The Art of Spiritual Candle Work

A Foundational Workshop in Candle Magic, Ritual & Intention

HOST: MICHAELA SMITH

Every flame carries a purpose. Every ritual begins with intention.

Discover the sacred art of spiritual candle work in this immersive, educational, and hands-on workshop at Lucero Astral.

For centuries, candles have held an important place in spiritual, ancestral, and devotional traditions. Beyond their illuminating flame, they have served as symbols of transformation, prayer, intention, and connection to the spiritual world.

The Art of Spiritual Candle Work is designed to introduce participants to the foundations of candle magic, exploring the symbolism, traditional correspondences, and practical techniques that bring meaning and purpose to ritual practice.

Through spiritual education and hands-on experience, you'll learn not only how to prepare a candle for spiritual work, but also why each step matters.

Rooted in respect for ancestral wisdom and traditional practices, this workshop encourages intentionality, discernment, and spiritual responsibility.
