I like to light a beeswax tea light when I do my meditative reading and sitting. I like the onyx feel better than the ceramic holder I had before, and it is more subdued than glass holders. The eight-pointed star is an interesting design choice, which I am enjoying.
The gentle light cast by this is perfect to create an intimate calming atmosphere. Especially effective when displayed in multiples. Buy more than one - you won't be sorry!
