Slim Beeswax Tapers in Seven Colors, With a Brass Holder

These are slim, handcrafted beeswax candles, short enough to fit a small box and packed 21 to a set. The assortment runs through red, orange, yellow, green, light blue, blue and purple, each one a flat, solid color with a white wick at the top. The finish is matte, and the blues run from a pale sky tone to a deep royal shade. The set includes one small brass holder, a short, squat cylinder with a narrow opening in the top, and that holder is how you stand a candle up: press the base into the opening and the candle is ready to light. The tapers are thin, so each flame stays small on the table, and because each one is short, it ends on its own schedule, which settles how long it burns. A set of 21 gives you a supply of every color in one box, and the single holder keeps the practice simple: one candle burns at a time, which suits a sit where one flame is the point. The packaging names meditation, gifts, birthdays, home decor, rituals and celebrations as uses, so the set covers quiet sitting and small occasions alike.

A candle this short gives a sit its own clock: the sit begins when the wick catches, and it’s over when the flame is. That’s the idea behind a meditation candle, and it keeps the time for you. Candle magic guides add a second layer: each color carries associations they commonly cite. Red is paired with passion and courage, orange with energy and drive, yellow with clarity and communication, green with growth and abundance, blue with calm and truth, and purple with intuition and spirituality. The lists differ from author to author, so treat them as starting points and let your own sense of a color decide. With seven colors in one box, you can match the candle to the sitting and keep the choice small enough to make in a few seconds, because every color is already in the box. When you want one color for several sessions in a row, the set has enough tapers to repeat it, and a short burn means you can change color the next day.

Practical Ritual Applications

Use one candle to time a sit: the sit starts with the flame and ends when the flame does. For color work, pick by purpose. A yellow candle sits well beside your study notes, a green one beside a project you’re growing, a purple one beside your tarot cards. Seven colors also let you build a small altar row, one flame per color, moving the single holder down the line as each candle ends. At a gathering, hand each person a candle and pass the holder around the circle. Because each taper is short, you can use one for a brief ritual, such as a closing for a reading. Keep the box of seven colors together so the whole set is easy to choose from. For longer workings, look through my ritual beeswax candles.

How to Light and Time a Beeswax Meditation Candle

The Tarot Fellow Standard

I stock this as a boxed assortment because color work usually calls for more than one color, and a box of 21 covers seven of them with a holder included, which makes a workable starter set for anyone learning color work. A short beeswax taper finishes in a single sitting, so it suits the working you want to begin and end in one session. Beeswax is one of the oldest candle waxes, and a set this compact stays easy to store. When you want several flames at once, my mini candle holders are collected together.
