An old folk name for the candle is Virgin Mary church candle.
That the royal candle is associated with light is not strange; it looks like a flaming torch, like a candelabra that lights up the night. Mary has long been associated in church tradition with the lit candle. Whether we consider ourselves Christians or not, we can consider Mary as a sacred feminine principle, which is present in nature through folklore.
With mullein flowers we can make an oil for light, for sun. This is especially nice to have with you during the dark season.
DO THIS:
Cover the flowers with your choice of oil. Strain after a month. The oil is especially good to apply to the heart area, or to touch the third eye. You can visualize yourself being filled with sunlight while applying the oil.

There are many more uses for mullein, as mullein is good in several ways. Both the leaves and flowers of mullein are used as tea. So take a moment to google and you will look at mullein with new eyes. It is not toxic.
