Prepare Your Candle

When your candle arrives, carefully remove it from its packaging. Take off the top protective covering and straighten the wick, which may have been folded during shipping.


Setting your candle up properly ensures a steady and safe burn.



Set Your Intentions

The true power of your candle lies in the energy and intention you bring to it. Reflect on your goals: Are you calling in something positive, like love or abundance? Or are you seeking to remove negativity or harmful influences? Once you’re clear, you can anoint the candle with materials like Florida Water or other spiritual oils to enhance its power. This step aligns the candle’s energy with your intentions, amplifying its effects.

For attraction, rub the oil upward on the candle.

For repelling, rub the oil downward.



Write Your Petition

If you'd like, you can set a petition before lighting your candle. Adding a written petition can deepen your connection to your goal. Write your desires or objectives on a piece of paper in the form of a letter or a simple list. The way you fold the paper is significant:

📝 To draw something toward you, fold the paper downward toward yourself.

📝 To push something away, fold the paper upward, away from yourself.

Place the petition under your candle before lighting it to anchor your intention.


Light Your Candle

When lighting your candle, focus on your prayers or affirmations. Let the flame symbolize your dedication to the goal you’re working toward.


ALWAYS FOLLOW THESE SAFETY TIPS:

🕯️ Never leave your candle unattended.

🕯️ If you need to extinguish the flame, use a snuffer or your fingers rather than blowing it out to avoid disrupting the energy.

🕯️ You can snuff out and relight your candle daily until it has fully burned.



After the Candle Burns Out

Once your candle has finished burning, dispose of it promptly. For most candles, you can flip the glass over or discard it immediately. However, some candles, such as The Big Payback or Run, Devil, Run, require an extra step:


  1. Wrap the glass in a secure bag to contain shards.

  2. Take it away from your home or property.

  3. Break the glass responsibly and dispose of it in an outdoor trash can far from your space. This ensures that any residual negative energy is fully removed.



Using a dressed and blessed candle is a sacred practice, blending intention, energy, and spiritual focus. By following these steps, you’ll harness your candle’s full potential to manifest your desires or protect your space.


Always treat this process with respect and care, and remember that safety is essential.

May your candle burn brightly, bringing light, love, and blessings your way.
