The Spiritual Significance

Cedar is among the oldest of the cleansing and protective woods, burned and carried across many cultures for clearing a space and steadying its energy. Evergreen and slow-growing, it carries associations of endurance, grounding, and quiet strength, and its scent, deep and resinous, brings the stillness of a forest indoors. This votive pairs cedar with green forest notes for that grounding, earthy mood, and a green votive suits the work too, green being the color of the living, growing world. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it to settle and root themselves before meditation, to steady scattered energy, or simply to bring the calm of the woods into a room.

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 the grounding or steadiness you are seeking, or simply settle into the scent.
3. Light it and root. Light the wick and let the cedar scent fill the space while you breathe and ground yourself.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and let the small votive burn safely in its holder.
