Experience the captivating allure of Zephyr sealing wax, a luxurious and mysterious wax inspired by the enchanting world of Greek mythology.

In Greek mythology, Zephyr was associated with the romantic and passionate aspects of love, representing the gentle breeze that ushers in spring and awakens the heart. By using Zephyr sealing wax in your letters, you can tap into this romanticism and add a touch of enchantment to your correspondence.

Zephyr, one of the wind gods known as the Anemoi, personified the gentle west wind, carrying the sweet fragrance of spring and the promise of new beginnings. Often depicted as a young man with wings, Zephyr had the power to influence the movement of air and was associated with calm breezes and tranquil weather.

The story of Zephyr intertwines with the concept of homecoming, symbolizing the return to a familiar place, person, or state of being. One well-known tale involving Zephyr is the abduction of the mortal princess Chloris, who later became the goddess Flora. Captivated by Chloris' grace and charm, Zephyr whisked her away to a remote meadow. There, he transformed the barren landscape into a vibrant garden teeming with colorful flowers and fragrant blooms, a testament to his love for Chloris.

This myth highlights the transformative power of homecoming. When we return to a beloved place or reunite with loved ones, it can bring about profound change within us. Homecoming represents a sense of belonging, restoration, and the rediscovery of our true selves. Zephyr's actions in the myth demonstrate his ability to create a harmonious environment, mirroring the beauty and tranquility often associated with our own homecomings.

Furthermore, Zephyr's association with the west wind carries additional symbolism. In Greek mythology, the west was regarded as the realm of death, where the sun set and vanished beyond the horizon. As the god of the west wind, Zephyr embodies the journey back from the unknown realm, signifying a return to familiarity and comfort. His presence in the myth serves as a guiding force, leading Chloris back to her rightful place, both physically and metaphorically.

Additionally, the name Zephyr is a nod to my hometown, Zephyr Cove in Lake Tahoe. This stunning destination is known for its serene beauty and picturesque landscapes, making it a fitting inspiration for a wax that embodies the same sense of wonder and beauty. Use Zephyr sealing wax to add a touch of enchantment and a piece of your heart to your letters, and to celebrate the beauty of life's journey.

This wax set includes 7 wax seal sticks, that can either be used with a low-temp glue gun or a melting wax spoon.

Each stick is 4" long, and is made of a durable, yet flexible wax that can withstand the mail. To ensure delivery, I always recommend hand cancelling or using an outer envelope.
