Red Chime Candles, Set of 6, 10"

Red is the candle of the strong feelings: love and passion, courage and vitality, the bright forward push of desire and will. This set of six red chime candles, each about 10 inches, is made for quick candle-magic workings in that key. Light one for a single spell and let it burn down in a sitting.

Chime candles, sometimes called spell candles, are small and quick-burning by design, sized for one focused intention rather than a long devotion. Six to a set, these keep red on hand for whenever a working calls for it.

The Spiritual Significance

A chime candle, also called a spell or ritual candle, is a small, quick-burning candle made for a single working. You pick a color for your intention, dress and light it, and let it burn down in one sitting; the short burn suits a focused spell rather than a long devotion. Candle magic itself is old and nearly universal, the simple act of carrying a wish or prayer on a flame, found in folk practice and religious ritual the world over. The tidy chart of color meanings most witches use today was gathered and standardized more recently, so treat the colors as a shared symbolic language rather than fixed law.

In color magic red is the color of the strong, vital feelings: romantic and passionate love, desire and attraction, but also courage, strength, and the raw energy to act. It is the color you reach for when a working needs heat and forward motion rather than calm. A red candle suits spells for love and passion, for boldness and confidence, and for putting vital energy behind almost any intention.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass the candle through cleansing smoke or moonlight, then stand it in a heatproof holder on a clear, non-flammable surface.
2. Dress it, if you like. Anoint the candle with a little oil while you focus your intention, drawing the oil along the candle toward you to call something in.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, name or picture your intention, and let the flame carry it.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it well away from anything that can catch, and let it burn all the way down, or snuff it rather than blowing it out to continue later.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between this and the Assorted Chime set?

This set is six 10-inch candles all in red, for love, passion, and courage workings. The Assorted Chime Candles are twenty shorter candles in ten different colors, for color magic across many intentions. Choose the single color you need, or the full palette.

What is a chime candle, and how long does it burn?

A chime candle is a small, thin spell candle made for a single working. These burn down fairly quickly, which is the point: you light one for one focused intention and let it finish in a sitting rather than relighting it over many days.

What is the color red used for?

In color magic red carries the strong, vital feelings: love, passion, and desire, along with courage, strength, and the energy to act. It suits workings for romance and attraction, for boldness and confidence, and for putting force behind an intention.

How do I use one in a spell?

Cleanse it, optionally dress it with a little oil while focusing your intention, then stand it in a holder, light it, and let it burn down. Many practitioners write the working in a journal and keep an eye on how the candle burns.

How do I burn them safely?

Always use a heatproof holder on a clear surface, keep the flame away from anything flammable, and never leave a burning candle unattended. Snuff rather than blow out a candle you mean to relight.
