Special Magic Intention Candle - A Candle Inspired by Momo no Sekku -

In the heart of early spring, as peach blossoms begin to bloom, the Japanese tradition of Momo no Sekku (Peach Festival) is celebrated on March 3rd in the old Lunar Calendar (It's on March 31st for this year). Rooted in ancient customs, this festival is a time of renewal, protection, and warding off misfortune. Traditionally known as Hinamatsuri or Girls’ Day, it honors health, growth, and well-being, while also carrying a powerful spiritual significance beyond its modern associations.

In Japanese mythology, peaches are more than just a symbol of beauty and vitality—they hold the power to dispel evil. Ancient stories tell of peaches driving away misfortune and protecting those who seek their guidance. The peach tree’s blossoms, once believed to shield against malevolent spirits, mark this time of year as a moment of purification and positive transformation.

Our Peach Ward – Evil's Bane- Candle is inspired by this sacred tradition. Infused with warm, uplifting notes of ripe peach and delicate florals, it is crafted with intention—to cleanse, protect, and invite harmony into your space. Light it as a ritual of renewal, whether to mark Momo no Sekku or simply to welcome fresh beginnings and dispel negativity.

With its soft pink hues and shimmering glow, this candle is an ideal companion for the Pink Moon in April as well. Use it during the full moon to welcome fresh starts, manifest your dreams, and align with the season of renewal.

✨ A Special Exception for a Special Occasion ✨
At koto_create, we deeply believe in the power of essential oils and natural herbs. However, some fruit scents—like peach—are incredibly difficult to extract naturally. To honor the spirit of Momo no Sekku, this candle is an exception, made with a high-quality fragrance oil to bring you the vibrant, juicy essence of peach while still maintaining our commitment to intentional craftsmanship.

Let the essence of peach guide you toward clarity, strength, and protection, just as it has in folklore for centuries. 🍑✨

Candle Safety and Usage Guidelines

1. Trim the Wick: Before lighting your candle, trim the wick to approximately 1/4 inch to prevent excessive flickering, smoking, and uneven burning.
2. Initial Burn: Allow your candle to burn for 2-3 hours during the initial lighting to create a full and even wax pool across the surface. This helps prevent tunneling and ensures an optimal burn for future use.
3. Subsequent Burns: For subsequent burns, allow the wax pool to reach the edges of the container to prevent tunneling and maximize the fragrance throw. Avoid extinguishing the candle until the entire surface has melted to prevent tunneling.
4. Burn Time: Never burn the candle for more than 4 hours at a time. Excessive burning can cause overheating, which may lead to the container cracking or other safety hazards.
5. Safety Precautions:
• Keep the candle away from drafts, flammable objects, and out of reach of children and pets.
• Always place the candle on a stable, heat-resistant surface.
• Always use a candle holder or candle dish when burning pillar candles. Even for container candles, using a holder or dish is highly recommended. 
• Never leave a burning candle unattended.
• Discontinue use when only 1/2 inch of wax remains in the container to prevent heat damage.
• Do not move the candle while it is burning or the wax is hot, as this poses a fire hazard and may cause the wick to shift. If the wick moves from its original position, discontinue use to ensure safe burning.
• Jars can become very hot during and after use. Allow them to cool completely before touching or moving.
• Do not attempt to remove the sigil stone while the candle is lit. Extinguish the flame first, then carefully take out the stone without burning yourself.
6. Extinguishing the Flame: Use a candle snuffer or gently blow out the flame to extinguish the candle. Avoid using water to extinguish the flame as it may cause splattering and damage to the container.
7. Storage: Store candles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent melting or warping of the container.
8. Disposal: Allow the candle to cool completely before handling or moving. Once the candle has cooled, discard any remaining wax and clean the container thoroughly before reusing or recycling.

Important: Failure to follow these safety guidelines may result in fire, injury, or property damage. By using our candles, you acknowledge and accept responsibility for candle safety.

Happy manifestation!
