Just follow this step-by-step and make according to your taste and imagination.

This tutorial is only for "moulded" candles.

If you wish, I could also give explanations on the candles called "poured": that is to say candles poured in a pot with fatty and flexible vegetable wax: soya wax, colza wax, sunflower wax.
Examples of "poured candles" that I make:

These are some of the most stunning candles I have seen. I would love to buy. Or you can have these as a candle store.

Oh, I am really touched HP, thank you very much.
You know, they are full of little flaws!
I've been making candles since I was consecrated because I was ashamed to have ugly, uncoloured candles inside at my dedication. So I learned, I made and made and made. And then one day, thinking back to Thoth: "but yes, glow-in-the-dark candles! an apple to the glory of my Father that would shine in the night, like his light in the painful darkness that we live in". And so it was done and I started a very small business.

But really, try it, you'll see, it makes you proud when you make things with your hands for the Gods! It's not very difficult, your candles won't be perfect, like mine, but it will be so perfect for the Gods.
Every day a candle is lit for Father and for my tutor! I work on my meditations, the runes, I make my candles, only under their cover, always their candles are lit.

Impressive, good job, that's very creative and nice. The Shiva candles are insane.

I love crafts, making things with my own hands. It relaxes my mind. Being air and fire, it allows me to be more grounded in the material and to calm my mind.

And since I've been meditating and sticking to my spiritual work programme, it's been better.

These are really damn amazing :o Believe me i do not say this often, But you really are talented.

I used to like working with my hands as well, so i am going to see if i still like it, you really motivated me with this stuff. :lol:

By the way it makes it much better if you can see little errors, its hand made so its unavoidable, its the human element that really lets it shine.

S.s I'll buy one of each!
Do you take card? :mrgreen:

Thank you very much for your heartwarming comments.

For those who are interested, I can create a PDF with the different candles, their prices and their personalization parameters (fragrances, picture, etc). But the concern remains the delivery costs which will be very high :(... As for the delivery time, it can give us cold sweats ..

Yes, candles like soaps have many imperfections.

The soaps with runes are made from the inlay method. You have to make each element separately, freeze (yes freeze!!! It's a crazy method!) And melt on it. They take a long time to make but the shower will be a very special moment haha :D :lol:

The middle candle was made with residues from 3 different kinds of candles. Unfortunately over the years it was stored with other candles, and despite covering it in paper towel to reduce the bleeding, the other colors still seeped through. Through transport it has also gained a couple of bruises unfortunately, but it still looks lovely.

The other candles I had poured myself, one from which the wax was too cold, resulting in the 'rustic' look.

Unfortunately, I don't see your image :(

Yes, the temperature at which the wax is poured plays a role, but so does the temperature of the room: if the room is too cold, the wax will congeal very quickly and you will get this "rustic" effect.

Personally, this is not what I am looking for, because I apply an image transfer to the candles, but unfortunately my workshop is not heated and I often get this striated effect. In summer the workshop is very good and I get very smooth candles.

Hello!

I have been asked how to make the candles only coloured on the outside.

Here are some techniques.

1)
It is assumed that you have candles of the natural colour of the wax in your possession.
You melt some wax in a deep container.
You add your powdered pigments and/or liquid dyes when the wax is melted.
The wax must be very hot (approx. 80 degrees Celsius). This is important if you want the outer colour to be brilliant.
Take the container out of the firing device and immediately take the candle by the wick and dip it quickly and completely into the container.
Hold it over the container until it has dripped and then put the candle down until the wax has set.
After 30 minutes, melt the wax again until it is hot, and repeat the previous operation.
Do this as many times as you feel necessary but twice is fine.

2) Technique using liquid dyes
Does not require any heating of the wax.
This technique allows you to have zebras, coloured marbling.
Take a deep container, fill it with water, and put on the surface of the water, WITHOUT MIXING, one or several liquid dyes.
Take the candle by the wick and dip it in the container, turn it well so that the dye or dyes on the surface are deposited on the candle. Put it down to dry. Repeat the operation if necessary when the candle is dry.

3) use of special candle varnish.
Pour the varnish specially formulated for candles into a small container. Add powdered pigments, gold, blue or red glitter or any other colour. Saturate the glaze with pigments and/or glitter. You need to put lots and lots of it. With a flat brush, like a small brush, coat the candle. Repeat if necessary several times.
It is also possible to replace the glitter with salts or dried flowers.

I wish you much pleasure in making and/or decorating your ritual candles for our beloved Gods.😊

I finally made my candles, they're not nearly as good as yours, but it was a very nice experience and they look really great on my altar and smell really nice as well. Thank you for this.
These are not for burning at least not entirely, I don't want to burn the sigils. These are just for decoration.
