Cast Iron and Chime Candles

Cast iron is the witch's old, grounding metal, the stuff of cauldrons and hearths, heavy and steady and slow to move. Chime candles, sometimes called spell candles, are small candles that burn down in an hour or two, made for quick, focused workings where one flame carries a single intention from start to finish. A weighted iron base keeps that small flame upright and your altar safe.

How To Use

1. Set the holder on a flat, heat-safe surface, away from anything flammable.
2. Cleanse it in incense smoke or moonlight before first use, if that is part of your practice.
3. Seat a half-inch chime candle firmly in the holder and light it.
4. Never leave a burning candle unattended; chime candles are small but burn to the base.
5. Let the iron cool, then lift away any wax and wipe it clean.
