Why Make Your Own Manifestation Candles?
Unlike store-bought candles, DIY intention candles let you:
Personalize energy (choose colors, herbs, and crystals aligned with your goal)
Amplify spiritual power (handmade candles hold stronger energy)
Avoid toxins (many commercial candles contain paraffin and synthetic fragrances)
Part 1: Choosing Ingredients for Magic Candles
1. Wax Selection
Soy wax (clean-burning, holds fragrance well)
Beeswax (natural, purifying, long-lasting)
Coconut wax (eco-friendly, excellent scent throw)
Avoid paraffin (petroleum-based, releases toxins).
2. Essential Oils & Herbs
Purpose | Oils/Herbs |
---|---|
Love | Rose, jasmine, lavender |
Abundance | Cinnamon, patchouli, basil |
Protection | Sage, cedar, frankincense |
Clarity | Rosemary, peppermint, lemon |
Healing | Eucalyptus, chamomile, calendula |
Tip: Use dried herbs for texture and energy infusion.
3. Crystals for Energetic Boost
Rose quartz (love)
Citrine (wealth)
Clear quartz (amplification)
Amethyst (intuition)
Place small chips in wax or arrange around the candle.
4. Candle Color Meanings
Color | Manifestation Purpose |
---|---|
White | Purification, new beginnings |
Pink | Love, self-care |
Green | Money, growth, prosperity |
Purple | Spirituality, psychic power |
Red | Passion, courage |
