The Spiritual Significance

Red belongs to the element of fire and is the candle color of passion, courage, and vitality, the shade practitioners reach for in work touching romantic and passionate love, desire, and the bold energy to act. These drip candles carry that color with a dramatic, running finish: as they burn they pool and trail red wax down the sides, a moving, visual element some practitioners like to watch as the working unfolds. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; light the pair to back a love or passion working with steady fire, or simply to set a bold, warm tone for the altar.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candles and seat each in a taper or chime holder on a heat-safe surface.
2. Set your intention. Name the love, passion, or courage you are inviting as you settle in.
3. Light them and focus. Light both wicks, hold your intention, and let the drip run as the candles burn.
4. Burn them safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep them clear of anything flammable, and use proper holders, since drip candles run and pool by design.
