How to use it
-
Give it a place, not a shelf. This is an altar candle — it wants a surface you return to, even if that surface is a corner of a bookshelf.
-
Trim the hemp wick to 1/4 inch every time before lighting.
-
Burn to a full melt pool on the first lighting so the wax remembers the full width of the glass. With 168 hours in the vessel, you have room to be patient.
-
Light it at the start of the thing — the new project, the difficult conversation, the practice you keep putting off. That is the moment this candle is built for.
-
Read the back. The words of inspiration are there to be read out loud, not decorated with.
-
Never leave it unattended, and keep it away from anything flammable, children and pets.

✨ Temple Tip — light it before you are ready
Creative work does not begin when you feel ready — it begins when you light something. Put a match to this on the morning you plan to start, before the doubt has finished its argument. The candle has 168 hours in it. Your excuse does not.
Questions we get asked
How long does a 16 oz altar candle last?
Up to 168 hours of burn time — roughly a week of continuous burning, or many months of one-hour sittings.
Is it scented?
No. It is perfectly unscented, with no dyes and no artificial fragrance, so it will not compete with incense, oils or resin you burn alongside it.
What is on the candle itself?
An image of Saraswati on the front and words of inspiration printed on the back, so the candle reads as an altar piece rather than a jar of wax.
Which crystals are in this one?
Clear quartz for oneness and amplification, aquamarine for clear communication and free self-expression, and citrine for manifestation and energising warmth.
Can I keep the glass and the crystals?
Yes. The tumbler is lead-free and made to be washed out and reused, and the crystals stay with you when the wax is gone.
Light it, name what you are beginning, and let it burn. #TempleOfDesire
