Description

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. Jar candles are used as devotional lights and for workings that need to be held over several days. These candles honour the Moon and the goddess in her phases, and are burned in lunar workings, devotion to Hecate and goddess rites.

Uses in the Work

A candle for the dark of the Moon, the hidden phase sacred to Hecate and the crone. It is used for banishing, endings, shadow work and secret workings. Burn it on the night of the dark moon, alone and without other light. Offer a dish of garlic, eggs or honey at a crossroads afterward and walk away without looking back.

Lore
