Long Red Chime Candles, Set of 20, 1/2" Dia 5" Long

The color of heat and motion. Red carries love, desire, and passion, but also courage and the raw energy to act, which makes it the candle for workings that need force behind them.

Small and quick-burning. About five inches by half an inch, sized to burn down in a single sitting, which is the point of a spell candle.

Twenty per pack. Chime candles are meant to be used freely, one per working, so a full pack keeps a steady supply.

• Set of 20 red chime candles
• Each approximately 5 inches tall by 1/2 inch in diameter
• Unscented spell and ritual candles
• Requires a chime or taper holder
• SKU: C5RE

A chime candle is made for a single working: pick a color, light it, and let it burn down in one sitting. That completeness is the whole design. A candle that burns out is a working that ends, and there is a tidiness to that which longer candles do not offer.

In color magic, red is the color of the strong, vital feelings: romantic and passionate love, desire and attraction, but also courage, strength, and the energy to act. It is what you reach for when a working needs heat and forward motion rather than calm. Where love work is concerned, the honest aim is your own warmth and a connection freely met, rather than compelling anyone.

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over a candle and seat it in a chime or taper holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name the love, passion, or courage you are working toward.
3. Dress it, if you like. A little oil worked into the wax, toward yourself for drawing.
4. Light it and let it finish. The candle burns down in one sitting, and the working ends with it.
5. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a proper holder, since chime candles burn down fully.

• Red Chime Candles, Set of 6: the same candle in a smaller set.
• White Chime Candles, Set of 20: the universal substitute, for the rest of the box.
• Kiss Me Quick Oil, 2 Dram: a love oil to dress them with.
• Brass Universal Candle Holder: a sturdy holder sized for slim chime candles.
• The Big Book of Candle Magic by Jacki Smith: a thorough guide to color and candle work.

What is a chime candle?

A small, quick-burning candle, also called a spell candle, sized for a single focused intention. You light it and let it burn down in one sitting rather than over days.

What is red used for?

The strong, vital feelings: love, passion, and desire, along with courage, strength, and the energy to act.

How is this different from the set of six?

Same candle, larger quantity: twenty rather than six, for those who work love and courage spells often.

Can I use it to compel someone?

The honest aim of love work is your own warmth and a connection freely met, rather than overriding anyone's will. Light it to warm your own readiness.

How do I burn them safely?

Seat each candle in a proper holder on a heat-safe surface away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
