Zodiac Sign Candles
Zodiac Sign Candles – Find Yours
Did you know that your grandmother probably knew more about the stars than you? People used to sow, harvest and marry by them. When there was no GPS, sailors navigated by the North Star and farmers knew that when Orion rises, winter is coming. Zodiac sign candles are our way of remembering that old wisdom – each of the 12 signs has its own colour, scent and energy.
A Short Story About How It Was
Imagine a shepherd thousands of years ago. Sitting by a fire, watching sheep, and above him the sky full of stars is turning. He sees stories there – Orion the hunter chasing the bull, the lion guarding summer, and the scorpion heralding the arrival of darkness. That is how the zodiac was born – a calendar in the sky that worked long before anyone invented paper.
Today we no longer need stars to survive, but something in us still ticks to their rhythm. That is why we make candles by zodiac sign – Aries gets fiery red, Pisces calming blue, Taurus earthy brown. It is a way to pause for a moment and remember that we are part of something bigger.
Which Candle Belongs to You?
Fire Signs (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius)
Colours: Red, orange, gold
Scents: Cinnamon, orange, ginger – something to energise you
For whom: People who want action and hate boredomEarth Signs (Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn)
Colours: Brown, green, beige
Scents: Cedar, patchouli, vanilla – stable and calming
For whom: Those who love certainty and orderAir Signs (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius)
Colours: Light blue, white, yellow
Scents: Lavender, mint, lemon – fresh and light
For whom: Communicators and dreamers with heads in the cloudsWater Signs (Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces)
Colours: Dark blue, purple, turquoise
Scents: Jasmine, rose, ocean freshness – deep and mysterious
For whom: Sensitive souls and intuitive personalities
When to Give a Zodiac Candle?
- For birthdays – a classic that never disappoints
- When someone needs encouragement – Leo boosts confidence, Virgo calms chaos
- For couples – his and her sign side by side on the bedside table
- As a fun gift – "You are such a typical Aries, so here is your candle!"
- For mum – every mum appreciates when you think of her with something personal
How to Use a Horoscope Candle?
No science needed. Light it when:
- You need a moment of peace (Pisces, Cancer)
- You want energy for work (Aries, Leo)
- You are planning a romantic evening (Libra, Taurus)
- You meditate or practise yoga (Scorpio, Capricorn)
- You simply want your home to smell wonderful
What Exactly Will You Get?
- A handmade candle from our workshop in Královské Poříčí
- A colour matched to your sign – not random, but carefully considered
- A scent tuned to the element – fire smells different from water
- 20-80 hours of light depending on size
- Personalisation option – name, date, short message
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to believe in horoscopes?
Not at all. It is mainly about having something beautiful and personal at home. Plus – who knows? There might be something to it.How do I know my sign?
By date of birth. Aries 21.3.-20.4., Taurus 21.4.-21.5... Write to us with your date, we will advise.Can I choose a different colour?
Of course! If Capricorn wants pink instead of brown, we will make it pink.Is it suitable for children?
Absolutely! Children love having "their own" candle by zodiac sign. It is like having your own star.
A Little Starry Conclusion
Next time you go outside at night and see the stars, remember – you are looking at the same sky as your ancestors thousands of years ago. Orion is still hunting, the Big Dipper is still turning and the North Star still points north. And perhaps, just perhaps, when you light a candle by your zodiac sign, you will connect for a moment with that ancient rhythm that ticks in the stars and in you.
Find your star: Choose a candle by your zodiac sign and let it shine. Whether you believe in horoscopes or not, light and scent never hurt.

Wedding Candles &...
💍 Wedding candles – because every wedding needs its light
Do you remember that scene from a wedding where everyone falls silent and the newlyweds light a candle together? That moment when two flames become one? It's not just a nice tradition – it's a symbol that from now on, you will shine together. We make wedding candles for those moments that are remembered for a lifetime.
A true story (and why we do what we do)
Last June, a bride named Tereza came to us. She had a wedding in a week and realized she had forgotten about the candles. "I need a miracle," she said. We sat down, chose colors to match her bouquet, and made 50 small candles for the guests and one large one for the ceremony. We managed to do it all in 4 days.
After the wedding, she wrote to us: "When my husband and I lit the large candle, my grandmother started crying. She said it reminded her of her own wedding 60 years ago. And the small candles? People took them home and are sending us pictures of them on their shelves."
This is why we do it. A candle is not just a decoration – it's a piece of your day that guests will take home.
What can we do for your wedding?
🕯️ Main wedding candle
The large, important one that you light during the ceremony. We can put your names, date, or monogram on it. Most couples then keep it at home and light it every anniversary.
💑 Candles for the unity ritual
Two smaller candles (him and her) + one large one (shared life). A classic that works at every wedding.
🎁 Gifts for guests
Small candles with a name tag or wedding date. Better than almonds – people will actually keep these. From per piece for larger quantities.
🌸 Table decorations
Sets of 3-5 candles of different heights. It looks professional and isn't expensive. Especially when you can sell or donate them after the wedding.
❤️ Heart with 6 wicks
For a dramatic effect during the first dance. When you light it, it looks like a small firework.
Colors – what's trendy now?
2024/2025 trends:
Sage green + white – natural weddings, boho style
Terracotta + beige – autumn weddings, rustic
Dusty blue + gold – elegant, a little vintage
Classic white/ivory – never goes out of style

Letter Candles –...
🔤 Letters – candle-shaped initial letters (the entire alphabet A-Z)
You know the feeling – you want to give something personal, but you don’t want to overdo it. A letter-shaped candle is the perfect middle ground. It’s the initial of a first name, hand-carved, decorated, and placed on a base. It looks like a small work of art, and everyone will immediately know who it’s for.
The story that started it all
Three years ago, a mother came to us. She had triplets – Adam, Alena, and Antonín. They all had birthdays, and she wanted each of them to receive something “special.” So, we made three letter A candles – each in a different color. Adam got blue, Alena got pink, and Antonín got green.
“For the first time in their lives, they didn’t argue about gifts,” she laughed when she came to pick them up. “Each of them knew which A was theirs.”
Since then, we’ve been making letters. And we’ve found that it’s not just for children.
Who buys letters and why?
👶 Parents for children
The first letter of their name for their 1st birthday. Or when a child is learning to write – “Look, this is your L, like Lucinka!” Children love it because it’s THEIR letter.
💑 Couples
Two letters side by side – M + T, like Michal and Tereza. On a shelf in the bedroom, on the wedding table, as an anniversary gift. Sometimes we even make combined monograms.
🎁 Friends for friends
“Best friends forever” – each has their own letter. Or an entire name made up of individual candles – ANNA, PETR, JULIE.
🏠 Interior designers
Surprisingly many. A letter as a decorative element – the initial of the apartment owner, the first letter of the family’s last name. In the library, on the fireplace, in the hallway.
What exactly will you receive?
- A letter 10-15 cm high – large enough to stand out, small enough to fit anywhere
- A wooden base – to keep the letter stable
- Handmade decoration – reliefs, ornaments, fine details
- Your color – from classic white to wild rainbow
- Personalization options – date, short message on the base
How to choose the right color?
For children: Bright colors – red, blue, green, yellow
For teenagers: Black, purple, turquoise – something cool
For adults: Elegant – gold, silver, white, burgundy
For minimalists: Natural wax, beige, gray
For maximalists: Rainbow, glitter, multiple colors at once
Special orders we’ve made
- The entire alphabet for a school – 30 letters for the first grade
- An XL 30 cm letter – for a birthday party as the main decoration
- Company logo – the first letters of the company name in the reception area
- Wedding monogram – intertwined letters of the newlyweds
- Chinese characters – yes, we can do that too (with a template)
How does it work when you want to order?
- You write which letter you want – for example, “K for Kateřina”
- You choose a color – or leave it up to us
- You tell us if you want anything extra – date, dedication
- We make it – 5-10 days
- We send it or you pick it up – packaged as a gift
Frequently asked questions
Do you have all the letters of the alphabet?
Yes, A to Z. Plus diacritics – Č, Ř, Š, Ž. Even Ď, Ť, Ň (although not many people buy those).Can I order an entire name?
Of course! MARIE = 5 letters = 5 candles. We’ll give you a discount for the quantity.Does it burn normally?
Yes, but most people don’t light them. They’re too beautiful to burn. But if you want to, feel free to light it.How much does it cost?
One letter from 299. A monogram (2 letters combined) from 480. An entire name = discount.Do you also make numbers?
Not yet, but we’re thinking about it. If there’s interest, we’ll get started.
💭 In conclusion: You know what’s best about letters? That everyone has their own. It’s like a small piece of identity that you can hold in your hand. And when you light it (if you dare), your name shines in the dark. It’s not just a candle – it’s your signature in wax.
📞 Order your letter: 723 913 541 or info@svitsol.cz
Write which letter, what color, and who it’s for. We’ll take care of the rest. -
Pillar Candles – A...
Pillar Candles — Cylindrical Shapes from 2 cm Diameter
Looking for thin cylindrical candles, with all candles having a diameter of 2 cm? We make them, along with every larger size up to 25 cm. The cylinder is the most practical candle shape ever devised — it burns evenly, stands on its own, and uses almost all the wax. Our smallest 2 cm pillars work as dinner table accents, advent wreath fillers, or replacements for taper candles in narrow holders. The largest reach 180 cm and weigh more than a child.
Diameter Range — From 2 cm to 25 cm
Slim Cylinders (diameter 2-4 cm, height 10-30 cm)
Our 2 cm cylindrical candles are the thinnest pillar format we produce. They fit standard taper candleholders, advent wreaths, and tight table arrangements. Burn time roughly 6-12 hours depending on height. Available in white, cream, red, black, and natural beeswax.
Small Pillars (diameter 5-10 cm, height 7.5-20 cm)
For the dinner table, bathroom, bedside table. Burns 20-40 hours. Stands on its own, no candleholder needed.
Medium Pillars (diameter 10-15 cm, height 20-50 cm)
Classic for the living room. Lasts a week of daily use. Most popular with homemakers and restaurants.
Large Pillars (diameter 15-25 cm, height 50-100 cm)
Statement piece. Burns easily 200+ hours. We have them in hotel lobbies and churches.
Giants (height 100-180 cm)
This is not a candle, it is a sculpture. Custom-made for weddings, exhibitions, film productions.

Materials We Use
Every cylindrical candle is poured by hand in our workshop in Královské Poříčí, where we have been making candles for more than 20 years. We work with three waxes:
- Paraffin — longest burn time, sharpest colour, lowest price
- Beeswax — natural honey scent, golden tone, slow burn
- Soy wax — clean burn, soft appearance, holds fragrance well
Cotton wicks throughout. Custom diameters, heights, and colours produced to order within one week.

TOP 2: 7×15 cm pillar, red — romance and Christmas
TOP 3: 15×30 cm pillar, natural wax — for minimalists
TOP 4: 2×20 cm slim cylinder — advent wreaths and narrow holders
Special: Rainbow pillar 10×25 cm — for the adventurousPractical Notes for Cylindrical Candles
Trim the wick to about 5 mm before each lighting. Burn on a heat-resistant plate. Keep away from draughts — a flickering flame eats wax unevenly and shortens burn time. For 2 cm cylinders, expect 1-2 hours of burning per centimetre of height. For thicker pillars from 7 cm upwards, the first burn should last long enough for the melt pool to reach the outer edge, otherwise the candle tunnels.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a 2 cm cylindrical candle burn?
Roughly 6-12 hours depending on height. A 2×20 cm slim cylinder lasts about 10 hours of continuous use.How long does the largest pillar burn?
Our record is a 180 cm pillar that burned 450 hours — nearly 19 days non-stop.Does the wax drip on the table?
With no draught and a properly trimmed wick, the wax stays inside the candle. We still recommend a plate underneath.Can I order an exact diameter or height?
Yes. Custom production takes about a week. Tell us diameter, height, colour, and quantity.Paraffin or soy pillar — which to choose?
Paraffin burns longer and costs less. Soy burns cleaner and holds fragrance better. Beeswax sits between them with its natural honey scent.Need cylindrical candles? Send dimensions, colour, and quantity: 723 913 541 or info@svitsol.cz

Cone Candles –...
🔺 Cone candles – a shape that points towards the sky
The cone is perhaps the oldest candle shape of all. Why? Because when wax drips down, it naturally forms a cone. Our ancestors knew this, and we are building on it – with the difference that our cones don't drip on the table. We make them precisely, cleanly, and so that they look like small sculptures.
A story that no one will tell you
Last year, we did a wedding for a yogi. She wanted 30 white cones placed on the ground in a circle around the altar. "The cone points upwards, like our love," she explained. The skeptical groom watched as we set up the candles. Then they lit them...
You know what happened? All 150 guests fell silent. The flames created a circle of light pointing upwards, and it looked as if the entire space was levitating. The groom then admitted: "The first thing I bought after the wedding was 10 cones for home."
Since then, we know – a cone is not just a candle. It is a direction.
Why do people love cones? (And why do some hate them)
✅ Advantages of a cone:
- Looks luxurious – as if it belongs in a gallery
- Stable base – it won't fall over even if you kick the table
- Flame on top – the light goes straight up, it doesn't glare
- Feng shui approved – energy rises, it supposedly cleanses the space
- Instagram photogenic – every photo looks like it's from a magazine
❌ Disadvantages (let's be fair):
- Burns faster than a cylinder of the same weight
- More difficult to manufacture = more expensive
- Some people think it looks like a traffic cone (well, yes)
Our cone selection
🕯️ Mini cones (10-15 cm)
For the dinner table. Burns for 3-5 hours. Most often bought by restaurants – it looks elegant and is not expensive.
🕯️ Medium cones (20-30 cm)
A classic for the living room or bedroom. Burns for 10-15 hours. Also suitable as a gift – it shows that you put in the effort.
🕯️ Large cones (40-50 cm)
A statement piece. When you put it in the middle of the table, everyone looks at it. Burns for 30+ hours. Often bought by hotels and wellness centers.
🎨 Special editions:
- Rainbow cone – 7 colored layers, changes color as it burns
- Gold/silver – for Christmas and New Year's Eve
- Black matte – for gothic souls
- With relief – mandalas, ornaments, your monogram
Who buys cones and why?
Architects and designers: "It's pure geometry"
Yogis and meditators: "It helps me focus energy"
Restaurant owners: "It looks more expensive than it is"
Ordinary mortals: "It's pretty and it didn't drip on my tablecloth"
How to make a cone burn perfectly?
- Place on a flat surface – no tilted tables
- Let the first burn last at least an hour – this creates the right "path" for the wax
- Wick max 1 cm – longer = smokes and drips
- No drafts – the cone is more sensitive to wind than a cylinder
- A plate under the candle – just in case, even if it shouldn't drip
Frequently asked questions
Why is a cone more expensive than a cylinder?
More difficult to manufacture. We have to cast it in layers, otherwise it would collapse. We pour the cylinder at once.Does it really not drip?

Pyramid Candles –...
🔻 Pyramid Candles – Pyramids That Attract Attention
Do you know why so many cultures have pyramids? Egypt, the Mayans, the Aztecs... They all independently discovered that a pyramid is a shape that concentrates energy. We don't know if there's any truth to that, but one thing is certain – when you light a pyramid candle, everyone looks at it. It's simply hypnotic.
A Story That Changed Our View of Pyramids
A year ago, a man who collects minerals came to us. He wanted a black pyramid exactly 33.3 cm high. "It has to be a third of a meter," he insisted. He said it had something to do with the proportions of the pyramids in Giza. We made it.
A month later, he called: "I don't know how it works, but since I've had that pyramid in my office, I've been able to concentrate better. I need five more."
Placebo? Maybe. But since then, we've been making pyramids for programmers, writers, students before their final exams... And they all say the same thing – it helps them think.
What Makes a Pyramid So Special?
🧠 Psychological Effect
The tip points upwards = your thoughts do too. It's like a visual reminder to "focus." It works better than a Post-it note on your monitor.
🏛️ Architectural Element
A pyramid never looks random. Even if you just put it on a table, it looks like you planned it. Instant interior upgrade.
🔥 Unique Burning
The flame on top of the pyramid looks like a beacon. The light refracts on the edges and creates interesting shadows. In the evening, it looks like a small theater.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it true that a pyramid concentrates energy?
Scientifically? No. But a lot of people feel that way. Maybe it's just psychology, maybe not. Try it.Why is a pyramid more expensive than a cylinder of the same size?
More complex manufacturing. We have to pour it in layers and monitor the angles. One wrong step = crooked pyramid = in the trash.Can I have a pyramid with my own relief?
On the back, yes. On the edges, no – technically impossible. Logo, monogram, date – everything is possible.Which color is the most popular?
Black (30%), white (25%), natural wax (20%), the rest are crazy colors.Does a pyramid fit in a church?
Surprisingly, yes! We have parishes that use white pyramids during vigils. They say it symbolizes the path to heaven.
🔺 Fun Fact: The largest candle in the shape of a pyramid measured 8 meters and stood in Las Vegas. It burned for 2 months. We don't make them that big, but a 50 cm pyramid is also quite impressive.

Triangle Candles
Geometric Candles – Triangle Shapes Hand-Poured in Bohemia
A geometric candle in triangle form is the most stable shape you can put on a table. Three sides, three vertices, wide base, low centre of gravity – it stays where you place it. We have been pouring geometric candles by hand in Královské Poříčí for over 20 years, and the triangle remains one of our most-requested shapes.
The triangle is not a trend. Architects use it for bridges, builders use it for roofs, and we use it for candles because it works. When customers search for a geometric candle that actually stands on its own, they end up here.
Why the triangle works as a geometric candle
A square candle expands at the corners as it burns. A round candle rolls if the wax pools unevenly. A triangle keeps its outline until the last hour of burning. That is the practical reason for the shape – the rest is aesthetics.
The triangular silhouette throws sharper shadows on the wall than a cylinder, which is why interior designers order them for showrooms and photographers borrow them for product shoots. A row of three triangles of different heights on a shelf does more work than ten generic tea lights.
A true story (a little more esoteric)
Last year, a therapist came to us. "I need triangle candles for couple's therapy," she said. We looked at her, a little puzzled. She explained: "The triangle symbolizes a relationship – two people and their shared journey. When couples see a burning triangle, it reminds them that they are not just two, but three entities – him, her, and the relationship."
We made 20 for her. Half a year later, she ordered another 50. "It works," she wrote. "Couples buy them for their homes and light them when they need to be reminded of what it's all about."
Since then, we know – a triangle is not just geometry. It's a symbol.
Why people order geometric triangle candles
1. Symbol of the number three
Past – present – future. Body – mind – soul. Father – mother – child. The number three runs through religion, fairy tales and family structure. A triangular candle puts that symbol on the table without saying a word.
2. Original design
How many triangular candles have you seen in someone's living room? Exactly. Put one on the table and the first question is always the same: where did you get that.
3. Genuine stability
It will not tip over if a child runs past or a cat brushes the table leg. Wide base, low centre of gravity. That is geometry, not marketing.
4. The shadows
A burning triangular candle casts sharp triangular shadows on the wall. It looks like a small light installation – which is why these candles photograph well.
Our triangle selection
Equilateral triangles
Mini (7 cm side): shelf piece, fits between books
Medium (15 cm): the classic dining-table size
Large (25 cm): statement piece for the living room
Giant (40 cm): made to order, weighs around 3 kilogramsTall triangles
Taller than they are wide – a more dramatic silhouette, similar to a small mountain peak.
Special editions
- 3D effect: each side a different colour
- Striped: horizontal stripes, retro feel
- Galaxy: black wax with glitter
- Ombre: gradient from dark to light
- Set of three sizes: small, medium, large – stacked like Russian dolls
Who buys geometric candles from us
Couples: "It's about the two of us and our life together."
Mathematicians and engineers: "Finally a candle that makes geometric sense."
Designers: brutalist shape, minimalist aesthetic, fits a concrete interior.
Esoteric customers: "The triangle concentrates energy." Maybe yes, maybe no – we just pour the wax.
Parents of three children: "Each vertex is one child."
Companies: triangular logo? We make a corporate edition with branding on one side.Materials
We pour our geometric candles from paraffin wax, beeswax or soy wax, depending on the edition. The wick is cotton, placed at the centre of gravity so the candle burns down evenly through the body of the triangle. Scents are added from natural essential oils.
Practical uses
Family rituals: light it when all three are home.
Meetings: a triangle on the table = three agenda items, one for each vertex.
Meditation: focus on one vertex, then the next, then the third.
Anniversaries divisible by three: 30, 33, 60, 63.
Decoration: three triangles of different sizes, lined up – an instant arrangement.How to burn a triangular candle properly
- Flat surface first. A triangle on a slanted table is asking for trouble.
- First burn long enough for the whole top layer to melt. This prevents tunnelling.
- Trim the wick to 5–7 mm. Any longer and it smokes.
- Plate underneath. The candle is stable, but wax is wax.
- Rotate 120° after each use. The triangle burns down evenly that way.
Custom geometric candles
Basic sizes are kept in stock. For special requests – different colour, scent, engraved text on one side, corporate edition with a logo – we usually deliver within a week. Text on the edges is not technically possible; on one flat side it is.

Sphere Candles –...
⚪ Ball candles – when you want the perfect shape without compromise
Do you know what is the hardest thing to make? A perfect sphere. Every imperfection is visible, every bubble spoils the impression. A sphere is the most challenging shape to produce – and perhaps that's why it's so fascinating. When we succeed, it's like a small planet on your table. It shines equally in all directions and looks like it's levitating.
A story about a sphere that saved a party
Last year, a customer called in a panic. "In two hours, I have 20 people coming over, the power is out, and I don't have any candles!" We quickly delivered three large spheres to her – white, cream, and gold. She placed them in the middle of the table.
You know what happened? The guests thought the power outage was intentional. "This sphere lighting is genius," they praised. "It looks like a museum." To this day, she hosts "sphere dinners" – deliberately without electricity.
Since then, we know – a sphere is not just a backup light. It's a design statement.
Why are spheres so special? (And why are they so expensive)
🌍 360° light
A cylinder shines to the sides, a cone upwards. A sphere? Equally everywhere. It's the only shape that illuminates an entire room evenly. Physics, my friend.
🎯 Most difficult production
Try to make a perfect sphere out of wax. You can't just pour it into a mold like a cylinder. We have to rotate it, grind it, polish it. One sphere = 3x more work than a cylinder. That's why the price.
🧘 Zen factor
A sphere has no edges = your brain doesn't have to "decide" where to look. That's why a sphere is calming. Seriously, it's scientifically proven.
✨ Instagram magnet
Put a sphere on the table, take a picture, 200 likes guaranteed. A sphere is simply photogenic.
Our sphere selection (from ping-pong to bowling)
🏓 Mini sphere (⌀ 5-6 cm)
Like a tennis ball. Burns for 8-10 hours. Best in a group of 3-5 pieces. Often bought for weddings – one for each table.
🎾 Medium sphere (⌀ 8-10 cm)
A classic. Burns for 20-30 hours. One is enough for a whole weekend of romance. Our best-selling size.
⚽ Large spheres (⌀ 12-15 cm)
Like a soccer ball. Burns for 50+ hours. Weighs over a kilo. When you put it on the table, everyone falls silent.
🏀 Mega sphere (⌀ 20+ cm)
Made to order. Weighs 3-5 kilos. Burns for a week straight. We have one in the window – people take pictures.
Who buys spheres and why?
Feng shui enthusiasts: "The sphere harmonizes the energy of the space" (okay, we believe you)
Minimalists: "One perfect object > ten pieces of junk"
Photographers: "That light! That reflection! That symmetry!"
Restaurants: "It looks more expensive than it is"
Mathematicians: "Finally, a candle with the smallest surface area in relation to volume"
Ordinary mortals: "It's just pretty"
Practical tips (to keep the sphere a sphere)
- A plate is a must – the sphere can roll (no way!)
- The first burn = crucial – at least 2 hours, so that a "pool" is formed
- Rotate it – after each use by 90°, it burns more evenly
- Short wick – long wick = oval instead of sphere
- No drafts – sphere + wind = wax everywhere
Special editions (for the daring)
- Marble sphere: White with veins – looks like it's from Carrara
- Rainbow: 7 colored layers, changes color when burning
- Galaxy: Black with glitter – like a piece of the universe
- Earth: Blue-green – an exact copy of our planet (a hit on Earth Day)
- Disco: With glitter inside – when it burns, the glitter dances
Frequently asked questions
Why is the sphere more expensive than a cylinder of the same weight?
Production takes 3x longer. Plus, half of the spheres don't turn out perfectly = we throw them away. You're paying for the one that succeeded.Doesn't it roll?
It has a flat base (secret trick). But yes, it will roll on a slanted surface. Newton wins.Can I have a sphere with a photo?
Technically no. The photo would be distorted. But we can make a hemisphere with a photo – a compromise.What color is best?
White (40%), black (20%), gold (15%), red (10%), the rest are crazy colors.Does the sphere burn differently than a cylinder?
Yes – the flame is larger and "dances" more. It looks more lively. Wax consumption is similar.
🌍 Fun fact: The Earth is not a perfect sphere – it is slightly flattened. Our spheres are rounder than the planet you live on. So what, NASA?

Prism Candles –...
🟦 Prism Candles – When You Want Strength and Tradition in One
The prism is a shape for people who don't want to compromise. No rounded corners, no "maybe." Four sides, a sharp edge, a solid base. And also a story that will give you goosebumps – we have a prism mold that is older than your great-grandmother.
A 130-Year-Old Mold (This Isn't a Joke)
In 1894, a candlemaker in Bohemia had a brass prism mold with rays made. He believed that the rays "caught the light and dispelled the darkness in the house." The mold survived two world wars, communism, and the revolution. Now it's with us.
When we pour the wax into it, it's a ritual. The mold is heavy, we have to preheat it, and pour the wax slowly. Each prism from it is slightly different – sometimes the ray is deeper, sometimes shallower. It's like a fingerprint from the 19th century.
Customers who buy such a prism often write: "When I light it, I feel like it shines just as it did 130 years ago." And you know what? They're right.
Why a Prism? (The Answer Will Surprise You)
📐 Physics is on Our Side
The prism has the most stable center of gravity of all shapes. You can kick the table, the cat won't knock it over, it will stay standing during an earthquake. (We don't test earthquakes, but we believe it.)
💡 Light Show for Free
When the flame dances, the edges cast sharp shadows that move across the walls. It's like having a small theater at home. A cylinder can't do that.
🏛️ Architectural Element
Place the prism on a shelf – it looks like a sculpture. Light it – it looks like a lighthouse. In both cases, it looks expensive (even though it isn't).
🕰️ Nostalgia That Works
Prisms were made when there was no electricity yet. People used them because they lasted and burned for a long time. Today, we use them for the same reason + they look cool.
What Do We Offer?
📦 Modern Smooth Prisms
Square 7x7 cm: Basic model, burns for 30 hours
Rectangle 10x5 cm: Elegant, suitable for narrower shelves
Mega Prism 15x15 cm: Weighs 2 kg, burns for a week☀️ Historical Prisms with Rays (Limited Edition!)

- Gradient: Transition from black to white – modern art

Who Buys Prisms? (Surprising Statistics)
35% Architects and Designers: "It's pure geometry"
25% Collectors: Mainly the historical ones with rays
20% Restaurants: On the tables, it looks minimalist
15% Esotericists: They say the prism "grounds energy"
5% Mathematicians: Because... they are mathematicians
How to Care for a Prism?
- Flat surface – a prism on a tilted table = bad idea
- First burn 2-3 hours – a uniform "pool" must be created
- Rotate after use – rotate 90°, it burns more evenly
- Wick 5-7 mm – longer = it smokes and drips along the edges
- Handle historical pieces carefully – they are more fragile, the wax is different from modern ones
Customer Stories
"I bought a historical prism with rays for my grandfather (92 years old). He cried. He said they had such a candle at home when he was little." – Pavel, 45

Frequently Asked Questions
Is that mold really 130 years old?
Yes. We have documents from the restorer who dated it. It is from 1894, manufacturer J. Novák, Pilsen.Can I order a historical prism in advance?
Yes, but you'll have to wait. We make 10 pieces a month, the waiting time is 2-3 months.Why is the prism more expensive than a cylinder?
More complex production, we have to monitor all four sides. Plus, the historical ones are basically art.Does the prism burn differently than a cylinder?
A little faster (larger surface), but more stably. The flame is calmer.Can you make a prism with my logo?
On one side, yes. We make corporate prisms from 50 pieces.
🏛️ Final fact: The largest prism candle in the world weighed 500 kg and stood in the cathedral in Cologne. It burned for 3 months. We don't make that big, but a 15x15 cm prism is also impressive.

Mandala Candles with Base
🌸 Mandala candles with a base – a circle that holds together
A mandala is more than just a pretty pattern. It is a circle without beginning or end, a symbol that everything is connected. Our mandala candles with a base are like small altars – a stable base at the bottom, a perfect circle at the top. When lit, they create a special effect of central burning. The flame gradually burns the wax from top to bottom, creating a "U" shape in the middle. It looks like a mysterious temple of light is opening inside.
The story that inspired us
Last year, a yoga teacher came to us. "I need a mandala that will burn for 12 hours," she said. That's a sacred number in yoga. We made her a 25 cm diameter mandala with a double wick.
A month later, she wrote: "It burned for exactly 12 hours and 17 minutes. Those extra 17 minutes were a bonus." She sent a photo – the mandala had burned into a beautiful U shape. It looked like a small portal filled with light.
Since then, we've been making "12-hour mandalas." People use them for retreats, meditation, or when they need to end something and start over.
Why a mandala with a base? (It's not just design)
🎯 Stability, both physical and mental
The base = the candle won't fall over. But it's also a symbol – you have a solid foundation (the base) and infinite possibilities (the circle). Deep? Maybe. Does it work? Definitely.
🌀 The "U-shape" effect
As the mandala burns, the wax creates a deep U shape inside. The light then shines through the walls, casting soft shadows into the space. Some people find it hypnotic (in a good way).
🏛️ It looks like art
Place the mandala on a table – even unlit, it looks like a sculpture. When lit, it looks like a living sculpture. Win-win.
🧘 A meditation tool
Fixing your gaze on the center of the burning mandala is an ancient meditation technique. It calms the mind. Or it will put you to sleep. Both are good.
Our mandala selection
⭕ Classic mandalas (15-20 cm diameter)
The basic model. Burns for 12-20 hours. The base is 5 cm high. Most often white or cream. Universal.
⭕ Large mandalas (25-30 cm diameter)
A statement piece. Burns for 18-24 hours. When you light it, the room looks like a temple. Often bought by yoga studios.
⭕ Mini mandalas (10 cm diameter)
For the bedside table, in the bathroom. Burns for 8-15 hours. Cute, but still functional.
🎨 Special editions
- Colored mandala: 4-7 colors in concentric circles
- Gold/silver: With metallic powder, it sparkles
- Relief: With a carved pattern on the top
- Chakra set: 7 mandalas in the colors of the chakras
- Personalized: Your initials or date in the center
Who buys mandalas and why?
Yogis and meditators: "It helps me focus"
Therapists: "I use it in sessions with clients"
Couples: "We have a shared mandala, we light it on our anniversary"
Designers: "It's a functional decoration"
People in crisis: "When I don't know what to do, I light a mandala and just watch"
Instagrammers: "That light show! Those photos!"
How to use a mandala correctly?
- Place on a flat surface – the base is stable, but it doesn't do miracles
- First burn for at least 2 hours – the first deep center must be created
- Watch how it burns – each mandala burns differently, it's a living thing
- Wick at 5 mm – shorter = better burning
- Enjoy it – a mandala is not just a candle, it's an experience
Personalization (people love this)
For an extra, we will cut into the mandala:
- Initials (M + T)
- Date (14.2.2025)
- Short word (LOVE, PEACE, OM)
- Number (30, 108, 2025)
- Small symbol (heart, star, moon)
The text will appear when the mandala burns. It's like magic – the message will appear in the light.
Frequently asked questions
What if the mandala burns unevenly?
That's normal! Each one burns a little differently. The unevenness creates a unique pattern. It's a feature, not a bug.Can I have a mandala without a base?
We also have those – the "Mandala circle" category. But with a base, it's more stable and looks more elegant.What is the difference between a mandala and a circle?
A mandala has a symbolic meaning and often a relief pattern. A circle is just... a circle. We have both shapes.Does a mandala burn differently than a normal candle?
Yes – it burns from the center downwards, creating a U-shape effect. It's slower, more meditative. It's not a candle for quick light, but for atmosphere.How much does the 108-hour one cost?
. Yes, that number is not a coincidence. Esotericists will appreciate it.
🕉️ Mystical fact: In Tibetan Buddhism, monks create sand mandalas, which they then destroy – a symbol of impermanence. Our wax mandalas do the same – they burn, they change, they disappear. But the light remains in the memories.

Relief Candles
Relief Candles – When a Candle Has a Face and Soul
Imagine taking an ordinary cylinder and carving a face into it. Or a tree. Or an abstract pattern.

- Blue-pink: For romantics
- Red-orange: Fiery, energetic
- Purple-beige: Mystical, mysterious
- Green-gold: Forest, natural
- Custom combination: Tell us, we will mix

Christmas Candles –...
🎄 Christmas Candles – because electric lights aren't enough
Do you remember how Christmas smelled at your grandmother's house? Pine needles, cinnamon, honey, and wax. Christmas candles are all about bringing that authentic light and fragrance back to Christmas. No flashing LED strings from China. We handcraft them at our farm in Královské Poříčí, and each one is slightly different – because Christmas is never the same.
A story that touched us (and made us laugh a little)
Last December, a woman from Prague called: "I need 50 little angels for the kindergarten. Each child should have one." We made them – each with a slightly different face, a different smile.
After Christmas, she wrote: "The children named the angels. We have Pepík, Anička, even Darth Vader (he didn't turn out quite right). Some of the children didn't want to light the angels because 'they would feel sorry for them.' Now they have them on their shelves at home."
Since then, we've been making angels with "character." Some are smiling, others look serious. People choose them according to their mood.
What do we make for Christmas?
👼 Angels (bestseller #1)
From 5 cm babies to 20 cm guardians. White, gold, silver. Some children draw eyes on them with felt-tip pens (we don't recommend it, but we understand).
🎄 Christmas Trees
Mini (10 cm): For the plate with Christmas cookies
Medium (15 cm): A classic for the table
With gold/silver glitter: Sparkles like the real thing⛄ Snowmen
The only snowmen that will survive until April. We make them with a hat, a scarf (carved), a carrot (orange wax). Cuteness level 100.
🌲 Pine Cones
They look like real ones, they smell like the forest. Grandmothers love them – "like a walk in the forest."
⭐ Stars and Spirals
For those who want something more modern. Spirals create hypnotic shadows when burning.
🚀 Astronauts (yes, really)
It started as a joke. Now we have orders for "space Christmas." An astronaut under the tree = a conversation starter.
🔔 "Zvonkovka" (historical form)
A cylinder with bells and ornaments. The mold is from 1952. When we use it, it's like a time machine.

Pine: A classic. Smells like the forest. It's our best seller.
Cinnamon: Warm, sweet. Perfect with mulled wine.
