Star Tealight Stand, 3 1/2"

A small tealight holder topped with a pierced star cover, so that a candle set inside throws soft, star-shaped light across your altar. At about three and a half inches, it is a quiet, night-leaning accent for a meditation space, a windowsill, or a working altar.

The star has long stood for guidance, hope, and the night sky's company; this little stand brings that symbol to a tealight's gentle flame.

The Spiritual Significance

Stars have meant guidance and hope for as long as people have steered by them, the fixed lights that lead travelers home and fill the dark with company. A star above a candle is a small piece of symbolism: the flame becomes a star you can keep on the altar, and the pierced cover scatters its light in a star's image. As an object it leans toward the night, the inward, and the hopeful, a fitting holder for candles lit for guidance, dreams, wishes, or quiet evening practice. Like any such tool, it asks only a tealight and a match; the meaning lives in the symbol and in how you use it.

How To Use

1. Set it up. Place the stand on a heat-safe surface on your altar, shelf, or windowsill.
2. Add a tealight. Set a standard tealight in the dish and put the star cover in place.
3. Light it. Light the tealight and let the pierced cover cast its star-shaped glow during meditation or ritual.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, and note that the metal gets warm; let the tealight burn out in a safe spot.
