The elderberry, the ancient sacred plant of Mother Holle, undergoes many transformations, from its fragrant, foaming blossoms in spring to its black berries in autumn and the falling leaves in winter. Yet its roots give it stability, and its branches remain flexible—a good example for us to navigate the numerous important changes in our lives.

In spring, the elderberry symbolizes the young, free, and unattached woman (white blossom), the red juice of its berries symbolizes the fertile, sensual woman, and its dark berries symbolize the wise old woman. Its message is to learn and take responsibility for one's own life.

The TRANSFORMATION candle also contains mugwort oil, another threshold plant that supports courageous pursuit of one's own path in all its facets.

Allgäu medicinal herb candles are handcrafted in a small factory, made from 100% vegetable stearin and a blend of plant extracts, medicinal herb essences, essential oils, and more tailored to the respective life theme. Their effect is similar to a fine incense burn: Transformed by the fire, the information and vibration of the extracts are released, supporting spiritual and mental intentions.

Allgäu medicinal herb candles are not scented candles in the traditional sense; they burn for up to 40 hours and are drip-free as long as they are not exposed to drafts.
