White 4" Household Candles, Set of 72

A box of seventy-two white household candles, each four inches tall, with a three-quarter-inch base. Household candles are the plain, straight utility candles of spellwork: inexpensive, quick to burn, and meant to be used freely, a fresh one for each working.

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. White is the all-purpose color, standing for purity, peace, blessing, truth, and new beginnings. Above all it is the universal substitute: when you do not have a candle of the right color, a white one can stand in for any of them, which makes a deep stock of white candles the most versatile thing on an altar. It suits cleansing, blessing, peace work, and a clean start to almost any intention. The shorter four-inch size burns down quickly, suited to a single sitting, and a box of seventy-two means you need never be without the most-used candle in the craft. 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 blessing, peace, or purpose you are working toward.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, picture your intention, 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.
