How To Dress Herbal Ritual Candles

Dressed candles are a great way to put your intentions into the universe.  They are very easy to make, store, and gift!  Here is how we make our dressed intention candles:

You Will Need:

• At least one chime candle (Get some here!)
• Toothpicks
• Oil 
• Dry crushed herbs
• Plate

Instructions:

1. Dedicate & Cleanse

Decide what you want your candle to be used for.  Popular topics include love, prosperity, protection, sleep, cleansing, health, and positivity.

2. Carve Runes & Intention Words

Using a toothpick, carve runes, affirmations, or the intention of your spell candle into the wax.  

You want to make sure you carve fairly deep, it will make the herbs stick better!

Write your runes and words all over the candle.

3. Select Your Herbs

Decide what herbs you would like to use.  Make sure they are completely dry, and crushed into small pieces, then mix them all together.

Rose and rosemary are popular choices, as they can be used in any spell!

4. Oil your candle

Put a couple drops of oil onto your fingers (any kind works).  Now hold the candle by the base and rub the oil into the etchings: downward motions to draw in energy (like love and wealth) and upward motions to release energy (protection, purification, etc.)

5. Roll in Herbs

Spread your herbs evenly on a plate.  Lay the candle down in the herbs and roll it until it is covered (it doesn’t have to be perfect). Roll away from you to release energy and towards you to bring in energy.

Now Light & Meditate!
