Lailokens Awen: Artisan Beeswax Candles Made with Hermetic Timing

Lailokens Awen is a Scottish artisan candle maker founded by Shawn Hebert, a practicing Druid Hermeticist, clinical aromatherapist, and herbalist. Each candle is handcrafted from pure beeswax using propolis-free stock and blended with organic essential oils chosen for their traditional energetic correspondences. What distinguishes Lailokens Awen from generic ritual candle brands is the production timing: Hebert creates each type of candle on the appropriate day of the week, during the corresponding planetary hour, and at the right phase of the moon and season, following Hermetic principles that treat timing as a functional part of the working rather than a marketing note.

The Spring Equinox candle is made on the day of the Spring Equinox itself, which means production is limited to once per year and tied to an actual seasonal event. The pink beeswax color is traditional for spring and equinox workings: pink carries associations with balance, new beginnings, emerging warmth, and gentle growth rather than the more intense red of passion or the white of purification. Slight color variations between batches are normal for naturally pigmented beeswax and reflect the handmade nature of the product.

Spring Equinox and Ostara in the Wheel of the Year

The Spring Equinox, known in Wiccan and neopagan tradition as Ostara, falls around March 20-21 in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the point where day and night are in equal balance before the light continues to increase. Ostara is one of the eight Sabbats on the Wheel of the Year and is associated with the goddess Eostre from Germanic tradition, spring fertility, the return of green to the land, and themes of renewal found across many cultural traditions at this time of year. Candles and altar workings for Ostara typically center on balance, new beginnings, planting intentions, and welcoming the growing light. Explore more Lailokens Awen ritual candles in my collection.

This candle is anointed with Spring Equinox Anointing Oil, a blend formulated by Hebert specifically for equinox workings, using essential oils with traditional spring correspondences. While intended for use on the Spring Equinox itself as an altar focal point, the candle can also be worked throughout the spring season whenever the practitioner wants to attune to themes of balance, growth, or the increasing light. The 4″ pillar size burns long enough for a full ritual working without requiring the kind of multi-hour commitment of a large pillar candle.

How to Use the 4″ Spring Equinox Altar Candle

The Tarot Fellow Standard

I stock Lailokens Awen candles because Shawn Hebert’s approach is genuinely different from most ritual candle brands. The Hermetic timing, pure beeswax, and organic essential oil formulas are not marketing language, they are the actual production process. The Spring Equinox candle is made once per year on the equinox itself, which means availability is limited and each candle carries a connection to that actual seasonal moment. If you observe the Wheel of the Year and want an altar candle that matches the seriousness of your practice, this one is worth having.
