  • ✿ This votive candle comes with one of twelve high-quality postcard prints of the album artwork. The postcards each have a unique digital download code for the album printed on the back. The candle is made of beeswax with sweet almond cream fragrance. It was created by making a silicone mould from a 3d scan and print of myself, in the pose in which I appear on the album cover. You can see a video of it burning along to "Almonds of the Present Moment" here: youtu.be/RUX8nNBT5IM

    ✿ Votive candles are used to aid prayer in many spiritual practices. I imagine them to clarify and illumine the intention of the one who prays, and to act as offerings to the forces that help bring about what is desired.

    ✿ This particular candle is modelled on the Greek Orthodox τάματα (tamata), votive offerings (often in candle form) that are dedicated to a saint, and act as a link between individual human desire and infinite, divine life force. I'm drawn to these objects because of the association for me with the healing power of art.

    ✿ This votive candle is the physical manifestation of Abundance.

    ✿ I light it to thank the life force for my continued creative transformation through music and song. I light it to illumine my path through future transformations, as long as I move and breathe. I light it to thank the life force for my return to the earth, once I move and breathe no more. I invite you to light it, to meditate on your own time and on all you wish to creatively transform in yourself.

    ✿ The Abundance votive candle was realised through the generous collaboration of Savvas Avraam at CYENS - Thinker Maker Space (3d scan and print) and Vasiliki Riala at ÷χρονικό (silicone mould and candle).     ... more

lyrics

As time draws near my dearest dear when you and I must part
how little you know of the grief and woe in my poor aching heart.
Each night I suffer for your sake, you’re the only man I love so dear,
I wish that I was going with you, or you were staying here.

I wish my breast were made of glass wherein you might behold
upon my heart your name lies wrote in letters made of gold.
In letters made of gold my love, believe me when I say
You are the one that I will adore until my dying day

The blackest crow that ever flew would surely turn to white
if ever I prove false to you bright day will turn to night.
Bright day will turn to night my love, the elements will mourn
if ever I prove false to you the seas will rage and burn.

And when you’re on some distant shore, think of your absent friend,
and when the wind blows high and clear, a light to me pray send.
And when the wind blows high and clear, pray send your love to me
that I might know by your hand write how time has gone with thee.
