Brass on the Altar

Brass has long been a favored altar metal, prized because it does not tarnish easily and throws candlelight back brightly. In Western practice it stands in for gold and the Sun, lending warmth to candle work for confidence, success, and clarity. A versatile brass holder like this earns a permanent place on a working altar, ready for whatever candle a working calls for.

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. Seat a taper or a narrow pillar firmly in the holder and light it.
4. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and let the brass cool before handling.
5. When the candle is out and the holder is cool, lift away any wax and wipe the brass clean.

Frequently Asked Questions

What candles fit this holder?

It is designed to take both regular tapers and small pillar candles up to three eighths of an inch wide, making it especially good for narrow reiki and intention pillars.

Why is it good for Crystal Journey reiki pillars?

Those reiki-charged pillars are narrow, and this holder's dual design grips them securely as well as it holds a standard taper, so one piece serves both.

Is brass suitable for any tradition?

Yes. Brass is one of the most tradition-flexible altar metals, at home in household shrines and ceremonial candle work alike.

Does it come with a candle?

No, the holder is sold on its own. Add a taper or a narrow pillar candle of your choice.

How do I keep it clean?

Let the brass cool fully, lift away any wax with a dull knife, and wipe it down. Use a brass polish only when you want to brighten the finish.
