Color is the oldest shorthand in ritual. Before anyone wrote anything down, you could tell what a working was for by what was burning — and taper candles are still the cheapest, fastest way to put an intention somewhere you can see it.

This is a set of twelve unscented tapers in eight colors, 6.29 inches tall and slim enough for chime holders and small altars. Each color carries a different intention, so a single box covers most of what a year of small workings asks for.

At a glance

  • 12 pieces per set, unscented
  • Eight ritual colors, each tied to a different intention
  • Material: paraffin wax
  • Size: 6.29 x 0.47 x 0.47 in — fits standard chime and taper holders
  • Made for spells, chime rituals, intention setting, vigil work and everyday altar use
  • Browse the rest of the Ritual Candles collection

How to use it

  • Pick the color for the intention, not for the decor. The table below is the working key.
  • Use a holder that fits. These are slim tapers — a chime holder or a taper holder, never a flat surface.
  • Burn it down in one sitting where you can. A taper is meant to be a single working from lighting to extinguishing, not a candle you return to.
  • Carve or dress it if that is your practice — the wax takes a mark cleanly.
  • Never leave a burning candle unattended, keep it clear of anything flammable, and out of reach of children and pets.

✨ Temple Tip — let it finish

The habit worth building with tapers is finishing them. A candle burned down in one sitting closes the working; one blown out halfway and left on the shelf tends to sit there as an unfinished sentence. Choose a short window you can actually give it.

Questions we get asked

How many candles are in the set?
Twelve pieces, spread across the eight colors listed above.
Are they scented?
No — these are unscented candles, so they will not compete with incense, resin or oils on the same altar.
What size holder do they need?
They measure 6.29 x 0.47 x 0.47 inches, which fits standard chime candle holders and slim taper holders.
What wax are they made of?
Paraffin wax. If you specifically want a plant-based wax, look at the hand-poured soy and coconut candles in the Ritual Candles collection instead.
Can I use them for spell work with more than one intention?
Most people burn one taper per intention rather than mixing. If a working has two parts, burn two candles — it keeps the intention clean and it is easier to read afterwards.

California Proposition 65 warning: Burning this product produces combustion by-products. Use in a well-ventilated space.

In short

The Ritual Taper Candles are a set of twelve unscented spell candles by Green Witch Creations. Each taper is paraffin wax, 6.29 x 0.47 x 0.47 inches, and the set covers eight ritual colors, with each color traditionally tied to a different intention. Tapers of this size fit standard chime and taper holders and are used for spell work, vigil candles, intention setting and everyday altar practice. The set of 12 costs $26.95. These are slim tapers meant to burn down in a single sitting in a proper holder, not free-standing pillar candles for repeated use.
