Celtic Illumination, a history of how it all started at the beginning

Celtic Knot Candles; a History.

Or: how to become a master candle maker.

It was about half past four o clock in the afternoon.
I was injecting cocaine directly into my eyeballs, no; sorry, I wasn’t.  I was having a cup of tea.  A cup of tea, and probably a biscuit.  I like biscuits especially plain ones.  So, I was having a cup of tea and a biscuit.  I was not injecting cocaine directly into my eyeballs, I mean, who injects cocaine at half past four in the afternoon?
Anyway, where was I?  Oh yes.  I was making patterns with this white powder.  The sugar I had spilled on the table.  I’m not a heathen.  I make sure that I am wearing evening dress, and I mean tails with white tie, not a skirt.  So I’m properly dressed, at the table, having a cup of tea and a biscuit when I had an idea.
I thought wouldn’t it be fantastic if I made a candle with a 10mm deep Celtic knot running all the way around it!
I know, it’s amazing the sort of ideas you can have when you are not injecting cocaine into your eyeballs.

So; that’s what I did.
