In the modern Wheel of the Year, the eightfold cycle of sabbats drawn together in mid-twentieth-century Wicca, that moment is Ostara, named for a goddess of spring and kept as a festival of rebirth, fertility, and new beginnings as the year leans toward summer. Lailokens Awen pours this candle on the day itself and anoints it with a Spring Equinox oil, so it carries the timing of the festival it is made for. Pink beeswax suits the gentle, tender quality of early spring. Light it as part of an Ostara rite, or any time you are honoring balance, planting an intention, or welcoming a fresh start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow To Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCleanse and set up.\u003c\/strong\u003e Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it in a holder on your altar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet your intention.\u003c\/strong\u003e Name the fresh start, the balance, or the renewal you are marking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight it.\u003c\/strong\u003e Light the wick during your Ostara rite or a quiet seasonal moment, and let it burn.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBurn it safely.\u003c\/strong\u003e Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and snuff it to relight later.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePairs Well With\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.plentifulearth.com\/products\/brass-universal-candle-holder\"\u003eBrass Universal Candle Holder\u003c\/a\u003e: a tray-style holder sized for the four-inch pillar.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.plentifulearth.com\/products\/big-book-candle-magic-by-jacki-smith\"\u003eThe Big Book of Candle Magic by Jacki Smith\u003c\/a\u003e: a thorough guide to candle work and seasonal ritual.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.plentifulearth.com\/products\/all-purpose-oil\"\u003eAll Purpose Blessing Oil\u003c\/a\u003e: a versatile oil to dress the candle before lighting.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.plentifulearth.com\/products\/sage-frankincense-smudge-stick\"\u003eSage and Frankincense Smudge Stick\u003c\/a\u003e: cleansing smoke to clear the candle and your space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.plentifulearth.com\/products\/goddess-pewter-pocket-stone\"\u003eGoddess Pewter Pocket Stone\u003c\/a\u003e: a focus for the returning goddess of spring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this only for the Spring Equinox?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is made for Ostara, the spring equinox, and poured on the day itself, so it is most fitting then.
