Hag Torches: Illuminate Your Craft
Step into the rich heritage of witchcraft with our enchanting Hag Torches, a traditional tool that marries history, intention, and the magick of fire. Once a staple among witches and practitioners of the craft, hag torches have been used for centuries to illuminate rituals, create sacred spaces, protecting and connecting with the unseen forces of nature.
Historically, hag torches were crafted from Mullen and burned to ward off negative energies while inviting protective spirits during rituals and gatherings. Named after the wise women (often referred to as hags) who were the keepers of herbal lore and magick, these torches symbolize the empowerment of the feminine and the ancient practices that have transcended generations. The flames of the hag torches served as a beacon, guiding and protecting witches as they navigated the mystical realms.
Our Hag Torches are beautifully crafted with mullein, a potent herb known for its protective and purifying qualities. Mullein has long been associated with strength in vulnerability, spiritual journeying, and protection, making it an ideal component for these torches. The combination of this powerful herb and beeswax with the candle’s flame creates a sacred atmosphere, fostering grounding and safety while invoking your intentions. These torches used as a spell can clear unwanted emotions as well as connect one to their ancestors as well as the witch ancestors of our past lives.
In modern practice, witches burn hag torches to honor this age-old tradition, utilizing them in rituals, spellwork, and ceremonies to enhance their connection to the divine and the spirit world. Lighting a hag torch invites the energies of protection and intuition, allowing you to embrace the wisdom of the ancients.
Our Hag Torches are available in black and natural colored beeswax, allowing you to choose the hue that resonates with your magical vibrations. The black beeswax torches embody protection, banishment, and the transformative power of the night, while the natural beeswax torches reflect purity, clarity, manifestation, and the straightforward essence of nature. Each torch is thoughtfully handmade, ensuring that they not only ignite your rituals but also maintains the integrity of tradition. Names also historically used have been, witches candle, Jupiter rod, hags taper, and Mullen torch.
Available in both small and medium sizes, our Hag Torches can be placed on your altar, held during rituals, or used to light your sacred space with intention. Light a hag torch and let its flame burn brightly, infusing your practice with the protective qualities of mullein as you connect with the wisdom of the ancients, allowing your craft to flourish in the warmth of its glow. Embrace the power of history and tradition in your practice by incorporating these beautiful torches into your magical toolkit. Please do not leave torches unattended while burning, can be used in candle holders.
