Intention Candle - Skull Black & Gold: Skull

Set your intention for transformation and release. This unscented molded candle suits reflection, release, and renewal work. The skull is the oldest reminder there is that nothing here is permanent, which sounds bleak and is actually the point: impermanence is what makes change possible. Black absorbs what is ready to go, gold reflects back what you learn on the way out.

How to Work It

Name what is ending before you light it, and be specific. A habit, a job, a version of yourself you have outgrown. Skull work goes badly when it is vague and remarkably well when it is not. Burn it in one long sitting rather than in pieces, and give yourself somewhere quiet afterward.

Try It With

The Shadow Work Deck gives a session structure, and the Selenite Athame handles anything that needs cutting rather than burning. Pair with Myrrh Resin Incense. More in our Samhain collection.

Good to Know

Unscented, molded. Figure candles burn unevenly by design, so use a dish with a lip.

Safety

Never leave a burning candle unattended. Keep it away from drafts, children, pets, and anything flammable, and set it on a heat safe surface. Glass gets hot. Stop burning when about half an inch of wax remains.
