• Flowers, herbs, and bark to help enhance shadow reveal and connection.

The Shadow Work candle is made with the intention of helping you reveal and connect with your shadow self. It is recommended that you sit in meditation with the candle burning for at least 10 minutes with the intention of asking your guides to assist you in unveiling and working with the shadow. Following this you can sit in front of a mirror (with the candle still burning) while asking yourself questions surrounding parts of your emotional responses, life experiences, and current state. Determine if there are elements that you feel guilt, upset, detachment, or confusion towards. Following this you can write out your discoveries. It's important to allow emotions to flow and express yourself authentically without judgement. This process can be repeated as needed with the intention of integrating the shadow self and entering a stage of duality. This is a often a long (sometimes life-long) work, so be patient and know that the rewards of uncovering and working with the shadow are worth it!

Candle tips:
Herbs, flowers, and roots may cause the candle flame to heighten, smoke, or pop and crack. If you feel these herbs, flowers, or roots are causing a hazard they can be removed using a tweezers. The properties of these dressings are infused in the candle, removing them will not take away from the properties or effect. 

If you find that your candle flame is low, considering using a tweezers to remove crystals, large herbs, or flowers from softened wax. Soaking up some of the melted wax with tissue will help the flame burn higher and brighter. 

Candles should always be burned long enough for a layer of wax to pool at the top, this ensures that your candle will last longer and burn well (without tunneling) each time. This is true for almost all candles.

Remember that the overall burn or experience with your candle is another form of magick and divination. For example: If you have a full burn with little wax, or smoke on the container - your ritual candle had little blockages.
