Throughout history, the traditon of crafting torches from dried mullein stalks has stood the test of time. These stalks are dipped in beeswax and rolled in dried flower petals. Valued for both their practical uses and symbolic meanings, mullein torches served not only as a light source but were also believed to ward off evil spirits and provide protection during ceremonies and spiritual practices. Known by various names- including Mullein Torch, Hag's Taper, Whitches Candle, Jupiter's Rod, King's Candle, and Candlewick-this remarkable plant is steeped in a rich tapestry of magic and folklore.
