Origin & Traditional Use

Herbal and soy votives are small candles that burn for several hours in a glass holder, scented or infused with herbs for a particular intention.

Uses in the Work

Burn it to lift a heavy atmosphere after difficult spirit work or grief, and in workings for joy, social success and lightness. Yellow belongs to the Sun and Mercury, so it suits communication and charm. Light it as an offering to playful or social spirits, and burn it while writing a petition for happiness.
