The Spiritual Significance

A votive is a small candle with a short burn, named for the Latin votum, a vow or prayer, long set before altars and shrines as an offering or petition. Crystal Journey blesses these as Reiki charged candles, passing the intention of Reiki, an early twentieth-century energy practice, into the candle as the maker's good wish; take that as the spirit of the offering rather than a promise about the body.

Angel's Influence is themed for angelic blessing, the wish for guidance and comfort that runs through many traditions. Teal, poised between calm blue and the heart's green, suits that gentle, reassuring mood. Lit on an altar or beside a quiet moment, the small flame gives the longing a focus: a way to ask for help, give thanks, or simply feel less alone for the length of a votive's burn.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the votive and set it in a votive holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name the guidance or comfort you are asking for, and if you like, anoint the votive with a little oil.
3. Light it. Light the wick during prayer or meditation and let the small flame hold your focus.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and let the votive burn out safely in its holder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this votive and the Angel's Influence pillar?

This is a small votive for a short working. The Angel's Influence Reiki Pillar is a tall 7-inch candle for longer devotion. Same angelic theme and maker, in a different size.

For angelic blessing: calling on guidance and comfort, giving thanks, or keeping a small steady light during prayer or meditation.

How do I use a votive?

Set it in a votive holder on a heat-safe surface, cleanse it, name your intention, and light it. Votives are small and burn in one sitting, suited to a single focused working.

What does Reiki charged mean?

It is the maker's finishing blessing: Crystal Journey passes the intention of Reiki, an energy practice, into the candle. It speaks to the spirit of the candle, not to any effect on the body.

How do I burn it safely?
