Origin & Traditional Use

Plain household candles were the everyday light of homes before electricity, and rootworkers and cunning folk have always used them for spells, choosing the colour to suit the work. They are unscented and undyed through, so nothing interferes with the dressing and intention you give them.

Uses in the Work

A plain household candle, the workhorse of rootwork and ceremonial practice, for any working in its color. Green belongs to Venus and the earth: money, fertility, growth and the Venusian current of attraction. Burn it on a Friday. Carve, dress and burn it. These are perfect for altar lights, quarter candles, multi-day workings and practice. Keep a supply in every planetary color.
