The Spiritual Significance

Red belongs to the element of fire and is the candle color of passion, courage, and vitality. Practitioners reach for red in work touching romantic and passionate love, desire and attraction, but also bravery, strength, and the raw energy to act. It is the color of heat and forward motion, not calm. Household candles are the plain workhorses of candle magic, burned for offerings, daily devotions, and small single workings, which makes a red household candle a direct, affordable tool for putting fire behind an intention. Candle magic itself is ancient and nearly universal, the simple act of carrying an intention on a flame.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and seat it in a holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name the love, courage, or vitality you are working toward.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, picture your intention catching like a flame, and let the candle burn down for the working.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a proper holder, since a household candle burns down fully.
