December 22 - Candle
Please don’t extinguish
the dancing flame within you
Burn the world instead
Don’t tempt me😏 🖤
Just stay clear of my street when you're burning stuff down....
*jots down addy in notebook labeled "NO BURN".
Half sheep fat, half cow
Makes for the finest tallow;
Human fat gutters...
.... is that true?
The sheeps fat/cow fat part is...I don't know about human fat but since humans are known as "long pork" I found this quote:
“A tallow candle, to be good, must be half Sheep’s Tallow and half Cow’s; that of hoggs mekes ’em gutter, give an ill smell, and a thick black smoak”

That is absolutely fascinating. I really want to know if anyone ever made a candle of human fat and what it was like. Gonna be my rabbit hole for the weekend, lol.
Time to burn that ‘bra
Douse it, light it, up in flame
Ooh, candelabra!
So pretty the way the wire melts... 🥹
