Description

Origin & Traditional Use

A candle holder holds a candle safely upright on the altar. In ritual the choice of holder matters, because a candle may burn for hours or over several nights. This black holder is made for pillar candles.

Uses in the Work

Use it to burn dressed and carved candles safely through a working, at the quarters, or on either side of a statue or sigil. Keep a holder dedicated to each kind of work, for example one for protection and one for love, so the energy is not mixed. Clean out the wax between workings and read the remains of the candle for messages about how the spell went. Pillar candles burn for many hours, so they are ideal for long workings and multi-night rituals.

Lore

In Victorian homes candlesticks were silver or brass, and black holders were reserved for mourning. In ritual a black holder adds the drawing, protective power of black to whatever candle it carries.
