Ritual Candles

CANDLES USED IN MY RITUAL PRACTICE

I make every ritual candle by hand and prepare it individually for a particular ceremony. I do not use ready-made ritual candles or mass-produced products.

A ritual candle begins to take shape before a flame appears.

In my practice, making it personally matters greatly. From selecting the wax and preparing the wick to choosing the herbs and oils, every stage is part of the preparation for a ritual. It is a time of focus, silence and intention.

You can buy a candle in a shop, prepare it and use it in a ritual. For me, however, that is not the same as creating it with my own hands from the beginning.

When I work with wax, I know what I am preparing the candle for. I choose its ingredients and give it my attention. Before I light it, I already know its story.

My candles are made from beeswax, my own oils and herbs that I also gather personally. Their scent holds a memory of the earth, the warmth of the sun and the place where they grew.

A handmade candle does not have to be perfectly even. Sometimes it carries the trace of a hand. For me, that is where its beauty lies.

✦ HOW DO I CHOOSE A CANDLE FOR A RITUAL? ✦

You do not need to choose the number of knots or the candle level yourself. Once I understand your situation, I select the appropriate candle, materials and scope of the ceremony.

The candles described below are not sold or shipped as separate products. I prepare them exclusively for rituals I perform for clients. The cost of the appropriate candle and all other materials is already included in the preparation cost of the chosen ritual.

7-Knot Candle

Basic level

A candle intended for working with a less complex intention. It is made by hand through a process that includes preparing the appropriate materials and creating seven symbolic points of focus.

Each knot represents another stage of the working and helps concentrate energy on a particular purpose.

9-Knot Candle

Intermediate level

A more elaborate candle intended for an intention requiring more elements and a longer preparation process.

Nine points of focus create an extended structure for the working. Making this candle requires greater precision, careful selection of ingredients and additional time.

11-Knot Candle

Advanced level

The most elaborate candle, intended for particularly complex situations and demanding intentions.

It is created through a multi-stage process involving eleven points of focus. Each forms part of one coherent ritual structure. Preparing this candle requires the greatest precision, time and individual adjustment of every element.

I always choose the type of candle individually.
