FAQ
Scented Candles
Red is often associated with courage, protection, vitality and love. It’s used to energise intentions or honour passionate commitments. Always align your practice with your personal beliefs or community guidance.
Common practice is to place a candle beside a clear bowl or glass of water as a symbol of clarity and cleansing. Light the candle, breathe, speak your intention or prayer, and reflect quietly. When finished, extinguish the flame safely and discard or refresh the water with gratitude.
Three candles can symbolise balance of mind–body–spirit, faith–hope–love, or the past–present–future. Choose meanings that resonate with your tradition, and focus your intention on one theme per session.
There isn’t a single universal prayer. Many people speak from the heart—naming gratitude, asking for guidance, or holding someone in light. Others use set prayers from their faith. Keep the wording simple, sincere, and specific.
Candles are used in many Christian traditions as a symbol of Christ as light. Whether to use them in personal devotion is a matter of conscience and church teaching. If you choose to, keep the focus on prayer itself, not the object, and observe fire safety.
Scripture references lamps and light more than colour symbolism. Modern associations (white for purity, purple for devotion, and green for hope) come from tradition rather than explicit biblical mandates. Use colour as a personal aid, not a requirement.
Yes—many people find a candle helps them centre and focus. The candle is a symbol; the prayer is the heart of the practice. Choose unscented if you’re sensitive, or a soft herbal blend that won’t distract.
In many traditions, you can offer a short blessing: hold the unlit candle, speak gratitude, ask that it bring peace and clarity, then light it for a first intentional burn. Some communities have formal blessings by clergy—follow your faith’s guidance if applicable.
If you’re exploring how to make scented candles, start with a tested container, quality wax, and one wick. Melt wax gently, add the approved fragrance at the right temperature, pour into a pre-warmed vessel, and cure before lighting. Always follow safety data, keep loads within recommended percentages, and test in small batches.
From a creamy vanilla scented candle to breezy lavender scented tealight candles, and thoughtful keepsakes like a personalised scented candle, we’ve made it easy to shop the best scented candles without the guesswork. Value is important too—discover our edit of the best affordable scented candles, browse seasonal offers in our scented candles sale, and consider a calming aromatherapy scented candle for wind-down rituals.
