About Pillar Work

Pillar candles are made for sustained intentions, the workings you tend over hours or days rather than a single sitting. A dedicated holder keeps that long burn safe and your altar clean, and the herbal and reiki pillars it is built for carry their own dressed intentions into the flame, from cleansing to healing to joy.

How To Use

1. Set the holder on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from anything flammable.
2. Cleanse it in incense smoke or moonlight before first use, if that is part of your practice.
3. Center a herbal pillar candle in the holder and light it.
4. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and keep long pillar burns in sight.
5. Let everything cool fully before clearing wax and storing the holder.
