Virgen de Guadalupe When seeking protection, guidance, or miracles, many individuals turn to the Virgin de Guadalupe and light a 7 Day prayer candle in her honor. The Virgin de Guadalupe, also known as Our Lady of Guadalupe, is a revered and powerful symbol in Mexican and Latin American culture. According to the origin story, the Virgin Mary appeared to a peasant named Juan Diego in Mexico in 1531, dressed as an indigenous woman, with her image imprinted on his cloak as a symbol of her love and connection to the indigenous people. She embodies a powerful blend of Catholic devotion and indigenous relevance, representing and revered as source of strength, faith, compassion, and inspiration for millions.

Candle measures 8 inches tall (220mm) x 2.25 inches wide (57mm) Burning time is approximately 140 hours- which is why they are called 7 day candles as you can burn them for up to 24 hours for 7 days.

Ritual Tips: Find a Safe Space ~ Just a safe space is enough, however if you would like to add a little extra intention or magic to your ritual you can create a simple altar, 'cleanse' or smudge your space using either crystals (we recommend amethyst, clear quartz or selenite) or burning natural incense such as Copal, Palo Santo or Sage. Set Clear Intentions ~ Before lighting the candle, take a moment to reflect on your intentions. Visualize your goals and desires, focusing your energy and intention into the candle. Clear Your Mind ~ Before igniting the candle, take a few moments to center yourself. Breathe deeply and let go of any distractions or negative thoughts. Create a calm and focused mindset. Ignite the Flame ~ Use a long match or lighter to carefully light the candle's wick. As you do so, visualize the flame as a symbol of your intentions coming to life. Maintain a Ritual Routine ~ Consider dedicating specific times each day to tend to the candle. This consistency helps reinforce your intentions and creates a sacred space for your rituals and for practicing self care. What is ‘Dressing’ Candles ~ The act of ‘dressing’ or blessing a candle is to anoint it with essential oils, carve symbols into it, sprinkling top of candle with applicable herbs, or rolling candle in honey and herbs which in return adds extra power and intention to your candle. It is not essential- however is practiced in Wiccan, Voodoo and Santeria practices. Be careful of not adding too much oil or overload with herbs as this can cause a fire hazard. Burn Tips: Wick~ Ensure the wick is trimmed to a quarter of an inch to promote even burning. Then continue to trim your wick slightly down to 1/8 - 1/4 inches long each time before lighting for a brighter burn. This helps avoid burn marks on the glass and keeps your space free of soot and black smoke. Trimming a candle wick also can prolong the life of a candle by 24%. 1st Lighting the Candle ~ Allow new candles burn until the top surface is fully melted, which can take up to a few hours. This prevents wax tunneling and allows candles to burn evenly each time. Safety ~ Keep candles away from any flammable objects or materials or out of reach of children or pets. Processing time is typically 1-2 business days & shipping is additional 1-2 days via 1st Class & varies for outside the UK to more like 5+ business days.
