Any references to protection, healing, prosperity, abundance, love, manifestations, banishing, spiritual cleansing or other magical intentions describe the symbolic and spiritual purpose of the product. We do not guarantee any particular spiritual, emotional, physical, financial or personal outcome from the use of our ritual candles.

All rituals, spellwork and spiritual practices undertaken using Salem's Shack products are performed at the customers own discretion.

Customers are responsible for ensuring that their ritual environment, equipment and practices are safe and appropriate.

Never leave candles burning as part of unattended spellwork, overnight rituals or prolonged spiritual practices.

If your ritual involves petitions, paper, additional botanicals or other combustible materials, these must be handled separately using appropriate fire-safe equipment. Never place them directly against or into a burning candle.

Ritual intentions must never take priority over physical safety.

Some Salem's Shack candles feature dried botanicals, decorative wax, charms, twine and other embellishments. These elements are selected for their symbolic meaning and aesthetic qualities, but they are not intended to be burned as part of the candle. Decorative materials must be removed before lighting, even when they appear to be securely attached.

Due to the handcrafted nature of our candles, slight variations in appearance, colour, wax patterns and decorative placement are to be expected.

Magic begins with intention, but wisdom guides the flame.

May your rituals be meaningful, your intentions be clear, and your sacred space be protected through care, awareness and respect for the element of fire.

Honor the flame. Respect it's power. Practice your craft safely.

At Salem's Shack, every ritual candle is lovingly created with intention, symbolism and a touch of old-world witchery. Our candles are created to accompany your spiritual practices, rituals, spellwork and moments of personal reflection.

The flame is a powerful symbol of transformation, but it is also a real and potentially dangerous source of fire. We ask that every witch honours their craft by practicing responsible candle safety.

For your safety and the safety around you, please read and follow these precautions before lighting your ritual candle.

-Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish the flame before leaving the room or going to sleep.

-Always place your candle in a suitable, stable, heat-resistant, non-flammable candle holder designed for it's size and shape.

-Keep burning candles at least 10cm apart and well away from curtains, fabrics, furniture, paper, dried flowers, decorations and other flammable materials.

-Keep candles out of reach of children and pets.

-Keep candles away from draughts, open windows, fans and air currents that may cause uneven burning or unpredictable flames.

-Remove all charms, twine, string, pins, crystals, decorative attachments and loose botanical materials before lighting. These items are decorative or symbolic and must never be allowed to enter the flame or melted wax.

-Our ritual candles may feature wax drips, botanical decorations and other handcrafted details. These can affect how a candle burns. Monitor your candle closely for excessive flames, uneven burning or falling debris.

-Trim the wick to approximately 5mm before lighting and before subsequent burns, once the candle has completely cooled.

-Never move, touch or adjust a candle while it is burning or while the wax remains hot.

-Never allow a candle to burn all the way down. Extinguish it before the flame reaches the holder or any remaining decorative material.

-Stop using the candle immediately if the flame becomes unusually large, the candle becomes unstable or the holder shows signs of overheating or damage.

-Use a candle snuffer where possible. Never use water to extinguish a candle.

-Never burn a candle near flammable liquids, alcohol, essential oils or loose ritual ingredients.

IMPORTANT : Dried herbs, flowers and other botanicals are combustible. Any botanical decoration must be completely removed from the candle and it's immediate burning area before lighting. Do not deliberately burn botanicals attached to the candle or add loose herbs to the molten wax.
