Set of 12 Black 'Protection' Spell Candles

What it is

Set of 12 Black 'Protection' Spell Candles is a ritual candle made to be lit with an intention in mind. Many spell candles include crystal chips, herbs or a printed theme.

Protection candles are among the oldest folk-magic requests: lit at a threshold, on a windowsill or before a journey. Black and white are the traditional protection colours, and many practitioners light a protection candle on a Saturday, the day of Saturn. A common modern ritual is to write the names of those you want to keep safe on a slip of paper and set the candle on top.

Black is the traditional colour of protection and of banishing what is unwanted. Styling: black looks dramatic on a gothic altar and crisp against white walls.

From the maker: Pack of 12 black spell candles for use with rituals to attract protection. Candle magic is one of the simplest forms of spell casting in which the caster decides on a goal, visualizes the end result and focuses intent or will to manifest that result.

Materials and size

Size: approximately 10.5 x 7.5 x 2.5cm, weighing about 120g. Allow for small variations between batches.

Traditional uses

Candle magic is one of the simplest folk-magic practices: a candle is chosen by colour or theme, an intention is set, and the candle is lit and left to burn safely. Colour associations are traditional and vary between practices; for example green with abundance, pink with love, white with new beginnings and black with protection. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.

How to use it

• For a protection ritual: a common modern ritual is to write the names of those you want to keep safe on a slip of paper and set the candle on top.
• Trim the wick to around 5mm before lighting.
• Burn it away from draughts, curtains, children and pets, and never leave it unattended.
• If it contains crystal chips, retrieve them from the wax once cool.
• Place it on a heat-proof plate or holder on a stable surface.
• Safety: always use a heat-proof holder on a stable surface, away from curtains, children and pets.
• Ventilation: a slightly open window keeps scent pleasant and smoke light.
• Gifting idea: pair it with a matching crystal or a holder for a ready-made ritual gift.

Care

• Store candles flat, somewhere cool and out of sunlight so the colour doesn't fade.
