The Spiritual Significance

The triquetra, the three-cornered knot of interlaced arcs, is an old Celtic symbol of the threes that run through so much of spiritual life: maiden, mother, and crone; earth, sea, and sky; body, mind, and spirit; and in later use the threefold unity of many traditions. Drawn as a single unbroken line, it speaks of unity, continuity, and protective wholeness, the parts bound into one. Patchouli, the deep and earthy oil scenting this candle, is a classic grounding and abundance note in folk magic, drawing the energy down and steady and tied to prosperity and protection. Within this line, the Triquetra Patchouli candle is the flame for grounding and protection: steadying the practitioner, anchoring a working, and holding a protective wholeness across the days it burns. 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 name the grounding or protection you are setting.
2. Light it and tend it. Light it nightly, holding the triquetra and your protective intention in mind, 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.
