The Spiritual Significance

Household candles are the workhorses of candle magic: plain straight candles, burned for offerings, daily devotions, and the many small workings that call for a fresh candle each time. Red belongs to the element of fire and is the candle color of passion, courage, and vitality. Practitioners reach for red in work touching love and desire, bravery and strength, and the raw energy to act, the color of heat and forward motion. The shorter four-inch size burns down quickly, which suits a single sitting's working, and a box of seventy-two means you always have one ready when a working calls for fire. 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 a 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.
