Were medieval candles any color other than white or brownish?
Medieval candles were made with either beeswax or tallow (animal fat), perhaps sometimes a mixture of the two. Wax candles were costly, while tallow candles were very cheap, difficult to handle, smelly and gave off large amounts of smoke and soot. Beeswax is a golden ochre colour, while tallow candles are white. Some Church beeswax candles may have been processed to make them as white as possible, since white was the colour of purity. Paraffin wax was not used for candles until 1854 (the modern era).

What are added advantages of using beeswax candles?
If there is one smell that intoxicates me, it's the smell of beeswax candles They remind me of my early childhood days at Waldorf when we used to make candles by dipping them over and over into into big buckets of beeswax. The beautiful scent of a beeswax candle relaxes me and it's also good to know that when I burn beeswax candles, I don't have the worry of toxins wafting through the house. Unfortunately, most candles are better left unlit because they are made of paraffin wax. Beeswax candles are, on the other hand, made by bees. Well not entirely, but you get the point. Bees work to make the honey for the wax. It is all natural and there are many advantages to using beeswax candles over paraffin candles. Paraffin (the wax) is made from vegetable, animal, and petroleum wastes. When you burn these substances, toxic substances have the potential to be given off in the flame. Have you ever seen black smoke coming from a candle flame? It occurs when the candle is getting close to being burned out because there is no more wax to burn. These are the chemicals being released into the air. Decorative candles of this type typically do not burn clean. When the wax re-hardens you will see the black residue in the wax. The wax creates a pitting phenomenon in the center of the candle and the wax also drips down the side and ruins the look of the candle. Another little known fact is that the wicks in the center of many candles contain lead. When burning the wick, the lead can be released into the air air around us. Yuck! Unfortunately, candles like this are mostly found at discount stores so they are in a lot of homes! People with respiratory problems should especially avoid being around burning paraffin candles (any parents with children that have asthma?) On the other hand, beeswax candles are a great alternative. Many people pass over them because they cost more and the large variety of scented candles on the market seem more appealing upfront. But there is much more to a beeswax candle than meets the eye: * They burn clean. That means no pollutants are released into the air. The air is actually cleaner because what is given off by the beeswax works to eliminate odors and other pollutants from the air. * For people who want to keep the shape of the candle, beeswax candles do not do any pitting when the wax is burned. In fact, the wax burns out towards the end of the candle. * Beeswax candles do not drip over. They continue to burn until there is nothing left. * They are not scented artificially. They do give off a smell of sweet honey. * The color of the candle is the natural color of the wax. * Beeswax candles burn longer than paraffin wax candles. For your twenty bucks you will get over 100 hours of candle burning pleasure. ~Cham11~
