Description:
Sold as a set of 4 (one of each color) in a gift box. Hand made by Mayan Q'eqchi women from the seeds of the Arrayan tree, a native of the cloud forests of Guatemala. The waxy seeds are heated to provide a natural alternative to synthetic wax.

This provides families with an alternative income to help support their subsistence farming. This is also good for the cloud forest, with an income generated from the forest the Q'eqhi people have less need to cut the forest to make room to grow crops.

The Arrayn candles are used by the Mayan people to ask the Tzull Taq'a (God of the Mountain) for health, money, work, and abundance of crops as well as protection for their family and domestic animals. The scent and light of these candles are said to be capable of bringing together the Oxlaju Tzull Taq'a (the 13 Sacred Mountains).
