Also called Zodiac or petitioner candles, Astral candles are crafted to represent a specific individual based on their birth sign. Place these candles in the center of the working space and burn either on their own with the intent to honor an individual, or to send healing or other good wishes to an individual. Use them in conjunction with other candles, lending additional energy to the intent.
We craft our Astral candles using two colors; a primary color which appears towards the top of the candle, and a secondary color which appears on the lower portion of the candle. These colors are chosen according to tradition to resonate with a particular sign of the zodiac, listed below.
We hand-dip our Astral taper candles starting with layers of the primary color. Then we add layers of the secondary color, followed by more layers of the primary color. Finally, we half-dip the candles in the secondary color so that both colors are visible.
We hand pour our Astral Tea Lights with the secondary color on the bottom, and the primary color on the top. The Tea Lights have the symbol for the zodiac sign molded on the top for and extra boost of intent.
Lastly, we dedicate and infuse both styles of candles with the energy of that birth sign.
Some ideas for lighting these candles could be:

Aries | March 21 – April 19 | White / Pink |
Taurus | April 20 – May 20 | Red / Yellow |

Elemental candles are crafted to represent each of the four major elements: Air, Fire, Water, and Earth. Place them in the four cardinal directions of the working space when you are seeking to cast a protective circle. Or if you are seeking to bring the energy of a specific element into your life, burn the appropriate candle individually.
We craft our Elemental candles from a single color chosen to resonate with that element. The colors and direction with which they are associated are listed below.
We hand-dip our Elemental taper candles in a single color. Our Elemental Tea Lights are hand poured in a single color and are molded with the Alchemical symbol of the element on the top. Both styles are then dedicated and infused with the energy specific to that element.

Magickal Symbol candles are most often used for quick Magickal work when specific candles are not available, or simply for enjoyment.
We craft our Magickal Symbol candles from a single color of wax. These candles are available in any of our major colors, or a blend of the primary/secondary Astral colors. Available colors and explanation of the symbols are listed below. We hand-pour all of our Magickal Symbol Tea Lights in a single color using molds with one of four Magickal Symbols on the top. The tea lights are then infused with positive energy, and good wishes for those who will use them. Each set contains one of each of the four Magickal Symbols.
Some ideas for using these candles could include:
Available Colors: White, Red, Yellow, Orange, Green, Light Blue, Blue, Purple, Pink, Gold, Brown, Black
Also available blended Astral colors*: Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces.
Pentacle: The points of the Pentacle represent the elements of Air, Fire, Earth, Water, and Spirit, circumscribed by a circle to represent that all are intertwined.
Triple Moon: Represents the three-fold nature of the Goddess – Maiden, Mother, and Crone.
Triskelion: The triple spirals of the triskelion have many meanings, some of which are – Earth, Sea and Sky; Life, Death and Rebirth; Past, Present and Future; Mother, Father and Child. The symbol has also been associated with the triple Goddess Bridget.
Triquetra: The earliest meanings of this symbol are to represent the three aspects of the Goddess. Over the years, it was adopted to represent the Holy Trinity to Christians in Ireland. It is also sometimes considered to be a rune of protection.
*Note: These blended astral colors are a mix of the primary and secondary color used in creating our Astral Taper candles. The wax remaining from the process of dipping the Astral tapers is melted down creating a completely individual color unique to each Zodiac/Astral Sign and can be used in the same manner as the Astral candles. For example, Gemini would be a blend of red (primary) and blue (secondary) yielding a unique purple shade.
