Lunar Pairing candles may be burned for moon magick during two lunar cycles each year. Work both sides of the zodiacal Wheel of the Year, for Earth/Water mysteries, and the Capricorn/Cancer axis between supporting home life and relationships with public life and career.

Watch Heron craft these candles on her YouTube channel, with in-depth discussion about the magick of this pairing. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOhomx01b_I

Light half of the year: (approx. Dec. 22-Jan 19) Burn again during the earthy, cardinal winter lunation while the sun crosses Capricorn. The dark moon (conjunct) will ebb in Capricorn and full “Cold Moon” (opposition) will peak in Cancer.

Dark half of the year: (June 21-July 22) Burn during the watery, cardinal summer lunation while the sun crosses Cancer. The dark moon (conjunct) will ebb in Cancer, and the full “Blessing Moon” (opposition) will peak in earthy Capricorn.

Spell intentions: Great for magick of home and domestic life, close family relationships, motherhood, public reputation and prestige, career, ambition, power and accomplishment outside the home.

Art by Heron Michelle
Each candle is loaded and anointed during the auspicious time with Heron's formulary blends of elemental earth and planetary Saturn (Capricorn), elemental water and planetary Moon (Cancer). Each contains the stones, plants, resins, and essential oils that are magickally potent for Capricorn/Cancer. Vegetable-based dye in green and blue added for visual effect. Formulary recipes may be found in Heron's book: "Elemental Witchcraft: A Guide to Living a Magickal Life Through the Elements."
