The Spiritual Significance

Samhain, at the close of October, marks the end of the harvest and the start of winter's dark, long kept as the witch's new year and the night the veil between the living and the dead grows thin. It is the season for honoring ancestors and the beloved dead, for warding and blessing the home as the year turns inward, and for divination as the future stirs. This Lailoken's Awen candle is hand-poured in black beeswax and anointed for that work: black for protection and for the deep, quiet turn of the season. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; many light it on Samhain night at an ancestor altar, naming those they honor and the protection they call into the home.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it in a holder on a heat-safe surface, on an ancestor altar if you keep one.
2. Set your intention. Name those you honor and the protection or remembrance you are calling in.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick and let the candle burn through your Samhain ritual, offering, or quiet remembrance.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a holder, since a dressed candle can flare near the herbs or oil.
