Beltane’s Blaze Ritual Mullein Torch from Rebel Craft Farm in Canada! (Beaverdell, BC). Custom created for this collaboration to celebrate the Beltane Fire Festival- each mullein stalk was individually dipped in beeswax, rolled in witch-grown flowers, and adorned with crystals and the glowing golden and green sacred colors of Beltane for rebirth, celebration, and inspiration. Instructions are included on how to safely burn it.
A Mullein Torch, or “Hag’s Torch” is an ancient magical tool historically burnt in protection rituals tracing as far back as Roman times. 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 during ceremonies and spiritual practices, much like smudging.
