Origin & Traditional Use

Ritual candles are candles made and dressed for one intention, with herbs, oils and colour chosen for the work. They are designed to be the focus of a single spell or ritual. Love candles are burned to draw love, strengthen a relationship, call a particular person to you or open the heart, one of the oldest purposes of candle magic.

Uses in the Work

For elemental and altar work: setting the quarters, balancing the elements and dressing the altar as a complete working space. Place them at the four quarters (air in the east, fire in the south, water in the west, earth in the north) and light them in turn as you call each guardian.
