About this Event
If you’ve ever made a wish and blown out candles on a birthday cake, you’ve performed a type of candle magick. Are you interested in taking that a step further? ...Right on!
Join us for an introduction to magickal candle carving. We’ll teach you how to carve and dress intention-based candles that will be ready to burn by the end of the workshop. This experience will also involve learning about the origins of candle magick, sigil activation, ritual oil application, incense selection, and using crystals in tandem with your newly created candles.
Workshop highlights include:
- a brief history of candle magick and its prevalence in different countries
- a step-by-step demonstration and personalized instruction as to preparing/dressing a magickal candle
- student's choice to create a cleansing or protection candle
- pairing crystals with candles and individual readings*
- complimentary tea service
*Upon sign-up, students are invited to share their date of birth, place of birth, and time of birth with for a specialized crystal reading.

Victor Castro is a candle carver and energy worker exploring the median between high and low magick. Potencia was started in 2021 as a grassroots movement to empower people across all faiths, practices, and religions through candle magick. It’s a reminder to the collective that potencia (power) isn’t always inherited or purchased–it’s claimed.
