Teal Taper Candles: Communication, Healing, and Clarity
Teal is a blue-green color that merges the energetic associations of both color families into a single shade suited to workings that need both emotional depth and active movement. Blue in candle magic tradition is linked to water, peace, healing, communication, and psychic awareness. Green carries Earth energy, growth, and renewal. Teal, sitting at the intersection of these two, is used by practitioners who need a candle that bridges calm healing energy with clearer self-expression, making it a natural choice for workings that address communication blocks, emotional confusion, or situations where clarity and peace must coexist.
The 7-inch taper format provides a focused burn suitable for dedicated ritual sessions. Taper pairs are traditional in ceremonial and folk magic settings where symmetry matters, either for aesthetic reasons on a formal altar or because the working specifically calls for two matched energies. Teal tapers suit workings timed to water signs in the zodiac, to waxing moon phases when clarity is being drawn in, or to Wednesdays which carry Mercury’s correspondence with communication and exchange.
Dressing and Traditional Use
For communication-focused workings, lavender and clary sage are traditional taper dressings that complement teal’s energy. For healing work, eucalyptus or rosemary oil applied from base to wick draws healing intentions toward the practitioner. Frankincense and sandalwood also work well when the working straddles spiritual and emotional healing simultaneously. Some practitioners carve Mercury sigils, the rune Ansuz for communication, or the name of a deity associated with healing speech into the wax before dressing.
How to Use 7-Inch Teal Taper Candles
Step-by-step guidance for working with teal taper candles in ritual and healing practice.
- Prepare the Holders
Place the teal tapers in secure holders on your altar before lighting. The teal color combines blue and green energetic associations, making these 7-inch tapers appropriate for communication, clarity, and healing-focused ritual work.
- Dress with Complementary Oil
Dress the candle from base to tip with an oil suited to your intent. Teal blends the protective and communicative qualities of blue with the healing and growth qualities of green, useful for workings that bridge emotional clarity and action.
- Burn and Conclude the Ritual
Burn in a supervised setting and use a snuffer rather than blowing out the flame when concluding the ritual. Two matched tapers amplify complementary intentions. Store unused portions in a cool, dark place between workings.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
Teal holds a color correspondence that neither blue nor green tapers can replicate, specifically for workings where communication and healing must be addressed together. I carry this pair because practitioners working through emotionally complex situations often need a candle that bridges both energies without defaulting to one alone.
