Christmas Candles Arriving November 1st!
Meditation Candle Safety
Meditation candles, often used in spellwork, are a beautiful way to help you focus your intentions and clear your mind of distractions. However, if you're not familiar with burning candles that contain flammable organic materials, there are some important things you should be aware of:
-
Please note that every component of each meditation or spell candle crafted by Witchish is flammable, and the wax will melt and pool (these are not dripless candles). This feature is intentional, as practitioners often use the wax pooling patterns in their spiritual work.
-
NEVER LEAVE THESE CANDLES UNATTENDED WHILE BURNING! These candles are designed to stand safely in a cauldron, wide bowl, or plate. For best results, cover the base of your container with salt to catch the melted wax. Remember, you are the best judge of what constitutes safe burning conditions in your space.
-
When burning candles outdoors, ensure you have a way to extinguish the flame completely before leaving the area.
-
Always use common sense when working with fire.
-
If you feel uncomfortable burning the candle, it can still serve as a reminder of your intentions while adding a touch of beautiful decor to your space.
By keeping these guidelines in mind, you can enjoy your meditation candles safely and meaningfully.
General Candle Safety
​
-
Never leave a burning candle unattended: Always keep an eye on your candle, and extinguish it if you need to leave the room.
-
Keep candles away from flammable objects: Ensure that your candle is placed on a stable, heat-resistant surface, away from curtains, papers, and other items that could catch fire.
-
Trim the wick: Before lighting a candle, trim the wick to about 1/4 inch. This prevents high flames and soot buildup.
-
Use a proper candle holder: Choose a holder that securely fits the candle and is made of non-flammable material.
-
Avoid drafts: Place your candle away from windows, vents, and fans to prevent uneven burning or the flame being blown out unexpectedly.
-
Burn candles in a well-ventilated area: Ensure there is enough airflow to prevent the buildup of harmful fumes.
-
Don’t burn the candle all the way down: Stop using the candle when only 1/2 inch of wax remains, or 1/4 inch if it’s in a container, to prevent overheating and potential fire hazards.
-
Keep candles out of reach of children and pets: Place candles where they cannot be knocked over or touched by curious hands or paws.
-
Extinguish the candle properly: Use a snuffer or gently blow out the flame to avoid splattering hot wax.
-
Store candles properly: Keep them in a cool, dark place to prevent warping or discoloration, and away from direct sunlight.
By following these safety tips, you can enjoy the calming effects of your meditation candles with peace of mind.
Joy
The base of this earthy green candle is intended to be grounding and encouraging of new growth. The organic component of Joy is a sacred blend of basil, lemon peel, spearmint, linden flower, holy basil, dandelion, geranium, grapefruit, and Epsom salt, all meticulously hand-blended in a ceremonial process by Inyoni uMphefumulo. The gold band is to bring the two elements together and to enhance the abundance of each.
Joy truly lives up to its name—pure, unbridled joy in its essence!
This is more than just a candle; it’s a vessel for something truly special. Many healers would closely guard such a precious blend, so I felt deeply honored when Inyoni graciously allowed me to use her ceremonial blend in my Witchish Candles, so that I could share its magic with all of you.
Love & Abundance
Roses, the heart of love and healing spells, are revered as powerful symbols of love, embodying the essence of emotional connection and nurturing energy. Black tea, with its soothing properties, promotes mental well-being and emotional balance, grounding the spirit and calming the mind.
Jade salt serves as a protective shield, guarding against accidents and misfortune, while also blocking negative influences and discouraging harmful decisions. It creates a barrier of safety and clarity, allowing you to move forward with confidence.
Gold, a metal of divine resonance, is intimately linked to the Sun, symbolizing the highest stages of spiritual enlightenment. It is a beacon of abundance, drawing prosperity and positive energy into your life, and guiding you on your path to spiritual fulfillment.
Together, these ingredients form a harmonious blend, each enhancing the other's power, to create a potent spiritual tool for love, protection, and abundance.
