Blue Chime Candle

Dark Blue Chime Candles are used for many things in different traditions, but no matter what- these are perfect for your ritual needs.

They can either be used as a devotional light for a spirit that works well with the colour blue, or for use within candle magic. Blue Chime Candles come from a tradition of dyeing wax, pressing petals into wax, lamp magic and colour magic and conjuration -but in a more accessible form.

These are suitable for annointing and dressing for magical use.

Here’s some ways that Dark Blue is used traditionally in British folk magic, spirituality, folklore and conjuration:

• Divine Power- The blue cloak is given to many Goddesses, especially those of the cosmic night, the universe and the starry sky. It’s a classic symbol of divinity and power.
• Uncanny happenings- Blue is a symbol of divinity, both the pure and the uncanny. simply something of great power, whether we understand it or not, and whether it likes us….or not.
• Cosmic night and birth, the space before creation- traditionally used to symbolise the comsos before the gold of creation. Also used to symbolise the night just before the dawn.
• The Deep Ocean- Relating to the understanding of the cosmic night, it also relates to the deep sea, another place that can both birth and destroy.
• Mary as Queen- Deep blue is given more to Mary as Queen of the Heavens, rather than baby blue, which is seen more as Mary as mother.
• Protection. Blue features as a protective colour for various reasons- it’s the colour of water that demons can not cross, it’s the colour that tenement building were painted to protect them under the eyes of Mary. It’s the colour that reflects the evil eye away from  you,  and holds the line against spiritual attacks. When combined with iron or travelling charms, it works to protect against nightmares.
• Even though there’s much debate about which pigment it was that made various Celtic tribes blue, it’s correlation has stuck fast, and many still use it for ancestral connection, courage, warriorship, vitality and protection.
• Much like other colours, each colour often holds the positive and negatives of any intention, so while it holds within it protection and creation, it also holds sadness and grief.
• When used as a way to connect and honour the spirit of bluebell, blue also connects to being fairy-led, omens, death…but also forced honesty, continuation through hardship and ancestral connection.
• Divination. When paired with fire, the colour blue is used within divination rites. Especially within love divination.
• Healing- Blue was also used for healing mothers, especially nursing mothers. Blue was used for the healing of fevers in traditional folklore. Blue was also particularly powerful in general healing, but works best in combination with other charms.
