Types of Candles you use?!

Post by valentinesummers20 »

This doesn't feel completely off topic but I decided to place this thread here!

I'm curious to know what sort of candles you use the most (for anything - from just lighting them up to ritual)
-Pillar Candles
-Jar Candles
-Shaped Candles
-Colored Candles
-Scented Candles
-Unscented Candles
-Votive Candles
and so forth!

When I make physical offerings, not the etheric ones, I use votive candles. I'm not all that familiar with candle magick but I think you want something you can scratch on and anoint with an oil so I don't know if you want one that will take 9 hours to burn down. So, it may just be what is most practical or aesthetically moving for you.

Same here. Not very fancy, but easy to use and cheap. And you can grave something on the surface before burning it, if you like candle magick.

But I also like beeswax candles when I have to perfrom a Blot at home and can't do it outside with a fire. The smell is somehow hypnotizing [pray]
