Brass has long been a favored altar metal, prized because it does not tarnish easily and reflects candlelight brightly. The chamberstick form has a use all its own: the finger loop is made for carrying a flame from room to room, which suits it perfectly to house blessing and warding walks, where you move a lit candle through every room to bless and protect the home.

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. Seat a 1/2 inch household candle in the holder and light it.
4. To carry a lit candle, hold the loop and move slowly. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and shield the flame as you walk.
5. Let the brass cool, then lift away any wax and wipe it clean.
