Seven colors. Seven traditional intentions. One focused spiritual candle.
The 7 Indian Powers Candle is a seven-day, seven-color prayer candle traditionally used in spiritual practices for protection, strength, wisdom, good luck, prosperity, spiritual guidance, and opening paths. Its layered wax creates a clear progression of intentions, making it a strong choice for prayer, altar work, meditation, petitions, and multi-intention rituals.
Rather than focusing on only one purpose, this candle brings seven symbolic intentions into a single ritual format. As each color is reached, you can direct your prayer or reflection toward the traditional meaning associated with that layer.
