White & Red Jar Candle

A red and white 7-day candle is traditionally used in spiritual work that blends strength with clarity, passion with peace, and action with purification. Together, these colors represent the balance between force and restraint, body and spirit, desire and righteousness.

General Spiritual Uses

• Protection with balance – Guarding without aggression
• Strength & courage – Especially during difficult situations
• Love & reconciliation – Healing relationships while keeping boundaries
• Justice & right action – Acting from truth rather than anger
• Spiritual cleansing followed by empowerment
• Health & vitality work (spiritually focused)

This candle is often chosen when one needs both power and peace—to act without chaos and to protect without harm.
