Celtic Weather and Wind Magic
In coastal Celtic folklore—particularly in the Scottish Highlands and Western Isles—there is a famous legend regarding "Wind Knots" bought from sea-witches or wise women.
The Myth: Sea-witches would take a braided cord and tie three specific knots into it, enchanting it with the power of the wind. A captain out at sea would untie the first knot for a gentle breeze, the second for a strong gale, and the third only in absolute emergencies to invoke a tempest.
The Candle Connection: A three-strand braided candle perfectly embodies this wind-knot folklore. As the flame burns down and melts through each woven intersection of the braid, it metaphorically "releases" the trapped intentions, prayers, or protective energies into the sea air.
