the pulsar of life, and the Hagal rune (younger Futhark) initially symbolizes hail and snow, and in a deeper sense, according to the existential basic law, that past event patterns have a formative effect on the present (in the image of devastating hail, which, after melting, refreshes the green land). Thus, Hagal symbolizes energies that originated in the past and continue to influence the present.

 

In ancient times, the solstice ceremony was performed as follows: During a certain period (varying regionally in length) before the winter solstice on December 21st, the candle stub from the previous year (which had to be kept in a special vessel throughout the year) was placed into the lantern. The not-yet-turned sun was thereby symbolized by the light projection of the heart and rune in the room. The light must never go out. On the night of December 21st, the burning candle is placed on the lantern - the sun has turned, as people say, it has gone over itself. The candle then remains on the lantern for a varying period (also regionally), mostly until after the Twelve Nights (January 6th) in the Alpine region. The stub of the last candle remains in that special place to light the next solstice.

 

Its form symbolizes the Midnight Mountain. Due to the Migration Period, the custom of placing a small light under the lantern as a symbol of the departing year arose from East Frisia far into Scandinavia. At the solstice, at the time of the returning light, a candle is lit on the lantern, as a symbol of the triumph of light over darkness, but also as a symbol of the eternal cycle of becoming and passing away.

 

The Yule lantern is new and has been manufactured from natural white clay based on original designs.
