When you’re finished
Please do not open during use; the wax seal holds the intention. When complete, thank the jar, crack the wax, and tip contents onto paper. Return herbs/salt to soil (garden or potted plant), or wrap in paper and place in household waste. Do not put herbs down the drain. Reuse or recycle the glass; discard wax in general waste.
Safety & FAQ
Essential safety checklist
- Keep out of reach of children and pets.
- Burn tealights on a heat-proof surface in view; never leave a flame unattended.
- Ventilate if using smoke.
- Do not open the jar while in use; the wax seal holds the intention.
- Do not consume contents; for spiritual/ritual use only.
- Keep away from curtains, drafts, and flammables (min. 30 cm clearance).
- Avoid direct sunlight/heat (car dashboards, radiators, stoves).
- Jars are glass—handle carefully if dropped or knocked.
If something goes wrong
- Flame too high? Snuff it safely (don’t splash water on wax). Trim or recentre the wick next time.
- Too much smoke? Extinguish, ventilate, and relight later with less dressing on the tealight.
- Allergic reaction or irritation? Stop using; move the item away; wash hands and surfaces.
FAQ
Is it safe to burn the tealight from the Deluxe Set? Yes — keep the wick area clear, burn on a heat-proof surface, and never leave a flame unattended.
Can I open the jar? No — keep it sealed while in use. Opening breaks the working and can spill contents.
How often should I recharge? Whenever it feels “flat”: after a stressful week, a busy period at work, or with the lunar cycle (full or new moon — your choice).
What if the wax cap cracks? It’s still fine if the cork hasn’t been removed. If you’d like to re-seal, you can soften a little wax over the top.
I don’t have sage — can I cleanse another way? Yes. Sound (bell/chime), incense, or a few sprays of Florida Water all work.
I’m sensitive to smoke. Skip smoke cleansing and use sound or a cleansing spray instead. Always ventilate if using smoke.
Is there a “right” time to start? Any time is fine. If you enjoy timing, choose a new moon (fresh starts) or full moon (clarity and release).
Is this medical or financial advice? No — our jars are spiritual tools for intention-setting and personal focus.
Allergies & sensitivities
Our jars use dried botanicals and salt; tealights are plain white. If you’re sensitive to fragrance/smoke, choose sound or spray cleansing and avoid burning herbs or heavily dressed candles.
Disposal
When finished, thank the jar, crack the wax, and tip contents onto paper. Return herbs/salt to soil (garden or potted plant), or wrap and place in household waste. Do not put herbs down the drain. Reuse or recycle the glass; discard wax in general waste.
