The sacred art of candles: an age-old heritage
Since the dawn of time, a candle flame has built a bridge between our world and the spiritual world. From Egyptian temples to Buddhist monasteries, from Celtic festivals to Christian rituals, this living light has accompanied humanity's prayers and wishes.
Even today, lighting a candle with intention connects you to that ancestral wisdom: a simple gesture that invites you to slow down and refocus. The wax stands for grounding in the earth, the flame for the link with the sky.

The right day for each color
Each day of the week is ruled by a planet, and each planet has its color. Lighting your candle on the right day strengthens your intention: Monday (Moon) for silver and white, Tuesday (Mars) for red, Wednesday (Mercury) for orange, Thursday (Jupiter) for blue and purple, Friday (Venus) for green and pink, Saturday (Saturn) for black, gray and brown, Sunday (Sun) for yellow and gold.

Candle rituals: 3 things to know
1.
A new candle
Choose a new one, preferably made of wax, and use it for a single ritual only.
2.
Dress it
Rub it with olive oil from top to bottom with your thumb; for a banishing, from bottom to top.
✦
A few powerful combinations
💞 For love
Red, pink and white: 3 candles in a triangle, point toward you, to unite passion and tenderness.
💰 For abundance
Green, gold and white: 3 or 7 candles in a circle, the white one in the center.
🤍 For protection
White, black and purple: 4 candles in a square, like a shield.
💜 For spiritual awakening
Purple, blue and white: 3 candles in a triangle, point upward.
Whatever the color, it is your intention that gives the ritual its strength. The new moon favors beginnings, the full moon amplifies what is already underway.
