✿ 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).

lyrics
What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul
What wondrous love is this, O my soul
What wondrous love is this,
To cause the Lord of bliss,
To send such perfect peace
To my soul, to my soul,
To send such perfect peace,
To my soul.
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb, I will sing
To God and to the Lamb,
Who is the great 'I am'
And Christ the son of man
I will sing, I will sing
And Christ the son of man,
I will sing.
When we're from sorrow free, we'll sing on, we'll sing on
When we're from sorrow free, we'll sing on
When we're from sorrow free,
we'll rise and joyous be
and through eternity
we'll sing on, we'll sing on
and through eternity
we'll sing on.
