Place burning candle on heat proof surface. My candles are crafted for ritual use. I do not add any artificial or synthetic scents and feel that the natural smell of beeswax, herbs, and resins are best suited for magickal purposes. Each candle is individually made with care and attention to detail, ensuring a unique and beautiful addition to your altar collection. *Burn Responsibly* please place any and all candles on a non-flammable surface to catch wax drips. Each item is handmade so please allow for slight variations or small 'imperfections'.
