A Time for Everything There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. Celtic Work BlessingMay the light of your soul guide you. May the light of your soul bless the work that you do with the secret love and warmth of your heart. May you see in what you do the beauty of your own soul. May the sacredness of your work bring healing, light and renewal to those who work with you and to those who see and receive your work. May your work never weary you. May it release within you wellsprings of refreshment, inspiration and excitement. May you be present in what you do. May you never become lost in bland absences. May the day never burden. May dawn find you awake and alert, approaching your new day with dreams, possibilities and promises. May evening find you gracious and fulfilled. May you go into the night blessed, sheltered and protected. May your soul calm, console and renew you.LSJ article for the Great Lakes Folk Arts Festival held in East Lansing ,MI in 2004 Shellie Spitzley (Lansing, Michigan) Chandlery (candle making) Northern Delites CandlesShellie says that her involvement in candle making "all started along the Scottish border in 1768 when young Mary Margaret Kerr decided to learn the guild trade of her father Michael Levi Kerr--that guild trade was chandlery." In her efforts to make the Scott candles unique to their clan she would whittle into her stick candles symbols from the Scottish folk legends that she told to children. Mary passed the chandlery trade on to her seven children one of whom, Darius, immigrated to North America. Darius continued the tradition of rendering tallow for his wife Sophia who used it to make soaps, bath cubes, and candles, all bearing either the family clan symbol or the images from Scottish legends. Sophia then passed on the skills to her daughter-in-law Calista. Sophia and Calista continued chandlery when they moved with their husbands to Clare County, Michigan, and the two women passed on the tradition to Calista's daughter-in-law, Frances "Josephine" Cook, who in turn passed it on to her daughter Jacqueline Scott Walters. Calista's husband also taught Jacqueline how to render tallow.Although Jacqueline worked at a factory and became one of the first generation of women who did not earn an income from chandlery, she still continued to make candles as gifts to family members. She also taught candle making to her oldest granddaughter, Shellie Spitzley, who remembers making her first tallow-based candle when she was 8 years old as a Christmas gift for her mother. Today, Shellie Spitzley, under the name Northern Delites Candles, once again continues the long-standing tradition in her family of women making candles as a business.As Shellie observes "Chandlery has pretty much continued to this day with few changes, other than differences in styles. Mold technology has improved and new additives such as dyes and scents are available. Most modern candles are made of Paraffin, although beeswax candles are undergoing a recent surge in popularity and bayberry candles, while rare, are still made." Because of allergies to paraffin and tallow Shellie has had to make modifications: she has switched to soy wax and, instead of making sticks, she pours the wax into glass jars. As her grandmother did, however, she still uses only natural oil extracts and cotton wicks.Shellie's young daughter, Searra Rae Walters, is already assisting her mother so perhaps this tradition will continue into yet another generation.
