Origin & Traditional Use

A pillar candle is a thick, free-standing candle that burns for many hours, the traditional altar candle of churches and temples. Pillars suit long workings and are often carved and dressed over several sessions. These candles are burned to call on angels, spirit guides and ascended masters for protection, guidance and spiritual help.

Uses in the Work

For calling on the archangels and higher intelligences in ceremonial work, the guardians of the quarters and of the operator. Burn it during the Lesser Banishing Ritual of the Pentagram, calling Raphael, Gabriel, Michael and Uriel to the four quarters.
