The Spiritual Significance

Imbolc is one of the eight sabbats of the Wheel of the Year, falling at the start of February, halfway between the winter solstice and the spring equinox. It marks the first stirrings of spring, the lengthening of the light, and the early signs of life returning to the land, and it is traditionally tied to Brigid, goddess of the hearth flame, poetry, and craft. The festival's themes are purification, renewal, and the kindling of new intention as the year turns toward growth. This Lailoken's Awen candle is made in white beeswax, the color of purity and fresh starts, handcrafted on Imbolc and anointed with Imbolc oil for that seasonal work. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it in an Imbolc ritual or simply to mark the turning season, clearing out the old and setting fresh intention for what they want to grow.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it in a holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name what you are clearing and the new beginning you are kindling for the season.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick during an Imbolc ritual or quiet moment, and let it burn as a focus for the returning light.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a proper holder, since the candle burns down fully.
