Origin & Traditional Use

An herbal votive is a small candle, about two inches tall, blended with herbs and oils chosen for its intention and made to burn for around ten to fifteen hours in a holder. The word votive comes from the Latin votum, a vow, because votives were lit before saints and gods to carry a prayer. Empowerment candles are burned to build confidence, courage, motivation and personal power.

Uses in the Work

For personal power: confidence, courage and the sovereign will of self-deification. Burn it at sunrise on a Sunday, gaze into the flame, and speak aloud the person you are becoming. Anoint the brow with Sun or Crown of Success oil. Yellow belongs to the Sun and Mercury: intellect, communication, confidence and study. Burn it on a Sunday or Wednesday.

Lore

Self-deification, becoming a god rather than worshipping one, is the heart of the left-hand path. In Luciferian thought, the illuminated will is the true Morning Star.
