White Dinner Candle 21cm - Stearin Ritual & Altar Candle - Up to 9 Hours

Ritual & Altar Candle

Its plain white colour and unscented finish make this candle particularly adaptable for ritual, altar and ceremonial use.

White candles are commonly associated in contemporary spiritual practice with themes such as peace, clarity, purification, unity and new beginnings.

Those meanings are symbolic rather than guaranteed spiritual effects.

The candle can also be used entirely without spiritual symbolism as a simple source of warm, atmospheric light.

Church-Style & Prayer Candle Use

Its tall white form also makes it suitable for church-style, devotional or prayer settings where a plain unscented taper candle is appropriate.

It can be used during quiet reflection, meditation, personal ceremony or communal gatherings.

Always make sure the candle is held securely and upright in a properly sized non-flammable candle holder.

Up to 9 Hours Burn Time

Each candle is designed to burn for up to approximately 9 hours under suitable conditions.

Actual burn time may vary according to draughts, room temperature, wick length and the type of holder being used.

Keeping the candle upright, away from open windows and protected from strong air movement will help support a steadier burn.

The quoted burn time is a maximum rather than a guaranteed duration in every setting.

Unscented for Dining & Ritual Use

The lack of added fragrance makes this candle especially versatile.

It is suitable for:

• dinner tables
• weddings and events
• altar arrangements
• prayer spaces
• meditation
• ritual and ceremony
• seasonal décor
• intimate gatherings
• candlelit home settings

For dining use, the absence of fragrance means it will not compete with the aroma of food.

For ritual use, it also allows incense or other scented elements to remain the dominant fragrance.

Handmade in Indonesia

Each candle is described as handmade in Indonesia by a fair-trade producer.

The supplier states that the producer is WFTO certified and works with sustainably sourced palm-derived stearin.

As this is a handmade product, slight variations in finish or appearance may occur between individual candles.

These small handcrafted differences are part of the character of the product and are not considered faults.

Candle Holder Fit

At approximately 2.2cm wide, the candle is designed for many standard dinner candle or taper candle holders.

Always check the holder before lighting.

The candle should stand upright and securely without wobbling or leaning.

If the holder is too loose or too tight, choose a better-fitting holder rather than forcing the candle into place.

How to Use

Place the candle securely in a suitable non-flammable taper or dinner candle holder.

Trim the wick to approximately 3–5mm if needed before lighting.

Keep the candle away from draughts, open windows and direct heat sources.

Make sure the melt area remains clear of wick trimmings, matches and other debris.

Allow the wax to cool fully before moving or relighting the candle.

NB

This is a white unscented dinner candle measuring approximately 21cm × 2.2cm, handmade from vegetable stearin and designed to burn for up to approximately 9 hours.

The supplied source also contains unrelated copy describing a black scented “Black Forest” candle with cedar, juniper and lavender. Those details do not match this white unscented product and have not been included.

The source additionally mentions an eco gift box with cork coaster but also says the presentation format requires confirmation, so that packaging claim has been omitted until confirmed.
