The Spiritual Significance

Courage in candle work is the willingness to act in spite of fear, and red is its color: the shade of life force, of Mars in Western tradition, the one practitioners reach for when something has to move. This votive is charged with Reiki and made to support the brave choice, the boundary you have been afraid to set, the conversation you have been avoiding, the leap you have circled for years. A candle gives that nerve a small focus, a way to gather yourself before you walk in. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; it holds the room steady while you settle your nerve, and then the doing is yours.

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 what you are gathering courage for, as specifically as you can.
3. Light it and settle. Light the wick, breathe slowly, and let the flame hold steady courage in the room while you ready yourself.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a proper votive holder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Courage votive for?

It is a red herbal votive for the brave choice: setting a boundary, having a hard conversation, or taking a leap. Red is the color of action and willed forward motion.

How is courage different from confidence?

Confidence is the internal self-trust to take up space; courage is acting in spite of fear. The Confidence votive steadies you, while the Courage votive moves you forward when fear is present.

What does Reiki charged mean?

The candle has been blessed by a trained Reiki practitioner who channels energy into the wax before it ships, so it arrives carrying a courage intention to layer with your own.

What size is it?

It is a votive, meant to be burned in a votive holder. The size suits a single moment of nerve rather than a long, multi-day burn.

How do I burn it safely?

Set it in a votive holder on a heat-safe surface away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
