The Spiritual Significance

The cat has been a guardian and a sacred figure since antiquity, tied above all to Bast, the Egyptian goddess of the home, of joy and family, and of protection against harm. Cats earned that place honestly, guarding granaries and homes, which bound them to ideas of both protection and plenty. A cat candle carries that double meaning to the altar, and in green, the color of money, growth, and abundance, it leans toward prosperity work with a guardian's watchfulness behind it. Figure candles like this are lit as a focus for a working or an offering. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it to draw abundance while keeping a protective eye on home and household.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and set it on a heat-safe dish to catch the wax.
2. Set your intention. Name the abundance or protection you are calling toward your home or yourself.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and let the figure candle burn as a focus for your intention.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and burn it on a heat-safe dish, since a figure candle pools and spreads as it melts.
