Using Candles To Set The Mood
January 16th, 2008 by admin
There is nothing more intimate and relaxing than the gentle flickering of a tiny flame. Its delicate dance upon wind and wick is enchanting, casting a spell upon the watcher who gazes lazily into the light.
The ambiance that is created by the presence of candles is ethereal. Illuminating less than regular fixtures, shadows are cast on the space, making everything seem a little less real. The world is hazy, and wavering.
In such a space anything can happen. If you are alone, you may find yourself slipping into a phantasm. If you are with someone else, the dream may be shared. The possibilities are endless, and are dictated more by the will of your mind than by the realities of the world.
That is why candles are so romantic. They represent small, inefficient lights. Left in shadow we are less inhibited. Hidden behind a mask of darkness, it is easier for us to take a leap of faith, and easier someone else to accept your leap. Meanwhile, the flickering flame sets a rhythmic beat, a constant pulse of glow that acts as the backdrop to any situation.
Their romantic power is so overwhelming, that their mere presence can turn a mundane room into a passionate retreat. Try a few scattered around the bathroom, the bedroom, or even the living room. With the lights dimmed and the candles glowing, you can instantly set the mood, with little or no effort.
Candles are a powerful connection with a past set in darkness. Gentle yet passionate, they embody an idea of simple beauty, whose purity is its greatest asset.
