The Spiritual Significance

The black cat is, across much of folk tradition, a creature of good luck and a guardian of the home, and black in candle work is the color of protection, banishing, and the absorbing of unwanted energy. This soy pillar brings the two together as a candle for protection and good fortune. The clove that scents it is a warm, spicy resin long used in folk magic for protection, drawing money, and adding heat and drive to a working, which suits the protective, luck-turning intent of a black cat candle. Soy wax, pressed from soybeans, burns slowly and at a cooler temperature than paraffin, which many practitioners prefer for a clean, long burn. A substantial three-by-six pillar is made to sit on the altar and carry a working over time. As with all such candles, it focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it in a holder or on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name the protection or turn of luck you are calling in as you hold the candle.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and let the clove-scented flame burn through your working; relight across sittings as needed.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and let the wide pillar burn on a heat-safe surface.

How is this different from the black cat Reiki pillar?

This is a soy pillar scented with clove, three by six inches. The Reiki pillar is a paraffin candle blessed by Crystal Journey, seven by one and a half inches. Choose by wax preference, size, and whether you want the maker's Reiki blessing.
