Origin & Lore
Chime candles are small tapers about half an inch across, named for their use in Christmas chimes that spin on candle heat. In hoodoo and witchcraft they are used for short petition workings, colour magick and quick daily spells. Cast iron gives a heavy, stable base, and iron itself carries old protective lore.
Chime candles burn in about two hours, which makes them the go-to candle for a spell you can start and finish in one evening.
Across Britain and Ireland, cold iron was believed to repel fairies and evil spirits, and iron horseshoes and nails were hung over doors for protection. The chime candle got its name from the tabletop ‘angel chimes’ popular at Christmas, which use candle heat to spin a rotor of angels that strike small bells.
Did You Know?
In Swedish, angel chimes are called änglaspel, which means ‘angel play’.
