Pink 7 Day Glass Candle
The Color of Love That Is Tender. The Color of the Heart That Is Open. The Color of What You Feel When Someone Sees You and Stays.
Red is the color of love that burns. Pink is the color of love that holds. Red is passion, desire, the heat of wanting. Pink is warmth, tenderness, the quiet joy of being genuinely known and genuinely cared for — the love that does not need to be dramatic because it is real, the love that shows up on an ordinary Tuesday and makes the ordinary Tuesday feel like something worth having. Pink is the color of the heart when it is open and undefended and willing to be seen.
In the candle tradition, pink is the primary love candle — not because it is more powerful than red, but because it covers more of what love actually is. Red covers the fire. Pink covers everything else: the tenderness, the friendship, the self-love that has to exist before any other love can take root, the compassion that makes a relationship survivable over time, the sweetness that keeps two people choosing each other after the initial fire has settled into something steadier and more durable. Pink is the candle you burn when you want love that lasts, not just love that burns.
Pink is also, crucially, the candle of self-love — and this is not a secondary use but one of its most important ones. The tradition has always understood what modern psychology has only recently articulated: that the love you are able to receive from others is limited by the love you are able to give yourself. A person who does not believe they are worth loving will find ways to confirm that belief no matter how much love is directed at them. The pink candle burned for self-love is not a luxury or a vanity. It is the foundation. It is the work that makes all the other love work possible.
Pink governs friendship, compassion, emotional healing, the reconciliation of a love that has been lost, the blessing of a love that is just beginning, and the sweetening of a love that has grown routine. It is the color of the heart in all of its forms — not just the heart that wants, but the heart that heals, the heart that forgives, the heart that opens again after it has been closed.
The Pink 7 Day Glass Candle carries that tender, heart-opening, love-drawing, self-restoring energy through seven full days of burning.

How to Work This Candle
Come to the pink candle with an open heart — not a demanding one. The energy of this candle is receptive and tender, and it responds to the same quality in you. Write your petition naming what you need: the person you want to draw, the relationship you want to deepen, the self-love you want to cultivate, the heart you want to heal. If you are working for self-love, write your own name and the qualities you want to feel about yourself — worthy, lovable, enough. Place the petition beneath the candle. Dress the top of the glass with Love Drawing oil, Self-Love oil, or a rose-based oil — rose is the supreme love herb of the Western tradition and carries pink’s energy in its purest aromatic form. Rose petals — pink or red — placed around the base of the candle reinforce the working. Rose quartz placed beside the candle amplifies the heart energy. If you are working for a specific person, write both names on the petition with a heart drawn around them. If you are working for self-love, write your name in a circle — no beginning, no end, love that returns to itself. Light the candle. Let yourself feel what you are asking for. The heart that can feel it can draw it. That is the whole working.
Each candle is approximately 8 inches tall and burns for up to 7 days.
