Chime candle holder in Silver

Origin & Traditional Use

A small holder made to keep chime candles upright and steady. Chime candles are thin, about four inches tall, and burn in roughly two hours, so they need a holder with a narrow cup.

Uses in the Work

Chime candles are the workhorses of quick spellwork: a single focused intention, burned in one sitting. Many practitioners set several holders in a row or a circle, one for each person or element in the spell, or use a series of chimes over consecutive nights, lighting one each evening as the working builds. A metal holder also catches drips, so you can read the wax afterwards.

Pairs Well With

Chime candles in the colour of your intention, a dressing oil from our Oils by Solution range, and a little herb mix to sprinkle at the base.

Lore

Reading the wax left in the holder is an old folk practice called ceromancy. A clean burn is usually taken as a sign the work went through smoothly; heavy pooling or black soot suggests resistance that may need more work.
