The Spiritual Significance

These are novelty taper candles first, made for atmosphere: the dripping-blood effect gives an altar or a Samhain table a gothic, theatrical mood. In ritual use, plain tapers like these take on whatever intention you bring to the color and the moment. Red is the color of life force, passion, and active force, while the blood-and-darkness theme suits the work of the season the candles are made for: Samhain and the thinning veil, releasing the old, and the turn into the dark half of the year. The candles focus your own intention rather than acting on their own; light them to set a mood, to mark a Samhain rite, or to anchor a working of release and transformation, and enjoy the drama they bring to the space.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candles and stand each in a taper holder on a heat-safe surface, since they drip as they burn.
2. Set the scene. Arrange them on your altar or table, in a simple line or circle, and name the mood or intention you are setting.
3. Light them and focus. Light the wicks one at a time and let the dripping effect unfold while you hold your intention or simply enjoy the atmosphere.
4. Burn them safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep them clear of anything flammable, and use holders that catch the drips, since these candles run heavily by design.
