The Spiritual Significance

The Triple Goddess, in her faces of Maiden, Mother, and Crone, is one of the central images of modern Goddess worship and Wicca, marking the three stages of a life and the waxing, full, and waning of the moon. The Maiden is beginnings and possibility, the Mother is fullness and nurture, the Crone is wisdom and the turning toward rest, and together they hold the whole turning cycle. Keeping a flame for the three maidens honors that cycle and the divine feminine across all her phases. Benzoin, the resin scenting this candle, is warm and balsamic, long burned to purify a space and bring peace, soothing a room and settling the energy, a gentle partner to devotional work. Within this line, the Three Maidens candle is the flame for the triple Goddess: devotion across her phases, purification, and the steady peace of a cleansed and blessed space. It is a consecrated devotional object, and its work belongs to the altar.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Place the jar on a heat-safe surface on your altar and dedicate it to the Goddess in whichever face you are honoring, or to all three.
2. Light it and tend it. Light it nightly, naming your devotion or the peace and purification you are calling in, and let the flame burn as long as you can sit with it.
3. Snuff between sittings. Snuff rather than blow the flame out when you leave the room; a lit jar candle should never burn unattended.
4. Burn it safely. Keep it clear of anything flammable and where it cannot be knocked, and let the glass cool before moving it.
