Label carries a space for your name, birthdate, and petition
-
Approximately seven days of continuous burn
-

How to use it
-
Clear before you ward. A wall built around an uncleared space keeps the problem in with you — the single most common error in strong protection work.
-
Write your full name, birthdate, and what you are warding against directly on the label before the first lighting.
-
Traditionally lit on a Saturday, the day of Saturn and of boundaries, or during a waning moon.
-
Use it for sustained conditions — an ongoing conflict, a period of exposure — rather than as daily maintenance. For everyday work a mist is proportionate and this is not.
-
Keep the obsidian at a threshold: a doorway, a windowsill, the edge of a desk.

✨ Temple Tip — proportion is the whole skill in protection work
Reaching for the heaviest formula first is the beginner's move, and it tends to leave you with nothing left to escalate to. Start with a mist for ordinary weeks, save this for genuinely sustained conditions, and the difference between the two stays meaningful.
Questions we get asked
How is this different from Protection Spray?
Scale and duration. The spray is a reactive, portable, two-second reset for ordinary days. This is a seven-day working for a sustained condition. Most practitioners keep both and use the spray far more often.
Do I have to clear first?
It is strongly advised. Warding an uncleared space seals the problem in rather than out — which is why uncrossing sits before protection in almost every working order.
What is the Fiery Wall of Protection formula?
A named hoodoo protection formula with roots in folk-Catholic prayer tradition. It has been in use long enough to have several regional variants, so recipes differ between makers.
Can I burn it in shorter sessions?
Yes. Snuff rather than blow it out and relight at the same hour. Continuous burn is traditional but not required, and unattended burning is never worth it.
What should I do with the obsidian afterward?
Place it at a threshold you cross often — a doorway, a windowsill, a desk edge — rather than storing it away.
Care & safety: Burn on a heat-proof surface, within sight, away from drafts and anything flammable, and never unattended or within reach of children and pets. Dressed candles carry loose botanicals on the wax that will catch as the melt pool reaches them. A ritual tool — no outcome is promised, and nothing here is medical, legal, or financial advice. Traditionally worked for protection — this is not a response to an actual threat. If someone is harassing, stalking, or endangering you, that needs real-world action; a candle can accompany that, not replace it.
The formula has a documented history worth reading before you light it — where Fiery Wall comes from. Sequence matters too: uncrossing, banishing, or protection first. More glass in 7-Day & Vigil Candles.
Clear the room first. Then build the wall. #TempleOfDesire
