Vessel Care
To honor the craft is to extend the life of the vessel.
Follow these rites to ensure a clean burn and eternal reuse.
The Threshold Burn
The inaugural lighting is a critical rite. Allow the wax to melt completely to the edges of the obsidian vessel. This establishes a "sacred boundary" that prevents tunneling and ensures a flawless, level surface for every future session.
The Wick Rite
Keep the wick trimmed to exactly 1/4 inch before every lighting. This minimizes soot and keeps the flame focused, preserving the purity of the fragrance and the clarity of the vessel.
Safety Rites
Never leave a burning vessel unattended. Place on a heat-resistant surface away from drafty corridors and flammable objects. Limit your session to 4 hours to prevent the vessel from overheating.
The Rite of
Repurposing
Our obsidian vessels are designed to endure. When only 1/4 inch of wax remains, the candle's life as a source of light ends, but its life as a sacred object begins.
Cleansing the Wax
Freeze the vessel for 3 hours, then gently pop out the remaining wax with a dull wooden tool.
A New Vessel
Wash with warm, soapy water. The obsidian is now ready to hold crystals, flora, or sacred implements on your altar.
Ongoing Support
If your vessel shows unexpected behavior or atmospheric interference, contact our support covenant.
