These standard unscented household sized candles candles burn for about four and a half hours and are extremely popular in modern witchcraft, wicca and ceremonial magick.
6 inches high and ¾ inch in diameter, these are also useful if you need to scribe many sigils or words onto your candle for candle magick and a small chime candle just does not have the space.
Larger than the small spell or chime candles, these are great for larger more elaborate rituals, or spells where you want to burn the candle a little at a time over an extended period, or for group and coven rituals where larger candles are more visible and impressive.
Pick the color that matches your intention, dress the candle with oils, powders and herbs if desired, or scratch words, names or symbols into the candle using an athame or one of our popular burins or candle scribes!
Charge the candle with your desire/will. Either on an altar charging plate or pentacle or in your hand. “push” the energy you raise and your visualized outcome into the candle. Light it up and let it burn!
Always practice safety with candles, if left unattended then make sure it is on a surface that will not burn, or in falling over that there is nothing in reach that might burn. The standard advice is not to burn a candle longer than four hours at a time to avoid soot build up and debris in the wax which can start a fire.
