Origin & Traditional Use

Drip candles are made to run with wax as they burn, leaving trails and pools of colour. They are used decoratively on altars and bottles and in ceromancy, the reading of melted wax. In candle magic a purple candle is burned for power, mastery and psychic ability.

Uses in the Work

Drip candles whose flowing wax becomes an oracle, the art of ceromancy. Purple belongs to Jupiter: command over spirits, spiritual authority, expansion and psychic power. Burn it on a Thursday in the hour of Jupiter. Burn them over a dish of cold water or a white plate, then read the shapes the dripping wax makes as answers from the spirits.
