New Moon Scented Lailokens Awen Candle, 4 inches

The New Moon Scented Candle is a small hand-poured Lailokens Awen candle made for new-moon work: the dark of the moon, when the cycle begins again and practitioners set fresh intentions for what they wish to grow. It is scented with sandalwood and rose, grounding resin beneath a soft floral.

The new moon is the traditional time for beginnings and intention-setting in lunar practice, and this candle is made to mark that turn. As with all their candles, slight variation in color and finish is the normal mark of a hand-poured candle.

The Spiritual Significance

In lunar practice the new moon, the dark of the moon, is the start of the cycle, the traditional time for planting intentions for what you wish to grow over the weeks that follow. Where the full moon is for fruition and release, the new moon is for beginnings: quiet, inward, a clean page on which to set a fresh aim. This Lailokens Awen candle is made to mark that turn, scented with sandalwood, a grounding resin long used in meditation and devotional work, and rose, a soft floral tied to love and the heart. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it on the night of the new moon, naming what they hope to begin or grow, and let the quiet flame hold the intention as the cycle starts again.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke or moonlight over the candle and stand it in a heat-safe holder on a stable surface.
2. Set your intention. Name what you wish to begin or grow in the coming cycle as you settle in.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick on the night of the new moon and let the flame hold your intention while you reflect.
4. Burn it safely. Keep it in view the whole time it burns, snuff rather than blow it out to continue across the cycle, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
