They are nothing more than a properly-trimmed and dried plant which is subsequently soaked in tallow. These long strips are then burned in special holders designed to simplify the frequent adjustment of the rush required as it is consumed by the flame. http://www.lightlink.com/rhiannon/Bedwyrs%20handouts/Bedwyrs%20Lighting/rushlights.html Wed, 26 Jan 2005 20:08:18 GMT https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/link.php?action=detail&id=4587 https://moas.atlantia.sca.org/archive/wsnlinks/comments.php?id=4587
