Beeswax Candles are a very ancient tool that have been around since the dawn of civilization. They have been convenient, easy to make, find, and use. Our ancestors, when doing spiritual rituals, would use whatever was convenient in their surroundings. (this also
goes for herbs too). It’s not like in the movies, where they would have to go find the rarest items from the opposite corners of the earth. Practically speaking, when we focus our intentions into a candle, the candle symbolically continues to work on that issue, burning through the wax (i.e. our intention) until it’s completion. The spirit of the candle will continue working for us even when our mind is not focused on the issue. When we return to the ritual space, we also are reminded and refocused on the energy that we have put into that candle. Candles are great tools for assisting us with self empowerment in our lives. Intentions like burning a candle for a prosperity, love, sex, health, protection, assist us to focus our mind on manifesting our intentions.
