Not wonderful timing.

Money tight as heck, and the black pillar candle I use at my altar is now shorter than the other candles. (At my altar, I use 6 pillar candles. Five 3 inch candles, and one black 6 inch candle. The 3-inch candles are one each of white, blue, green, red, and purple. I then have one red taper candle and one white taper.) So it's going to have to be replaced soon. Since the black candle is specifically dedicated to Shao'Kehn, I only buy the best: 6 inch Abyss Black pillar candle from SomaLuna. It is the blackest candle there is; a lot of black candles are white candles with a black outer veneer. The Abyss Black candle is VERY black, all the way through. Of course, they're hand-made, so they cost almost $10. And they weigh almost 2 pounds, so it costs almost as much to ship. Luckily, they last a long time.
