Description

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 invite calming into your life and home, to set the tone of a space and to focus meditation and intention on that quality.

Uses in the Work

For centering, calm and clarity: the inner stillness from which all strong magic is worked. Burn it before ritual to settle the mind, or after intense work to come back to center. Breathe in for four counts and out for four while gazing into the flame. White serves every purpose. It stands for illumination, consecration, purification and the Morning Star aspect, and it can substitute for any other color in a pinch. Burn it on a Monday or Sunday.
