Venus Magic and Beeswax Love Candles
In Hermetic and folk magic traditions, Venus governs romantic love, beauty, friendship, pleasure, and affectionate bonds of all kinds. Friday is Venus’s day, and working a love ritual on a Friday during a waxing moon is considered one of the most auspicious timing combinations for drawing love and strengthening existing bonds. Lailokens Awen’s Love candle is crafted specifically on the day and in the hour of Venus by Shawn Hebert, a Druid Hermeticist and Clinical Aromatherapist who built the entire line on Hermetic principles of planetary timing and elemental correspondence.
The candle is pale pink in color, the classical Venusian shade that Western candle magic and Wiccan color theory both associate with gentle romantic love, emotional warmth, and self-compassion, as opposed to the fierier red of Martian passion. The wax is 100% Canadian beeswax, hand-rolled rather than poured, with organic essential oils selected for their Venus correspondences. The faint natural honey scent of beeswax underlies the oil blend without competing with it.
Drawing Love, Friendship, and Self-Compassion
This candle differs meaningfully from the Love Pillar Candles (which are larger paraffin-blend pillar candles paired with necklaces) in both scale and tradition. At 4 1/4 inches, it is sized for a single focused working or a series of shorter sessions rather than extended multi-day altar work. Its Hermetic pedigree, beeswax composition, and planetary timing make it the right choice for practitioners who want a traditionally formulated spell candle rather than a decorative ritual set.
Practitioners use this candle to draw romantic love and friendship, to deepen existing affectionate relationships, or to cultivate self-love as a foundation for healthy connection. Rose quartz, rose petals, and pink tourmaline are natural altar companions for this working, as are rose, ylang-ylang, and jasmine oils if you wish to dress the candle’s exterior before lighting.

How to Use a Lailokens Awen Love Ritual Candle
How to work with the Lailokens Awen Love candle in Venus-aligned romantic and self-love rituals.
- Set Up Your Venus Altar on a Friday
Place this pale pink candle in a heat-safe holder at your altar’s center. Add rose quartz, dried rose petals, or a Venus symbol around it. Write your love intention on paper and place it beneath the holder before lighting on a Friday.
- Invoke Venus and Light the Candle
Hold the candle briefly and invoke Venus, Aphrodite, or Oshun, or simply state your intention directly. Light the candle and spend at least 10 minutes in quiet focus, visualizing the love you wish to draw or cultivate as already fully present.
- Repeat on Fridays Until Spent
Return to the candle on successive Fridays, relighting after trimming the wick and extinguishing with a snuffer at each session’s end. Multiple Venus-day sessions build the working’s energy over time. Thank Venus when the candle is fully spent.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock this candle as the Hermetically formulated counterpart to the larger paraffin love pillar candles I also carry. They serve different practitioners: the Love Pillar sets (with necklaces) appeal to those wanting a decorative ritual package, while the Lailokens Awen Love candle is for practitioners who prioritize the quality of the wax, the precision of the planetary timing, and the Clinical Aromatherapist’s oil blend. Beeswax, organic essential oils, and creation during Venus hour is a standard that matters in serious spell work, and Shawn Hebert’s entire line is built around it. If you are putting together a Venus altar or a dedicated love practice, this candle belongs in it. Explore my love and relationships collection for complementary tools.
