Frequently Asked Questions
-
While we dress our charged candles with oils and herbs, there isn’t enough added to give the wax a scent. If you prefer to burn scented candles, our Reiki Charged candles are a better option for you.
-
We recommend burning your candles on a heatproof surface away from drafts, disturbances, and flammable materials. This can be on a dedicated altar, a stove top, or even in an unused fireplace.
Candle magic serves as a focus for your intentions; it is best to keep different intentions burning separately on their own surfaces. Different intentions can burn in the same room. When burning multiple candles together, make sure the glasses are far enough apart to not touch.
-
Each candle has certain circumstances that let it work at its best. For our dressed candles, we list the best circumstances here.
If you cannot wait for the best day to light your candle, don’t despair. Life happens. Candles lit at other times still have an effect, though results may be less strong or slower to appear.
-
Our candles are designed to burn continuously. Unattended candles can be snuffed out and relit safely without affecting the candles’ intention.
Please do not blow our your candles for both safety and respect for the tradition they are dressed under.
-
Do not burn Enchanted, Dressed, or 7 Day Pull-Out candles if the glass is cracked or damaged.
-
The best thing to do with a used candle glass is place it in its own bag and respectfully dispose of it in the nearest waste receptacle. We don’t recommend reusing candle glasses for other intentions.
-
The timing of your results will vary based on what you’re trying to accomplish. Let seven day candles burn completely before trying to interpret results. Give most charged candles a week after burning to let its magic flow.
-
A glass clouded over in black soot indicates significant obstacles to your goal. You should consider doing cleansing or uncrossing work regarding your intention before burning anything else for that purpose.
-
There are multiple reasons why a candle might go out before it has finished burning. Try these methods to relight the candle.
Try moving your candle to a different location. The environment around your candle can affect how it burns.
If the wick has disappeared or is too short, use a lighter to melt the wax around the wick and pour out enough to clear a visible 1/4 inch. Manually digging the wick out can damage it too much to relight.
Try doing some cleansing, blockbreaking, or uncrossing work. There may be a spiritual obstacle preventing your intention from going through.
-
Sometimes magic manifests in surprising ways. If your candle cracks while burning, that can indicate a significant energetic release and breaking of blockages.
We recommend burning charged candles in an fire-safe container such as a metal pot or bowl for increased safety.
-
Our candle labels are designed to remain on the candle while it burns and enhance the intention behind the candle. We don’t recommend trying to remove the label.
-
We stand behind the quality of our candles and believe our customers years of successful intentions speak for themselves.
We also acknowledge that the power behind candle magic is a joint effort with the person burning them. Not every intention can be resolved in a single week. The best thing you can do for your intentions is to have faith in what you are trying to accomplish and its inevitable success.
-
Our charged candles come fully dressed with oils, herbs, resins, glitter, and prayers for successful outcomes. If you would like to enhance the strength of a candle, you can place a petition under the glass, leave offerings around the glass, or burn the candle on an altar space dedicated to your intention.
We do not recommend adding anything inside the glass of the candle.
-
Candle magic works best with willing, consenting participants. You may light a candle on someone else’s behalf the same way you might pray for them or otherwise send them well-wishes. As long as your intention is clear, the candle can still do its work.
-
All 7 Day Candles, plain candles, and figure candles are made from 100% vegan wax.

Enchanted Candles are carved by Head Apothecary & Candle Expert, Grace Oxley and are inspired by the work of Lady Rhea, author of The Enchanted Candle and The Enchanted Formulary. Each candle is carved with a sigil, oiled, and glittered with a specific intention, and appropriate offerings placed within the glass.
ENCHANTED CANDLES
burn for about a week when burned continuously; they have a set magical intention and are easy for beginners. Each comes with a written incantation you can read out to focus your goals for the candle’s magic. When you burn one of these style candles, write out on a piece of paper the names of any individuals involved and what you want to happen. This can be as detailed as you wish. Place the paper under the glass like a coaster before you light it. Please remove plastic cover and rubber bands, cardboard insert and incantation before you light it.
DRESSED CANDLES
burn for about a week when burned continuously; they have a set magical intention and are easy for beginners. Each candle has been “dressed” with a combination of oils, herbs, resins and glitter to magically invoke the desired outcome. When you burn one of these style candles, write out on a piece of paper the names of any individuals involved and what you want to happen. This can be as detailed as you wish. Place the paper under the glass like a coaster before you light it. Please remove plastic cover and rubber bands before you light it.
REIKI CANDLES
also have set intentions, and like the Enchanted candles they have optional affirmations/incantations you can read before you light them. Reiki candles are scented and have the scent mix listed on their labels or papers. Reiki candles can be burned in any type of candle holder or on a heat-safe surface.
PLAIN AND FIGURE CANDLES
are open ended in intention; you can dress them with oil, carve into them, apply glitter or herbs– they can get as simple or complicated as you like. Plain candles can be burned in any style of candle holder or on a heat-safe surface.

A Note from the Candle Makers on Candle Interpretation
The most powerful magic is your intentions.
Have faith in what you are trying to accomplish and its inevitable success.
Glass Interpretation:
The appearance of the glass after burning a seven day prayer candle may help you determine its outcome. Please let your candles burn out completely before interpreting their results.
Result #1
A clear glass is a good sign that your intention was received well. Some remaining wax in the glass is normal. White or light gray ash is a positive sign.
Result #2
A glass that is dark and smoky at the top but clears up by the time it reaches the bottom is a sign that your intention encountered obstacles, but that it worked through them. You may want to follow up the intention with another candle to continue the intention’s work.
Result #3
A glass that is black from top to bottom indicates that your intention encountered many obstacles, and it might be time to burn an uncrossing candle related to your intention before continuing with that intention.
Burn Times
If your candle burns completely in less than seven days, your intention is working quickly and powerfully.
If your candle extinguishes itself early, there are a few circumstances that could be taking place.
Try moving your candle to a different surface and relighting it; it may be burning near a draft. Candles for different intentions should be burned on separate surfaces as they may interfere with each other.
If the wick is too short to stay lit or disappears below the surface of the candle, melt the wax around the wick with a lighter and swirl the liquid wax around the sides of the glass until you have at least a 1/4″ of visible wick. Do not try to manually dig the wick out of the wax, as this will damage the wick and prevent your candle from being relit.
If your candle refuses to stay lit after taking the previous steps, consider what intention you are burning it for. Sometimes you will need to do uncrossing, cleansing, or block-breaking work to help the intention go through. Alternatively, sometimes the candle has finished its work early and the intention is already accomplished. Look for the effect of the candle to determine what may be happening.
