Today I am joined by Alysia Mazzella -- a traditional beeswax candlemaker and the author of Fourfold the Oracle, an oracle deck she created based on natural cycles of four. She is also the co-founder of Backland Gardens a project in upstate New York focusing on skill shares, education + self-sustainability.
WE DISCUSS /
*How she got into candle making -- a process that grew from a personal practice, honoring sacred time + a desire to be as close to nature as possible
*A historical narrative on human relating with bees and honey
*How bees model working relationships for social sustainability
*How having a livelihood directly related to bees orients her relationship to value and work
*Finding ethical, respectful, reciprocal ways of working with nature
*How bees teach her how to run her business
*Why local economy + purchasing from people you know is important for sustainability
*The benefits of beeswax candles compared to candles from other materials
*Why buying soy candles is supporting climate change
*Alysia’s personal practices with candles to hold sacred time
*The special spectrum of light from beeswax candles + how it interacts with our bodies
