The Spiritual Significance

Saint Michael the Archangel, San Miguel in Spanish, is the great protector of Catholic and folk-Catholic devotion: the archangel of defense and courage, pictured with sword and scales, called on to turn back evil and guard those who petition him. His candle belongs to that devotional thread, lit to ask his protection over a person, a home, or a working, and to draw on the strength and resolve he represents. Here the petition is carried in a quartz-topped tin, the clear crystal being the all-purpose amplifier of folk crystal practice. The candle focuses your own petition and intention rather than acting on its own; light it for protection, courage, and the steadiness to hold a boundary, and tend it with the respect a devotional candle is given.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the tin and set it open on a heat-safe surface, with the lid aside.
2. Make your petition. Name the protection or courage you are asking of Saint Michael, plainly and with respect.
3. Light it and tend it. Light the wick and let it burn while you hold your petition, then snuff and cap it when you are done.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and set the tin on a plate, since the metal grows warm.
