The Art of Creating Intention Candles

The Art of Creating Intention Candles

In a world that often feels chaotic, lighting a candle can be a simple yet powerful ritual to anchor yourself in your desires and intentions. Intention candles are more than just wax and wick—they are vessels of energy, created with purpose to manifest love, protection, abundance, creativity, or healing. Every candle I craft is infused with meaning, designed to bring intention into your space and daily practice.

What Makes an Intention Candle Special?

Unlike mass-produced candles, handmade intention candles carry the personal energy of the maker. When I create them, I carefully choose each element—from wax to scent to botanicals and crystals—ensuring that every candle holds a unique vibrational frequency aligned with its purpose.

The Process: Infusing Meaning into Every Candle

1. Setting the Intention

Before I even begin pouring wax, I take time to connect with the intention behind each candle. I reflect on what energy it will hold and how it can serve its future owner. Whether it’s for grounding, self-love, manifestation, or clarity, this purpose guides every step of the creation process.

2. Choosing the Right Wax & Wick

I use high-quality, clean-burning wax, such as soy or beeswax, (usually always soy) to create a sustainable and long-lasting burn. The wick is a wood wick to match our theme of well...wood.

3. Infusing with Essential Oils, Fragrance Oils & Botanicals

Each scent blend is crafted with intention, using essential oils, high-quality fragrance oils, and natural fragrances that align with the candle’s purpose. Here are some common pairings:

• Dark Goddess (liberation): Anise, and orange

• Harvest Moon (Full moon rituals): Sumac, and vanilla

• Protection: frankincense, cinnamon, 

• Fairy realm (fairy magic): Lilac, and Bergamot 

Hand-selected herbs and flowers are incorporated into the wax, enhancing the candle’s energy and beauty.

4. Adding Crystals & Symbols

To amplify the candle’s energy, I embed small, ethically sourced crystals into the wax before it fully sets. Some of my favorite pairings include:

• Clear Quartz – Amplifies any intention

• Amethyst – Encourages intuition and inner peace

• Citrine – Draws abundance and creative flow

• Black Tourmaline – Grounds and protects

5. Sealing & Activating the Candle

Once the candle is complete, I perform a simple blessing or energy-charging ritual to seal the intention. This may include sound cleansing, Reiki energy infusion, or affirmations. Before sending the candle to its new home, I encourage each person to set their own personal intention when lighting it for the first time.

Using Your Intention Candle

Lighting an intention candle is an act of mindfulness and manifestation. Use it during meditation, journaling, rituals, or simply as a reminder of your desires. As the flame burns, visualize your intention coming to life, trusting that the energy you’ve set in motion is working in your favor.

Each candle I create is a reflection of my passion for blending art, energy, and ritual. If you’re looking for a candle that resonates with your soul’s journey, explore my collection and find the one that calls to you.
