Scorpio Zodiac Spell & Ritual Candle 12"x2" – Handmade, 60hr Burn Time

Scorpio Astrological Zodiac Star Sign Candle: 23rd October - 22nd November

When the sun enters Scorpio the life force is retreating into the dark, murky underworld. The growth is dying back and going into dormancy awaiting warmer, brighter days. Nevertheless, it stays alive in that underworld, regenerating its energy and inner resources so that it can burst forth as soon as spring comes around.

Scorpios draw on that inner resourcefulness, the hidden depth of their personal underworld. That is where they get their boundless energy from, which they apply to any chosen focus with single-minded determination. Where Libra only sees the beauty, Scorpio sees the beast lurking just behind. It has no qualms to draw attention to it either - though other signs will prefer to ignore it. That is one of the things that make Scorpio unpopular. Another is its tendency to protect its feelings by putting up an impenetrable wall. It can not stand to appear weak and will bite off its tongue in spite of its face rather than admit to its vulnerability. Where Libra likes to harmonise, Scorpio loves the contrast, the extremes, the tension created by disparity. It wants to penetrate and delve into the mysteries and is not afraid of any ghosts or ghoullies. It can be uncompromising, stubborn and unforgiving. If misdirected it can identify with the dark aspects of life and apply itself with total determination to the most perverted goals. But it seems as though Scorpio needs to go though its personal 'hell' and face its inner demons before it can be reborn and rise from the fire, purified and ready to soar like the eagle, the other symbol of this ambivalent sign.

Scorpio benefits from Uranus to raise his sights to cosmic dimensions. It may also benefit from Mercury as a means to express his unfathomable mind and depths of feelings.

Candles are widely used for spiritual and magical work. Ritualistic candle burning aids concentration on a specific magical intent. As you focus on the flame visualize your intentions being consumed and transformed into ethereal thought forms. Energy follows thought. To turn your dreams, wishes and visualizations into realities, follow thought with action, charged with the cosmic energy of the sacred fire. Our Astrological candles are charged with our unique magical infusions according to their planetary and astrological association.

CAUTION:
To ensure best results and minimise any possible dangers, please take heed of the following precautions: Burn candles for one hour per inch of diameter to ensure even burning. The wax needs time to warm up and melt. Burning the candle for less than the recommended time will usually result in a hole burning down the middle of the candle and the wick will eventually drown. Keep the wick trimmed to about ¼ inch to reduce smokiness and dripping. Always burn candles on suitable surfaces, preferably a candle holder or fire-proof dish, which will also catch any dripping wax. Don't expose lit candles to draughts as this results in uneven burning and excessive dripping. Keep candles out of sunlight to preserve their colours. Use your common sense when playing with fire. Keep candles out of reach of children and animals.
