Fenrir Novena Candle

A candle for the great son of Loki, and wolf Fenrir!

The sound of a cat's footfall, the beard of a woman, the roots of a mountain, bear's sinews, fish's breath, and bird's spittle. All that hold Fenris from Odins eye.

Fenrir, also called Fenrisúlfr, monstrous wolf of Norse mythology. He was the son of the demoniac god Loki and a giantess, Angerboda. Fearing Fenrir’s strength and knowing that only evil could be expected of him, the gods bound him with a magical chain made of the sound of a cat’s footsteps, the beard of a woman, the breath of fish, and other occult elements. When the chain was placed upon him, Fenrir bit off the hand of the god Tyr. He was gagged with a sword and was destined to lie bound to a rock until the Ragnarök (Doomsday), when he will break his bonds and fall upon the gods. According to one version of the myth, Fenrir will devour the sun, and in the Ragnarök he will fight against the chief god Odin and swallow him. Odin’s son Vidar will avenge his father, stabbing the wolf to the heart according to one account and tearing his jaws asunder according to another. Fenrir figures prominently in Norwegian and Icelandic poetry of the 10th and 11th centuries, and the poets speak apprehensively of the day when he will break loose.

OPTIONAL ADDITIONS TO YOUR CANDLE MAGICK WORKING:
Note that these are not required for you to use this candle in a working, however, they do add a personal touch and extra power to your workings, especially when combined with the correct correspondences of herbs, oils, oleums, curios, or magickal artifacts. Loading or dressing novena candles takes practice, so don't feel discouraged if your candle doesn't burn perfectly the first time. Also take this into account with your final reading, if you have added things it WILL burn differently thus possibly changing the end reading from the suggested meanings below, use your personal intuition on these matters.

Novena Candle Loading:

Traditionally you would load a Candle by carving a hole in the bottom of it, then load it with herbs, oils, curios, or magickal artifacts that match your intention, and then you would seal it back up. However because Novena Candles are poured in glass, it is impossible to load them this way without damaging the glass. To load Novena Candles carve a hole down the side of the Candle close to the glass , not in the middle so as not to suffocate the wick, and load it. Once you've added your corresponding ingredients use some of the removed wax to pack the remaining space and seal the hole. Doing this will affect your readings after as it WILL change the way the candle burns, use your intuition accordingly.


Novena Candle Dressing:

If you don't want to risk damaging the candle or causing it to not burn all the way through, you can sprinkle some herbs on top or use an Oil specific to your intention and coat the top of the Candle with it. If you choose to do this, make sure to not suffocate the wick. Obviously the more herbs or oil you use the more it will affect the overall burn, so this may take some practice to get the right amounts.

CAUTIONS:
NEVER leave burning candles unattended. Avoid burning candles near combustible materials. Always store candles in a cool, dark, dry place. They should be stored standing up to prevent warping. Do not place candles in drafts to prevent uneven burning and excessive dripping. Always keep wicks trimmed to 1/2" long, crooked wicks can cause uneven burning. Candles and labels will fade if left in sunlight for extended periods of time. Always keep candles away from children and / or pets. Never put candles in a window or directly expose them to bright indoor or outdoor lights. Candles should always be burned in proper candle-holders or bases and should be a minimum of two and a half inches apart from each other when burning multiple novena candles at once. Extinguish candles with a candle snuffer to keep the wick in good shape. If the wick becomes too short, carve away the wax from around the wick to expose the fresh wick underneath, you will want to remove an even layer of about 1/4" all the way around the top of the candle. Try to only burn Candles on flat, even, heat resistant surfaces.
