The pentacle, a five-pointed star drawn within a circle, is among the most recognized protective symbols in witchcraft and many folk traditions. Its five points are most often read as the four classical elements, earth, air, fire, and water, gathered under spirit at the crown, with the encircling ring binding them together in balance and protection. Worked into the lid of a tealight stand, the symbol turns a small flame into a contained, protected light, the pierced star casting its shape as the candle burns. A pentacle stand suits protection work especially, though it serves equally as a quiet, symbolic holder for any tealight on your altar or table.

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the stand if you like, and set it on a stable, heat-safe surface.
2. Seat the tealight. Place a standard tealight in the cup and set the pentacle lid in place before lighting.
3. Light it with intention. Light the tealight and let the pentacle anchor your focus on protection or whatever working you are setting.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and let the metal cool before moving it, as brass and iron grow warm.
