Peppermint Candy Holiday Candles ~ Snow White Peppermint Stick Candles Sprinkled with Sweet & Sugary Peppermint Candy

Peppermint Candy, Candy Canes and Peppermint Sticks are a tradition during the holidays and our Peppermint Candy Pillar Candles smell just like the real thing, but better! I can’t even explain how amazing this aroma is! Sweet and sugary Peppermint is swirled in just a bit of vanilla giving it an extra sweet essence. Then we’ve sprinkled the tops with crushed Peppermint Candy! 


Magically, Peppermint is an essence that will quicken spells. If there is urgency, add a pinch of Peppermint to your magical potion. Helps to power up and quicken money and prosperity spells. Peppermint herb is well known for relaxing you, hence, Peppermint tea before bedtime. It also helps to relieve indigestion. Peppermint tea, or even iced tea, will relieve an aching tummy. It also helps relieve headaches and helps to open the third eye. Great for clairvoyance, healing and luck. And of course, the holidays! These will look spectacular on your holiday table and fill your home with the sweet essence of Peppermint Candy!

Winter Wassail in Beautiful Illumination by White Magick Alchemy

We are all familiar with Twelfth Night. The final frenzy of feasting, drinking and merry making before the townspeople returned to daily life for the remainder of winter. One of the focus' of the celebratory feast was Wassail, the drink of good wishes and holiday cheer. The ale-based drink seasoned with spices, fruits, sugars and honey was served in huge silver or pewter bowls. The punch was passed amongst family members and friends with the greeting "Wassail", the Old English term meaning "be well." 


In addition to White Magick Alchemy's Traditional Winter Wassail Punch, we have brewed up some very special candles in honor of the ancient Twelfth Night tradition! Introducing Winter Wassail Twelfth Night Holiday Pillar Candles!


Winter Wassail Candles are handcrafted in the old pagan tradition. Candles in a Deep Forest Winter Green are perfect for Yuletide celebrations and a wonderfully highly scented fragrance to add a warm festive fragrance to your home during dark winter and holiday season. Made from all natural waxes, pure essential oils, essence oils, natural botanicals and pure cotton wick and free from harmful additives, animal and poly based products. I always use a high amount of oils to ensure a high scent throw while lit or not lit placed within your sacred space. Perfect for adorning your celebratory table for the Yule feast, party and festival.


Winter Wassail Twelfth Night Holiday Pillar Candles are available in an array of sizes. Click the link below to be directed to one of our several Wassail listings!~

The Medieval Tradition of Twelfth Night is Celebrated with Wassailing and White Magick Alchemy's Winter Wassail Punch ~

In Old England, The Twelfth Night marked the end of a winter festival that started on Samhain. The Lord of Misrule symbolizes the world turning upside down with the coming of winter. In the middle ages, the Twelfth Night began on the eve of December 25th moving forward 12 days to January 6th, hence the name the twelve days of Christmas. How far back the tradition dates back in unknown, but it has undeniable connections with Anglo-Saxon pagan ritual.

Twelfth Night was the final frenzy of feasting, drinking and merry making before the townspeople returned to daily life for the remainder of winter. A grand cake was the focus of the celebratory feast as well as Wassail, the drink of good wishes and holiday cheer. The ale-based drink seasoned with spices, fruits, sugars and honey was served in huge silver or pewter bowls. The punch was passed amongst family members and friends with the greeting "Wassail", the Old English term meaning "be well."


The long forgotten tradition of Wassailing was something I wanted to bring back in honor of these ancient old world ways. Last year, White Magick Alchemy debuted its Winter Wassail Punch Spices and Fruits and this year, the merriment begins again!

White Magick Alchemy's Winter Wassail Punch is a blending of traditional Wassail fruits and winter spices. Organic orange peel, organic cinnamon, organic ginger, organic cloves organic raw sugar, and organic winter spices, each jar comes with a cinnamon stick to add to the brew. Add slices of fresh apples or oranges to the brew or use apple and orange slices as a garnish when serving. Cranberries are also a traditional addition to this ancient brew.

To use, simply place the spice mix into a cauldron or pot with apple cider, wine or ale. Simmer and brew on low until the desired taste is reached. Strain the brewing herbs and serve warm. YUM!

To use as an aromatic home brew, fill a cauldron or simmering pot with about 2 cups of water. Add the brew and simmer on low heat. If simmering for a longer period of time, make sure to add more water to the mix. This 8 ounce glass jar of Winter Wassail Punch Spices will brew appox 8 to 10 pots of Wassail Punch. This year our Wassail comes in an adorable reusable corked glass jar with wooden spoon. ~ Enjoy!

I love winter!
