Dark Moon aromatic jar candle

The Dark Moon aromatic jar candle is a handmade candle from Envision Crystal, scented with bay and topped with real bay leaves, made for the banishing and protective work of the dark moon. Each one is poured by hand, so the color varies from candle to candle.

The dark moon, the unlit phase before the new crescent, is the traditional time for release, banishing, and turning inward. This candle is made to carry that work: clearing what lingers and guarding your thresholds.

The Spiritual Significance

The dark moon is the unlit stretch at the close of the lunar cycle, just before the new crescent, and it has long been the time practitioners set aside for release, banishing, and inward work: clearing away what no longer serves before the moon begins to grow again. This candle is made for that turning. Bay, the herb scenting and crowning it, is a classic protective plant in folk magic, used to ward, to banish, and in some traditions to carry wishes; here it marks the candle as clearing and guarding work. Handmade by Envision Crystal, each jar is a little different. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it at the dark moon to release a habit, clear a space, or strengthen the boundaries around delicate work.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke or a light pass of salt over the jar and set it on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name what you are releasing or banishing, or the boundary you are strengthening.
3. Light it and let it work. Light the wick and let the bay scent settle the space as you hold the intention, ideally at the dark moon.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and mind the bay leaves near the flame, since dressed candles can flare.
