Honey candles have been used since ancient times to attract good luck and make special wishes. According to popular wisdom, there is a tradition of lighting a honey candle on the 11th of each month for good luck, abundance and prosperity in the home.
Why honey candles
Candles are path openers that illuminate our energy and our purposes. In turn, bees are the main pollinator of nature. They are one of the many elements that make life as we know it and it is through their honey that they bring us a piece of nature’s magic. For this reason, honey candles have always been associated with a very powerful energy, sweetening people’s lives.
Why honey candles on the 11th of each month
The truth is that you can light honey candles on any day you feel like it. However, there are some days of the month that are traditionally associated with more “power” according to numerology. Lighting a honey candle on the 11th of each month is associated with the arrival of good luck, abundance and prosperity. It is a day in which a lot of energy is concentrated since it is one of the master numbers according to numerology.
Furthermore, the 11th coincides almost with the middle of the month. It is an ideal time to take stock of the month and to establish that the purpose of the candle is related to the opening of those paths or situations that are stopped or stagnant.
How to perform the ritual of lighting a honey candle on the 11th of each month
As you well know, rituals are a tangible and conscious tool to externalize personal emotions and experiences. They are small acts that help us to become aware and align our psyche towards a purpose.
Through rituals, we give meaning to what we have experienced and connect with the lessons learned from past experiences. They help us mark the processes of change and the passage from one stage to another in our lives. It is important to note that performing rituals does not guarantee the achievement of the objective. Every ritual must be accompanied by constant personal effort and work.
Below, we suggest some steps to follow to perform this ritual and thus be able to “encode” or guide your conscious and subconscious toward your purpose.
Steps to follow in the ritual with honey candles:
- On the 11th of each month, choose a quiet moment and a space for yourself. If you can do an energetic cleansing of your home and space beforehand, even better! It can be something as simple as cleansing the space with a cleansing and purifying element such as copal incense, palo santo, or white sage.
- If you already have your time and space ready, visualize what your purpose or goal is before lighting the candle. Remember that it is important to visualize it in an affirmative or positive way and to be as specific and clear as possible.
- Once you have visualized it, light the honey candle and let it burn during the day. It is VERY IMPORTANT that the candle is placed on a metal container or in a space or place where it cannot cause damage, otherwise it can be dangerous. Also, let it burn in a place where you can control it to avoid scares.
Every month, try to repeat this little ritual on the 11th to activate the energy of prosperity, luck and abundance!
