I use these candles every evening ( when I’m not traveling) on my altar during my meditation. I’ve also used many different types of candles over the decades, as I am a gen x lady, so I’ve been meditating for about 40 years. But these have become my mainstay. I also buy their multicolored pack. I like to go thru the colors of the chakras. I also use them for special ceremonies or “ spells” . They burn clean and last the perfect amount of time so I can burn the whole candle in one session.

These candles were picked up for a very special service that we hold every year called Blue Christmas. During this service we acknowledge that some during the holiday seasons don't feel like celebrating, and we lament the loss or struggles of those who attend. During this service we allow people to come forward and light a candle to represent their issue during the season. These candles were for that portion of the program. The people lit them and placed them in a bowl of sand. The candles are just the right size for this type of programming, and they looked good as well. Attempting to light them, was a bit of a struggle of its own, as these don't really have a lot of wick at their ends - you have to burn the wax a little before it gets to the wick. Once lit, they tend to burn quickly, ultimately forming puddles in the sand and the flame remained. It was a nice scene. The down sides of these are two = dripped, and difficult to light. Upside, aesthetically pleasing and not too expensive.

I ordered these because my wife’s asthma has gotten so bad I can’t use incense anymore but wanted something for my meditation practice. Maybe I expected too much, but in the listing description, it claims “No soot, drips or cracks to distract you…..” this was the first one I lit last night in my quiet meditation corner, guess it would have dripped all over the floor if I let it keep burning. Really sorta disappointed.

These burn in about an hour. Great for releasing negative energy or praying for someone else's soul. Just ordered more. They bend pretty easy so you can spiral . 💕

Arrives just like this - melted together in a mass, some bent and broken. Looks like it was left in hot area and then the candles melted and bent. Zero stars.
