The Spiritual Significance

Crystal Journey makes these as Reiki charged candles: a finishing blessing in which the maker passes the intention of Reiki, an early twentieth-century Japanese energy practice, into the candle. Take it as the spirit of the offering, not a promise about the body.

Protection is the warding candle. In color magic black is the color that absorbs and turns aside, used for protection, banishing, and breaking up what is stuck, and the frankincense, sandalwood, rosemary, and clove blend carries old associations with cleansing and ward. Many people reach for it during Mercury retrograde, the modern astrological stretch blamed for tangled plans and miscommunication, or any time a space or a project feels like it needs a boundary drawn around it. Light it to clear the air and set that boundary while it burns.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it on a heat-safe surface or holder.
2. Set your protective intention. Name what you are warding or clearing, and if you like, anoint the candle with a little oil.
3. Light it. Light the wick to ward a space or steady yourself, and let it burn while you hold the boundary in mind.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and snuff it to relight later.
