Protection - How to Use
Protection is easy to use - and made to be a moment of safety, prayer, and peace.
Follow these steps for the cleanest burn, the strongest scent, and the most beautiful experience.
Step 1 - Write A Prayer on The Back with Faith
Before you light Protection, turn the jar to the back.
The back says: Write A Prayer, Dream, Desire, Or Vision with Faith.
Write what you are praying for - in your own words, with faith, with gratitude:
- Protection for your family
- Protection for your home
- Protection for your children
- Protection for your work
- Protection for your marriage
- Protection for your future
- Protection for your sleep
- Protection for someone you love
- Safety, strength, peace, covering
Use a pen and write it on the white lines on the back label. Write it clearly, write it with love.
You can write one prayer, one dream, one name, one word - like "Protection," "Safety," "Covered," "Peace."
Light it with faith. Pray as it burns. Let the scent be your comfort.
Every Protection candle is anointed and handmade with love - prayed over with prayer and faith.
"Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?" - 1 Peter 3:13
Step 2 - Place Safely on A Heat-Safe Surface
Place your Protection candle on a flat, heat-safe surface - like a plate, tray, coaster, or table.
Keep it away from drafts, open windows, fans, and air vents - drafts make the flame flicker and the candle burn unevenly.
Keep it away from curtains, paper, fabric, plants, and anything that can catch fire.
Keep it away from children and pets. Never leave it on a wobbly or uneven surface.
Keep the rose gold lid nearby - you will use it later to turn the candle off safely.
Perfect places: Bedroom nightstand, bathroom shelf, living room table, prayer corner, office desk, dining table, front door table.
Step 3 - Light The Natural Wood Wick: Hold Flame 15-20 Seconds
Use a long lighter or a match. Hold the flame to the center of the wood wick for 15-20 seconds.
The wood wick needs a little more time to catch than a cotton wick - that is normal.
You will hear a soft, gentle crackle like a tiny fireplace - that is normal. That is the wood wick working beautifully.
You will see a wider, warmer, steadier flame - that is normal. The wood wick gives you a wider flame, stronger scent, and more even melt.
If the flame is very small at first, let it burn for a few minutes - it will grow, warm up, and settle.
Do not touch the wick or the melted wax while it is burning. The wax will be hot.
Step 4 - First Burn 5-6 Hours: Let Wax Melt All the Way to The Edge
This is the most essential step for a clean, beautiful burn.
On your FIRST burn, let Protection burn for 5-6 hours, until the wax melts all the way to the edge of the jar.
This is called a "full melt pool." It prevents tunneling - when the candle burns down the middle and leaves wax stuck on the sides.
If you turn it off too early, the candle will remember that small circle and always burn in a tunnel.
If you let it melt to the edge, your candle will burn clean, even, and beautiful every time, and you will use every bit of your wax.
During this first burn, enjoy it - pray, rest, read, journal, take a bath, breathe slowly, listen to soft music. Let the Top Notes - Cool Spearmint + Fresh Mint Leaves - fill your room cool and fresh. Then feel the Middle Notes - Rosemary + Garden Herbs - calm and ground your heart.
If you cannot do 5-6 hours the first time, try to do at least 3-4 hours, and let it melt as close to the edge as you can.
Step 5 - Enjoy: Prayer, Safety, Rest, Protection
Now just enjoy Protection.
Light it for:
- Prayer, Bible reading, journaling, devotion
- Quiet time, rest, sleep
- Bath time, self-care, protection prayers
- New home, house blessing, family dinner
- Cozy nights, movie nights, dinner at home
- Praying for protection, praying for safety, praying for your family
Breathe slowly. Let the scent work layer by layer:
Top: Cool Spearmint, Fresh Mint Leaves - cool, fresh, clean.
Middle: Rosemary, Garden Herbs - herbal, green, calming.
Bottom: Warm Cedarwood, Soft Woods - warm, woody, grounding.
Pray, rest, and let your home feel cool, safe, and covered.
Step 6 - Turn Off Safely: Use Snuffer or Rose Gold Lid, Cool Completely
Do not blow out a wood wick candle - blowing can make it smoke and can splash hot wax.
To turn Protection off safely:
- Use a candle snuffer, OR
- Place the rose gold lid gently on top of the jar to cut off the oxygen. The flame will go out by itself in a few seconds. Then lift the lid off after the flame is out.
Do not put the lid on tight while the wax is still extremely hot and the flame is still smoking - just rest it on top for a few seconds, then remove it to let the candle cool.
Let the candle cool completely before you move it, touch it, or put the lid back on tight.
The wax will harden again, smooth, and clean, ready for your next burn.
Never leave Protection unattended while it is burning. Never leave it burning overnight. Never leave it burning when you leave the house.
Step 7 - Trim The Wick To 1/8 Inch Before Every Burn
Before every new burn - every time, not just the first time - trim the wood wick to 1/8 inch.
Use a wick trimmer, small scissors, or gently pinch off the black, charred tip with your fingers when the candle is completely cool.
Why trim? A long, charred wick makes a big, smoky, uneven flame, more soot, and a weaker scent. A short, clean wick makes a clean, steady, beautiful flame, stronger scent, and a cleaner burn.
After trimming, remove any black pieces from the wax so they do not fall into the melted wax.
Then light it again, enjoy it again, pray again.
Repeat: Write - Light - Enjoy - Turn Off - Cool - Trim.
Caution & Safety
For External Home Use Only. Do Not Ingest. Do Not Eat. Do Not Drink.
Never Leave Unattended
Never leave a burning candle unattended. Always extinguish before leaving the room, going to sleep, or leaving your home.
Keep Away from Children and Pets
Keep out of reach of children and pets. Keep away from anything that can catch fire - curtains, bedding, paper, fabric, and decorations. The jar gets hot during burning.
Safe Surface & Placement
Always burn on a stable, heat-resistant, flat surface. Keep away from drafts, vents, fans, open windows, and air conditioners. Do not burn on or near anything flammable. Do not move a burning candle. Let cool completely before handling.
Trim Your NATURAL CROSS WOOD WICK
Before each burn, trim your Natural Cross Wood Wick to 1/8 inch. Remove any charred wood once cool. Do not trim while hot. Do not let the wick touch the glass. A long or untrimmed wick can cause a high flame, smoke, soot, or uneven burn.
Do Not Burn Too Long
Burn for at least 5 to 6 hours on first burn until wax melts to the edge. Do not burn for more than 8 hours at a time after first burn without a break if needed. Stop burning when 1/4 inch of wax remains. Do not burn when wax is low or when the jar is empty.
Do Not Add Anything to the Wax
Do not add water, oils, fragrance, or any other material to the wax. Do not burn if wax holds debris, matches, or wick trimmings. Keep the wax pool clean and free of debris.
If Skin Contact Occurs
If melted wax touches skin, let cool and peel off gently. Rinse with cool water. If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
If Eye Contact Occurs
Rinse with water. If irritation persists, consult a healthcare professional.
Allergies
If you have known allergies to, Cool Spearmint, Fresh Mint Leaves, Rosemary, Garden Herbs, Warm Cedarwood, Soft Woods, essential oils, soy, coconut, or fragrance, test in a well-ventilated area first. If you experience headache, dizziness, coughing, sneezing, or irritation, extinguish candle and ventilate room. Discontinue use if irritation persists.
Do Not Use Near Oxygen, Medical Equipment, or Flammable Sprays
Do not burn near oxygen tanks, medical equipment, or flammable sprays, aerosols, or cleaning products.
Extinguish Properly
To extinguish, use a snuffer or place gold lid on top. Do not blow hard. Do not use water to extinguish. Do not touch hot jar. Let cool completely before handling.
