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. Pink belongs to Venus: love, tenderness, friendship and self-love. Burn it on a Friday in the hour of Venus. 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.

Lore

Pink was not a colour of magic in the old grimoires. It entered candle magic in the twentieth century as the gentle side of red, used for romance, friendship and reconciliation. In hoodoo, pink candles are burned to draw affection and to sweeten a lover.
