Long White Chime Candle, Set of 20, 1/2" x 5"

The universal substitute. White stands for purity, peace, and blessing, and the tradition holds it can stand in for any other color when you do not have the right one to hand.

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 white 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: C5WH

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.

White is the all-purpose color, standing for purity, peace, blessing, truth, and new beginnings. Above all it is the universal substitute: when you do not have the right color to hand, a white candle can stand in for any of them, which is why a stock of white chimes is the most versatile thing in the box. It suits cleansing, blessing, peace work, and a clean start to almost any intention.

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 blessing, peace, or purpose you are working toward.
3. Dress it, if you like. A little oil worked into the wax, toward yourself for drawing and away for banishing.
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.
