The Spiritual Significance

In Western elemental practice, water is the element of emotion, intuition, cleansing, and flow, called to the west of the circle and tied to the cup or chalice among the ritual tools. Practitioners work with water energy for emotional balance, for washing and clearing, and for the receptive, intuitive, dreaming side of the self. This candle, hand-rolled by Lailoken's Awen and dressed for water-element work, gives that energy a focus. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own; light it to call the water element into a working, to steady and clear your emotions, or to open to intuition and quiet inner listening, and let the flame mark the flow you are inviting in.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke or moonlight over the candle and stand it in a holder on a heat-safe surface, in the west of your circle if you cast one.
2. Set your intention. Name the cleansing, emotional balance, or intuition you are calling on the water element for.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, hold your intention, and let the candle burn for your working.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and use a holder, since a small dressed candle burns down fully.
