Journey Runic ritual candle

The Journey Runic ritual candle is a seven-inch candle marked with runes of the Elder Futhark and made as a focus for transformation: the start of a new path, a rite of passage, or a deeper turn in your practice. It burns at roughly an inch an hour.

The runes are an ancient Germanic alphabet long held to carry meaning as well as sound. This candle draws on that runic tradition to focus the intention of a journey begun, a light for the road ahead.

The Spiritual Significance

The runes of the Elder Futhark are an old Germanic alphabet long held to carry meaning beyond their sounds, each a symbol tied to a force or idea a practitioner can draw on in magic and divination. To mark a candle with runes is to write an intention in that older language of symbol. This Journey candle is set toward transformation and beginnings: the start of a new path, a rite of passage, an initiation, or a deeper turn in a practice. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it at the threshold of something new, naming the change they are stepping into, and let the flame mark the start of the road while they take the first real steps along it.

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 the change or new path you are beginning.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and let it burn as a focus for the journey ahead.
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.
