Candle Safety & Instructions
Candle Safety & Usage Instructions
-
When lighting your candle for the first time, let it burn for at least two hours so the wax melts all the way to the edges. This prevents tunneling. Always place your candle on a flat, stable surface.
-
Each time you relight your candle, trim any excess burnt wood from the wick to maintain a steady flame. Ideally, the wick should sit about 4 mm above the wax.
-
Keep your candle away from drafts or open windows to avoid soot buildup and to maintain its burn time.
-
Never leave your candle unattended or burn it while sleeping.
-
Stop burning your candle when only 6 mm of wax remains.
-
Keep your candle away from other heat sources and open flames to prevent overheating or accidents.
-
Keep out of reach of children and pets. May cause allergic reactions—if this happens, extinguish immediately and seek medical attention. Do not ingest.
-
Ensure your candle is completely extinguished before leaving the room, as the wooden wick may continue to glow for a short time after extinguishing.

What can I expect from a tarot reading?
A tarot reading is different for everyone. I typically don’t offer general readings, but if this is something you would wish reach out to me.
I specialise in ancestral readings where I contact your ancestors for any messages they have for you.
I also offer spiritual guidance readings where we look at what to focus on in your spiritual practice.
What do your candles contain?
Our candles contain 100% organic rapeseed and coconut wax, wooden wick and fragrance oils. Some candles contain dried herbs and florals.
Are your candles safe to use if I have pets?
Yes! As we do not use essential oils in our candles, you can use our scented candles with a clear conscience without worrying about your furry friends.
How are your candles made?
At Ockult Shop, safety and quality are fundamental in our products. All our candles are vegan and made with 100% natural and sustainable coconut and rapeseed wax. Unlike other types of waxes, coconut and rapeseed wax does not release any bad chemicals as it is a completely organic and natural wax. All our fragrance oils are IFRA certified and contain no phthalates. The manufacture of candles is a chemical process and therefore we are very mindful with which components we use in our products.
What is IFRA?
IFRA stands for “International Fragrance Association” whose mission is to certify perfume and fragrance oil manufacturers. IFRA controls and sets standards for fragrance safety. If you want to read more about IFRA standards, you can do so here.
Why don't you use essential oils in your candles?
Essential oils are a concentrated oil made from plants, fruits and roots. Essential oils often do not do well in scented candles as they rarely smell particularly strong and have difficulty binding to the wax. The scent can become distorted and smell strange.
Essential oils should also be used with caution as many of them in high concentration can be harmful to humans and animals. Inhaling essential oils can cause respiratory irritation and some types are toxic for us to inhale. Some of our incense blends contain safe to inhale essential oils.
Do you offer testers?
Unfortunately not, but Ve & Fasa in Stockholm offers a few of my candles in their physical store.
