Meaning & tradition
Seven-day candles are a staple of several folk and devotional traditions, including Santería and other Latin American folk-magic practices, where each candle is traditionally lit to hold a different intention over a full week:
Day 1 – Green: traditionally associated with prosperity, growth, and harmony.
Day 2 – Red: traditionally associated with protection, courage, and strength.
Day 3 – Yellow: traditionally associated with success, inspiration, and optimism.
Day 4 – Blue: traditionally associated with serenity, truth, and calm communication.
Day 5 – Pink: traditionally associated with love, compassion, and warmth.
Day 6 – Purple: traditionally associated with ambition, intuition, and inner strength.
Day 7 – White: traditionally associated with purity, clarity, and fresh starts.
These are traditional color associations passed down through ritual practice, not guaranteed outcomes — this is a decorative ritual item, not a health product, and no specific result (health, luck, or protection) is promised or implied.

How to use it
Many people light this candle at the start of a week and let it burn as a quiet focal point for reflection or ritual, holding one intention for its full burn or shifting focus loosely along the day-by-day color themes above. There is no single correct way to burn it.
Care & safety
Fire safety: always burn on a heat-safe, stable surface, away from drafts, curtains, and anything flammable. The glass jar becomes very hot while lit and stays hot after the flame is out — never move or pick up the candle while it is burning, and never leave a burning candle unattended, even briefly. Keep it well out of reach of children and pets. Trim any visible wick debris before lighting, and extinguish it fully before leaving the room or going to sleep.
