Taper Candles – Various Colours

Description Taper Candles – Various Colours Size: 1.8 cm x 23 cm | Approximate Burn Time: 8 Hours Available Colours: Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple, Pink, White, Black & Brown Taper candles are widely used across a range of spiritual and cultural practices—from ancestral reverence and altar offerings to ritual work, prayer, meditation, and spellcraft.

Colour magick, also known as candle colour correspondence, is the practice of aligning candle colours with spiritual aims, deities, or energetic work. Each colour holds symbolic meaning and is chosen intentionally to reflect or strengthen a desired outcome: Spell Candle Colour Meanings & Cultural Associations Black Spell Candle Primary Uses: Protection, banishing, cord-cutting, shadow work, spiritual defence, containment, and honouring the dead.

Working with Spell Candles Dress your candle with appropriate oil (e.g., Protection Oil for black, Money Oil for green). Carve names, intentions, or sigils directly into the wax. Use in combination (e.g. white red for healing a love wound). Place on a heatproof surface with herbs or powders beneath. Burn during psalm readings, altar petitions, or spirit offerings. These small but potent candles support focused spiritual work rooted in tradition. Whether you follow folk magick, conjure, or work within your own ancestral practice, colour matters—because intention deserves clarity. Candle Safety: Burn on a stable, heatproof surface. Do not leave burning candles unattended. Keep away from pets, children, and flammable materials. Remember, these associations are general guidelines, and personal intuition plays a crucial role in candle magick. Always align your candle choice with your intention and the energy you wish to manifest. Please adhere to these safety instructions: Never leave burning candles unattended. Trim the wick during burning. Coated candles like these may require more frequent trimming for an even burn. Always extinguish the flame before trimming the wick. Trim the wick to 0.5cm each time. Do not burn for longer than 30 minutes at a time. Keep lit candles away from children, pets, and flammable objects. Place candles out of direct sunlight and away from drafts and heat sources. Burn candles upright, securely standing in a heat-resistant candle holder. Maintain a distance of at least 10cm between burning candles. Note: Blowing out candles in spiritual practices, rituals, or spell work is discouraged due to potential energy disruption, symbolic implications of negating intentions, risk of introducing impurities, deviation from customary practices, and safety concerns such as hot wax splatter.
