There is yellow and there is yellow...

Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ This is a candle I have treasured for a number of years.
It has never been lit because I love its style and atmosphere as is!
In particular, I love the hint of "old gold", "old yellow" tone!
And the words inscribed on the open page are quite haunting!
The Wizard
Deep in your ancient castle chamber
on your magical spells do you labour
to protect your noble King Arthur's reign
against the dark forces of evil's domain.

HOT #105 ~ Yellow

In the strange darkness
Keep yellow spirits faded
Keep inner light lit
