Deadly Nightshade aromatic jar candle

The Deadly Nightshade aromatic jar candle is a handmade soy candle from Envision Crystal, topped with real deadly nightshade and made for banishing and protective work. Deadly nightshade is one of the classic baneful herbs of folk magic, used symbolically to cut through and drive off unwanted energy.

The Spiritual Significance

Deadly nightshade, also called belladonna, is one of the baneful herbs, the poisonous plants that folk and traditional witchcraft have long associated with banishing, protection, and shadow work. Their reputation comes precisely from their danger: a plant strong enough to harm is, in the symbolic logic of folk magic, strong enough to drive off harm. This candle uses deadly nightshade in that symbolic, protective sense, topping a banishing candle meant to cut through and clear unwanted energy and to guard your boundaries. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it for banishing work, for shadow work at the dark moon, or to reinforce the edges of a protected space. It is a tool for ritual, not for ingestion.

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, away from children and pets.
2. Set your intention. Name what you are banishing or the boundary you are guarding.
3. Light it and let it work. Light the wick and let the candle burn as you hold the intention, keeping the dressed herbs away from the open flame.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and wash your hands after handling the herb topping, since deadly nightshade is a toxic plant.
