Positive Energy Herbal Votive Candle, Yellow

A bright yellow votive from Crystal Journey's herbal line, scented with sandalwood, dragon's blood, frankincense, and saffron, and Reiki-charged by the maker. Positive Energy is a candle for clearing the air and lifting the mood, lit to unblock what feels stuck and call in a little brightness.

Yellow is the color of the sun and good spirits, and a votive is a short devotional light, easy to set down for a single, focused working.

The Spiritual Significance

A votive is a small candle with a short burn, named for the Latin votum, a vow or prayer, long set before altars and shrines as an offering. Crystal Journey blesses these as Reiki charged candles, passing the intention of Reiki, an early twentieth-century energy practice, into the candle as the maker's good wish; take that as the spirit of the offering rather than a claim about the body.

Positive Energy is the brightener. In color magic yellow belongs to the sun, the mind, and good cheer, and the scent backs it up: sandalwood for grounding, dragon's blood for protection, frankincense for cleansing, and saffron for warmth and good fortune. Lit when a room or a mood feels heavy or stuck, it is a small, deliberate way to clear the air and invite something lighter, the old gesture of bringing a flame into a dim corner, done on purpose.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the votive and set it in a votive holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name what you want to unblock or lift, and if you like, anoint the votive with a little oil.
3. Light it. Light the wick when a space or mood needs brightening, and let the flame and scent do their work.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and let the votive burn out safely in its holder.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this votive and the Positive Energy pillar?

This is a small votive for a short working. The Positive Energy Reiki Pillar is a tall 7-inch candle for longer burns. Same intention, scent family, and maker, in a different size.

What is it scented with?

Sandalwood for grounding, dragon's blood for protection, frankincense for cleansing, and saffron for warmth and good fortune, a blend chosen to lean bright and clearing.

How do I use a votive?

Set it in a votive holder on a heat-safe surface, cleanse it, name your intention, and light it. Votives are small and burn in one sitting, suited to a single focused working.

What does Reiki charged mean?

It is the maker's finishing blessing: Crystal Journey passes the intention of Reiki, an energy practice, into the candle. It speaks to the spirit of the candle, not to any effect on the body.

How do I burn it safely?

Keep it in a votive holder on a clear surface away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended.
