  • Only oils and dyes explicitly approved for candles. No body oil, cooking oil, herbs, crystals, mica or food colouring in wax.
  • Wick, container, temperatures and curing follow your product specifications. Make a small test candle and perform a supervised burn test first. This calculation is not a safety certification.
  • Weigh everything in grams. Use a precision scale for small dye amounts; do not round to drops.

My spell candle

Your intention

White – cleansing, any purpose · Chime candle (≈2 h)

Where does everything go?

  1. 🕯 In a stable heat-resistant holder on a plate, 30 cm from anything flammable. Nothing on or around the wick.
  2. Add herbs on the left.

Steps

  1. Write your intention on paper and place it under the plate (not under the candle).
  2. Put the herbs in a small dish beside the candle, at least 30 cm from the flame.
  3. Light the candle.
  4. Let it burn while you stay with it; snuff it out if you leave.
  5. Keep dry herbs in a pouch or dispose of them in household waste; do not scatter outside.
  • Plain candle: do not roll it in herbs or powder, and do not dress it with oil – that's how candles flare.
  • Stand it in a holder on a plate, on a clear table: no curtains, paper or pets nearby.
  • Trim the wick to about 5 mm and keep a glass of water or a lid nearby.
  • Stay in the room. Extinguish with a snuffer or lid before leaving or sleeping.
  • Never put a candle on top of a spell jar lid or inside a bag of herbs.

Tradition, not proven effect. Burn time depends on the maker and your burn test.
