MARKET RESEARCH

We have conducted the market research which has given us the result that

there is great demand for candles in rural as well as in urban markets due to

frequent power cut in urban areas. Yet the candle has survived due to specific uses

it is put to viz; in churches as a religious relic, an essential item at birthday

ceremonies, to melt the sealing wax used to seal locks of factory go down etc. now

days candle is used for decoration in hotels and restaurant it is used in house as

showpiece.

MEANING WAX CANDLE

Throughout time, candles have also held some symbolic meaning. There are

candles for christenings, candles for holidays whether you are Christian, Muslim,

Jewish or any other religion and there are candles that reflect a deeper meaning,

whether it is a meaning of celebration or a meaning of love.

The colors of individual candles have different meanings as well and many

people, although not knowledgeable about the different colors, are at the very least,

interested in the meanings.

INTRODUCTION OF COMPANY & PRODUCT

V.P. Wax Pvt. Ltd has been established in 2010. It is located in phase

Industrial belt of Nain, Allahabad. The name of the product is Bright Wax Candle,

which we have recently launched in the market. We have started our form by

producing normal candles after observing the demand of the customer we decided

to launch Wax candle with various shape & Size Company’s main objective is

customer satisfaction.

HISTORY OF CANDLE

While the word candle came from the Latin candere, meaning "to shine,"

candles are thought to have originated several millennia ago (3000 BC) in Egypt

and Crete. The first candles were made from animal fat, also known as tallow. The

torch was a large variant of candle used especially for lighting bigger places,

usually outdoors because of the smoke they released. The Romans introduced

candles with wicks using them to aid travelers after dark and lighting homes and

places of worship at night.

During the middle Ages beeswax, a substance secreted by honey bees to

make their honeycombs, was introduced. Beeswax candles were superior to those

made with tallow because they did not produce a smoky flame or emit an acrid

odor when burned. Unfortunately, beeswax was extremely expensive and only the

rich could afford it.

Candle makers, known as chandlers visited homes to make candles. Using

the residents’ own tallow or beeswax, chandlers would dip wicks to craft tapers in

exchange for payment. Many of these chandlers also opened and maintained the

first shops that sold candles.

In Colonial America, women discovered that boiling the grayish green

berries of bayberry bushes resulted in a clean burning wax with a sweet scent.

Because the extraction of the wax from the bayberries was extremely tedious, the

popularity of bayberry candles soon faded.

TYPES OF CANDLE

SKULL CANDLE:

Use this for a thick skull! When you have to get inside someone's head, this is the

ticket. Ellegua, remover of all obstacles is at work here. Use Uncrossing Oil.

MALE FIGURE CANDLE:

This is used singularly to attract a man to come to you. We use this with a Female

Figure, and the Spell is to bring the lovers together. Both ways accomplish the

same thing; it depends on how you want to work it. Figure Candles are good for

developing visualization. I recommend burning these in front of a Come to Me

Candle or Hypnotic with Midnight or Mystery Oil. On the Figure Candles you

have a very potent combination. Burn Passionate Lovers Incense and you have

amour extraordinaire.

FEMALE FIGURE CANDLE:

This works the same way as the Male Figure, but here's a very interesting variation

for women who are shy, or just in a rut. Take your Figure Candle and anoint it with

either Passion Oil or Voodoo Nights Oil. Burn this in front of a Flirtation Candle

and you'll not only find yourself getting there to meet men, you'll be a {HOT}

number! Here's a little secret: having problems keeping a man once you've met?

Then burn a White Figure dressed with Femme Blanche Oil in front of a Femme

Blanche Candle.

CAT FIGURE CANDLE:

Luck is the key here and that's what those in the know of Voodoo use for their

gambling winnings. Anoint a Black or Red Cat Candle with Gambler's Oil, and

burn in front of a Lucky Seven Candle HINT: {your lucky numbers can be

inscribed on both your Lucky Seven and Cat Candle for extra Power} Need a

change of luck in general? Burn a Red Cat Candle dressed with Lucky Lodestone

Oil in front of a Solar Blast Candle that's been dresses with 9 Fruits Oil or Ode to

Joy Oil.

WITCH CANDLE:

Care to be a Witch someone Special? Then use a Red Witch Candle anointed with

Bewitching Oil and burns this in front of a Midnight

Candle. Both names should be included on the Witch Candle. Use Black Opium

Incense or Voluptuous Venus Incense while the party

Is there. The effects are DAZZLING.

DEVIL CANDLE:

Famous for their lucky attributes. Voodoo Root men use them often. You know the

phrase “Lucky Devil "? Well, these candles are anointed with Flying Devil Oil and

burned in front of an Uncrossing Candle. I've seen people with the worst problems

have them turn around. This works best on Red Devil's. If you can't obtain a Red

Devil Candle and you want to use this spell, then use a plain Red Candle instead.

CROSS CANDLE:

Did you ever hear the expression; “He has to heavy a cross to bear?” There is a

wonderful booklet written called Secrets of the Psalms. Burn an Uncrossing

Candle anoint with Hyssop or Uncrossing Oil. Use Hi John Incense and read the

appropriate Psalm over the candle. This works very well with all the Enchanted

Candles, but the best with Uncrossing, House Blessings, Healings, Solar Blasts and

the like. They are all right for Love and Money, but better when used for the more

Spiritual needs.

DEVOTIONAL FIGURE CANDLE:

Dolphins, Seashells, Unicorns, etc. In this case, choose what suits the spell. I have

found that if the Goddess or God wants an offering they will guide you to it. For

example: Erzulie's an Ocean Dweller, so Seashells are appropriate. To light a

Seashell Candle in Her honor will most certainly get her attention and appreciation.

SEVEN DAY SAINT CANDLE:

These mostly describe themselves. Usually a Prayer is included on the candle,

which will explain what the candle is for. If you're unsure and you are buying your

stock in a reputable store, the staff will be able to help answer some questions for

you. I strongly advise you buy your Magical supplies in a store with good vibes, as

these will absorb negativity, which will lessen the strength and Power of your

Spell. Some Deities will not even come when summoned if the supplies the spell is

conjured with are unclean.

MANUFACTURING PROCESS

For hundreds of years the basic "art" of hand pouring candles remained

relatively unchanged. In simple terms making a candle involved melting wax,

coloring, scenting and pouring into molds. Along the way, gradual changes were

made in the process and in the industry such as pouring into glass containers,

development of new types of molds and even pouring wax into sand to make

candles.

In our estimation, more changes have occurred in the hand pouring of

candles in past number of years than the previous 100 years. Companies and

individuals can now "accessorize" their operation to make the process of hand

pouring much easier.

Several of the early developments, which may not have been considered

revolutionary at the time, have made life easier for the candle maker. Two

examples include the pre-wick assembly and "blended waxes."

The pre-wick assembly has made life much easier for companies of all sizes

when making votives and container candles. Having the wick waxed, cut and a tab

placed on it accuser
