The Spiritual Significance

White is the all-purpose color of candle magic, standing for purity, peace, blessing, truth, protection, and new beginnings, and serving above all as the universal substitute when you do not have a candle of the right color. The pillar form gives that versatility a tall, steady, freestanding flame: a candle you can light and return to over a longer working rather than a single quick sitting. A white pillar suits cleansing a space or person, blessing a fresh start, holding peace, or general protection, and it stands ready in place of any color you lack. The candle focuses your own intention rather than acting on its own. Light it as a steady center for almost any clear, open intention.

How To Use

1. Cleanse and set up. Pass cleansing smoke over the candle and stand it on a heat-safe dish, since a pillar pools and runs as it burns.
2. Set your intention. Name the cleansing, blessing, peace, or protection you are working toward.
3. Light it and focus. Light the wick, hold your intention, and let the pillar burn for your working.
4. Burn it safely. Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and stand it on a heat-safe dish, since a pillar pools and runs.
