Candles

 

The Egyptians invented the first ever candles which were essentially wickless torches, they were made from reeds soaked in melted tallow. Chinese candles were made from pieces of parchment paper or rice papers rolled in tallow or beeswax. It was the Romans who created the candle as we know it today. Even after Thomas Edison invented the light bulb in 1875 candles are still a common characteristic in many homes in case of a power cut.

Today's candles are all shapes, colours and sizes. Though they don’t get used very often, but a candle creates an atmosphere unlike a light bulb and are used by witches for that very reason.
