Bayberry candles, also known as 'myrtle wax' candles, have been a part of many households for centuries. Dating back to Puritan New England in the 17th century, bayberry candles were believed to bring good luck, wealth, and prosperity to a home. The candle was made from the wax-like coating of the fruit of the bayberry shrub, which grows in abundance in the Eastern United States.
