Blank label field for your name, birthdate, and petition

How to use it
-
Light it on the day of the new moon or within the following 48 hours — this is the setting phase of the cycle, not the releasing phase.
-
Write one intention on the label, not five. A seven-day candle carries a single line of work well and a list of work badly.
-
Anoint the wax top with a drop of ritual oil, drawing inward toward the wick, before the first lighting.
-
Return to it once a day at roughly the same hour — two quiet minutes is enough. The repetition is the practice, not the length.
-
Let it burn down on its own. If you must extinguish it, snuff rather than blow, and relight at the next opportunity.

✨ Temple Tip — write the intention as something you will do, not something you will get
"A new job" is a wish. "I apply to three roles a week and follow up on every one" is an intention, and it is the one the seven days can actually hold you to. The moon supplies the start date; the sentence supplies everything else.
Questions we get asked
When exactly should I light it?
On the day of the new moon or within about 48 hours after. That window is the setting phase of the lunar cycle; releasing work belongs to the waning half instead.
Can I write more than one intention?
You can, but it works considerably less well. A seven-day candle carries one line of work well and a list of work badly.
How long does it burn?
Approximately seven days of continuous burn. Because each candle is dressed by hand, appearance varies slightly from one to the next.
What if I have to put it out?
Snuff rather than blow it out, and relight at the next opportunity. Never leave a candle burning unattended in order to preserve a continuous burn.
What is the rainbow moonstone for?
It is set into the dressing and is yours to keep once the wax is spent. Many practitioners keep it with a journal as a continuation of the cycle.
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 intention-setting and new beginnings — not a substitute for medical, legal, or financial advice, and no outcome is promised.
The full shelf of seven-day glass is at 7-Day & Vigil Candles. A new moon candle is worked as a cycle rather than a single night — New Moon Candle Ritual shows how to spread it across the dark days without losing the thread. For a dated worked example you can follow step by step, see New Moon in Virgo Ritual for Beginners.
One flame, one sentence, one cycle. Start there. #TempleOfDesire
