The Black Sacred Candle this month, the Lumos Pandora, arrived first in the liminal realm. Within the space it was almost a handoff between Boudicca to Pandora. The shield of Boudicca was placed upon the candle not as a singular object, but as the painting of wax from Boudicca’s leftover Black Sacred Candle.
I shared the wholeness of the dreamscape in our Collaboration Forum, those within the community can catch the replay here.

Directions
After you have completed your Pithos Divination, you will want to add the correspondences you have found that are unique to you to your mortar and pestle. Grind as finely as you are called to grind it.
- Take a piece of aluminum foil (large enough to wrap your candle in) and place it on your workspace.
- Take a piece of non-stick parchment paper (about the same size as your aluminum foil) and place it on top of the aluminum foil.
Trick: Fold the edges of the aluminum foil over the top of the edges of the parchment paper to keep it from rolling! - Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
- Inscribe the candle with symbols or sigils that you prefer.
- Using a low heat source, melt the leftover wax from your Canwyll to Boudicca candle and paint or pour over the outside of your Lumos Kore Pandora candle. It is to be your protective shield as you work with Pandora.
- Add an oil of your choosing to the candle.
- Sprinkle your herbs around the candle and then coat the candle as you see fit.
- Wrap the candle inside the parchment and aluminum foil.
- Place the wrapped candle in the oven.
- DO NOT LEAVE THE KITCHEN (lesson learned the hard way), turn your candle every 2 minutes (this took me about 12 minutes total).
- Pour a little salt into your candle holder.
- Once your candle is heated and slightly mushy, remove from the oven. Carefully open the foil and let it cool.
- Nestle your completed Black Sacred Candle within the candle holder.
Caution: Please make sure there are no large chunks of plant material as these can be dangerous or ‘pop’ during candle burning. As always, please abide by all fire safety rules.
