Color of the day: Gray Incense of the day: Hyssop Now is a good time to think about how you store your candles intended for magical and spiritual purposes. The best container for them is a wooden box, such as a cigar box. Paint, carve, or otherwise decorate your box with symbols of protection and fire, like a pentagram or dragon's eye. Whenever you put away your candles, trace a pentagram over the lid of the box with your finger. Then say: "Creatures of fire, now sleep tight Until I have need of your light." Keep the box of candles in a cool, dark place. Don't store them in the refrigerator or freezer. A closet is usually ideal. |
