How to use it

Light the candle in a quiet moment, and many people pair it with a short prayer, affirmation, or intention connected to protection or courage. Some let it burn for a set period during a ritual and extinguish it when finished, while others let it burn down fully in one sitting — either approach is common, so follow what feels right for your practice.

Care & safety

Always burn the candle on a heatproof, stable surface, away from curtains, papers, and other flammable materials, and never leave it burning unattended or within reach of children or pets. Trim the wick to about a quarter inch before each use to keep the flame steady, and stop burning once about half an inch of wax remains at the base.
