Please note the date has changed. This beginner friendly class at DragonMarsh Apothecary & Teas introduces the essentials of candle magick, focusing on how to match shapes and colors to intentions such as love, luck, prosperity, protection, career goals, or clearing unwanted energy. Participants review best practices and common mistakes, compare candle types including tapers, votives, tea lights, figure candles, jars, pillars, and knob candles, and consider how lunar and solar phases can influence outcomes. Instruction covers how to prepare, bless, and charge candles safely, which candle is useful to keep on hand at home, what to avoid, and how to incorporate stones, crystals, herbs, oils, and symbolic markings. The fee is $31, or $28 with a $3 cash discount, and includes instruction, handouts, and all supplies for a class project. Registration is by phone at 951-276-1116. Marking like or interested on social media does not count as registration. The class may be postponed if there are not enough confirmed signups.
