Sandalo (Sandalwood) quartz tin candle

A small tin candle scented with sandalwood and topped with quartz crystal chips, made for cleansing and purification work. Sandalwood is the warm, grounding temple wood of South Asian devotion, long burned to settle the mind and clear a space, and the clear quartz on top is the all-purpose amplifier of folk crystal practice.

At about 120 grams in a lidded tin, it is made to go where you go: lit for a clearing at home, or carried to wherever you want its grounding scent close.

The Spiritual Significance

Sandalwood has been a devotional and contemplative fragrance for a very long time, burned at South Asian shrines and in meditation halls as a scent that settles attention and marks a space as set apart. In Western folk magic, Scott Cunningham's Encyclopedia of Magical Herbs lists protection and spirituality among sandalwood's powers, so it serves both cleansing and grounding work. Topping a sandalwood candle with quartz chips pairs the wood's settling, purifying character with the clear stone's reputation as an all-purpose amplifier. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; light it to clear stagnant energy, ground and steady yourself, or simply to mark a quiet, set-apart space while the scent fills the room.

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. Set your intention. Name what you are clearing or the grounding you are calling in.
3. Light it and tend it. Light the wick and let the sandalwood scent fill the space while you focus, 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.
