Welcome. You’re here now, and the world is quiet. You’ve found a place where there’s no need to rush, no need to think too hard. The day may have been long, and your thoughts might still be racing, but for the next while, let’s let all of that go. You’re safe, you’re warm, and we’re going to take a slow, meandering journey together—through time, through history, and into a world lit only by candlelight.
Tonight, we’ll be talking about candles—not just any candles, but the curious and almost forgotten world of candle shapes in the 14th century. It may sound like a small thing, even an unimportant thing. But in the quiet spaces of history, it’s often the smallest details that speak the loudest. In a time when there were no light switches, no glowing screens, no buzzing overhead bulbs—just soft flickers in the dark—candles were more than just light. They were comfort. They were timekeepers. They were symbols. They were everywhere, and yet hardly noticed. And their shapes? Well, those shapes told quiet stories of who lit them, who made them, who prayed beside them, and who watched them melt slowly down into silence.
