Degree of Exaltation Mars Candle
Flaming red candles hand-poured while Mars was in the 28th degree of Capricorn, his point of peak performance. Each candle features a dose of Mars powder, made the same evening, comprised of five hand-ground herbs and resins sacred to Mars. These include hot red pepper, genuine dragon’s blood resin, and yohimbe bark, among other proprietary sympathetic ingredients, and small bits of iron and rust.
A keepsake in the form of a bloodstone arrowhead is revealed when the candle has fully burned, to be kept indefinitely by the owner as a talismanic generator of Martial potency.
Each candle is in a large 12 oz jar that, depending on burning habits, can provide 45+ hours of burn time. They feature a glass cap with Mars’ glyph, Agrippa’s seal of character, and the kamea or magic square, all inscribed during the operation. As their burning will often be accompanied by that of incense, they are unscented.
The first time you burn a large candle, try to let the pool of wax get as far out as possible because it will leave a ‘memory’ in the wax and create a tunneling effect for future burns, which will greatly reduce the life of a candle. Magical candles are sometimes lit for short periods of time during prayers or petitions, so sometimes this is unavoidable. If you have issues with tunneling, there are ways of fixing it.
Ten candles were poured, 7 were offered by Sphere + Sundry. They are now sold out.

I was lucky to snag the last one of these and for that I am grateful for that. The energy it give off is warm and energizing. The candle smells lightly of cinnamon. the wax is so red its crazy!
I’m excited for the arrowhead in the bottom but I don’t want to use it all at once.
I burn this candle during meditation on the day and hour of Mars. It provides an unshakeable confidence in my ability to take action, achieve goals and overcome walls, and provides a defense to shield me from delays.
Sphere + Sundry calls their items offerings – but that’s only half true. They are also gifts from the Spirits themselves, transmitted to us by the hand of Kaitlin Coppock. I am immensely grateful that she is willing to work as an intermediary. To be certain, the community is enriched by her work and effort.
