Origin & Traditional Use

This is a scented jar candle made for a specific intention, poured into glass so it can burn safely for many hours.

Protection candles are burned to guard the self, the home and the temple from harm, hostile spirits and magic sent against you.

Uses in the Work

Burn it at the center of the house with black salt at each corner, or carry its flame to each threshold. Renew the ward at the dark of each Moon. Green belongs to Venus and the earth: money, fertility, growth and the Venusian current of attraction. Burn it on a Friday.
