The Spiritual Significance
Figure candles give a working a form to focus on, and the cat is an old emblem of guardianship and good fortune. The association reaches back to Bastet, the Egyptian goddess shown as a cat or a cat-headed woman, honored as a protector of the home, family, and hearth. Cats carry a folk reputation for luck and for keeping watch, and a cat candle draws on that character: a small guardian presence for the altar. In red, the color of fire, the candle leans toward courage, vitality, and the boldness to act, pairing the cat's watchful luck with red's forward push. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; light it when a working calls for a little good fortune, protection, and nerve.
How To Use
- Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it on a heat-safe tray, since a figure candle pools as it burns.
- Set your intention. Name the luck, protection, or courage you are working toward.
- Light it and focus. Light the wick and hold your intention as the cat figure burns down.
- Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a tray, since a figure candle can pool and run.
