Why Use Crystals for Candle Making?
Crystals are known to carry energy and can have different effects on their users depending on the type of crystal used. When used in candle making, each type of crystal is believed to give off a specific energy and create a different emotional atmosphere in one’s environment.
- Amethyst – this crystal is known for its calming and meditative energy, making it perfect for calming the mind and promoting relaxation.
- Citrine – this crystal is known for its creative energy, making it perfect for creative mental clarity and inspired ideas.
- Clear Quartz – this crystal is known for its cleansing and purifying energy, making it perfect for clearing a room of toxic energies and promoting a realignment of the space.
How to Make Candles With Crystal
Making candles with crystals is fairly simple process and requires just a few materials. You will need:
- All-natural beeswax or soy wax
- Cotton wick
- A double boiler
- Essential oils for scent
- A heat-resistant container
- Crystals of your choice
- A spoon
- Old newspaper
To begin, you should gather your materials and create a workspace on a flat surface. Lay out old newspaper to prevent messes and protect your surfaces. Place the wick in your candle container and tie it at the top with the string provided.
Next, place your double boiler on a stove top, filling it with water. Set the heat to medium-low and wait for the wax to melt. Once it has melted, whisk in your essential oils before pouring the wax into your heat-resistant container.
Once your wax is in the container, drop in your crystals. The number of crystals used is up to you, but bear in mind that increasing the number will increase the potency of the energy from your crystals.
Once your crystals are in the container, slowly pour in the melted wax and use the spoon to gently stir the mixture in order to fully incorporate the crystals. Once stirred, wait for the wax to cool and solidify before removing the crystals and trimming the wick. When you light your candle, its crystals will help to generate a unique and powerful atmosphere.
