The Adventurer

He is a new chandler who just started
to make candle last year and is very
passionate about non-toxic and vegan
candles. He started to make candles
because of the pandemic but he has made
his small business quite successful with
his 100% non-toxic and vegan candles.
He uses essential oils and coconut and
soy blend wax which is eco-friendly and
also is animal cruelty-free. He tries to
promote good health with his sustainable
candles and also informs the public on
how big companies con them into buying
low-quality products for low prices.

The Benevolent

She is a mother of two children: a
17-year-old daughter and an 11-year-
old son. Her daughter wanted to be a
chandler and as a supportive mother, she
bought the ingredients and materials and
helped her get her business started out
but in the end, the daughter gave up and
BreeAnna became full in charge of the
business. Fortunately for her, her little
son helped her a lot in the candle making
process as well as the packing and selling
process. Together they make the best duo
and have found love in being a chandler
as this gives her a chance to interact
more with people and be more empathic.

to make intention candles that are laced
with good intention. She makes mostly
custom made candles with specific
intentions to help the customer. As a

she makes. She is also willing to help
others and because of her empathic
abilities, can understand the pain of
people and want to heal them. she is very
in tune with pagan traditions and customs
and has candle scents for every pagan
holiday. For her being a chandler is a way
of helping people and staying in tune with
nature and her feminine side.

The Guardian

She has been a chandler for 3 years
now and uses only beeswax to make the
candles. The reason for this is because
she believes in the Christian and pagan
lore that bees are magical creatures
that can pass through worlds and their
beeswax contain magic that is essential
for prayers and rituals. She practices
both paganism and Christianity as her
ancestors were pagans, but she was
brought up a Christian. Being true to
her pagan self, she uses only organic
and self-harvested materials for her
candles. She identifies herself as a sacred
beekeeper and is devoted to protecting
them and be in their service. The bees
have taught her perseverance and
patience which has helped her a lot in life,
and in return, she is willing to sacrifice
anything to protect them. Lighting a
beeswax candle makes her feel close to
her paganism roots.

The Protector

She is the head of a non-profit
organisation that helps in cleaning
beaches, the ocean and spreading
awareness about coastal erosion and
marine pollution. She started making
candles last year when she heard
that students were making candles in
upcycling containers. All her candles
are in containers found on the beach
and they all have a marine life aesthetic
a hidden sea glass inside of them.
she is very devoted to protecting the
ocean and is often do not sleep to
care for the marine creatures. Being
an environmentalist, she uses only
soy way and sustainable ways to make
her candles. A part of the funds she
receives from her candles goes to
saving marine life.
