My candles are about 6 inches tall and about 2 inches around. These are not "taper" candles-they are much thicker which allows them to stand freely on a plate, bowl, ground, or holder. Remember to store your candles in a container with a clean cloth to prevent them from getting dusty and to separate them. Then keep them in the freezer or cool basement until use so they remain fresh and keep their shape nicely. It is very important to care for your candles! They are a valuable tool!
Used Daily while Praying. These candles can be snuffed out and relit. Burns approx. 5 hours.

Key steps guiding candle magic:
- Establish your goal or desired outcome.
- Focus your will on the goal or outcome you desire.
- Light your candle to send your intention out into the Cosmos with the flame of the candle.
Always use a new candle for each ritual or spell. You may choose to inscribe your candle with a person's name, your intention or goal, or a sigil or symbol. Any sacred object may be used to inscribe your candle, most often this is done using one's athame, quill, nail or pin.
Anoint and dress your candle with oils, herbs or herb powders as desired when preparing your candle for ritual. Rub oil on the candle toward you (or up) to draw your desires towards you. Rub oil on the candle away from you (or down) to repel, send away or reverse malicious magic. Dress double action candles beginning from the middle, going up from the center and down from the center. You may seal your candle by kissing it or by verbalizing your intention over it while holding the unlit candle in your hands.
Light your candle with a wooden match or from the flame of a lit helper taper candle. Observe the way your candle flame burns, affects the wick, it smokes and the wax melts for signs that catch your attention.
Let your candle burn itself out for the best results. If you must extinguish your candle, do not blow your candle out, use a candle snuffer instead. NEVER LEAVE BURNING CANDLES UNATTENDED.
