Van Van Dressed Candle | Luck, Protection & New Opportunities

Our dressed candles are infused with oils and may contain herbs, crystals, and spiritual curios, each made with intention. Once they arrive at The Village Mystic, they are blessed by Shaman Jeff.

Van Van is a traditional Hoodoo recipe that has been worked with for generations to help clear away negative energy, remove obstacles, open the road to new opportunities, and attract good luck, prosperity, and positive change. Often used in spiritual cleansing and protection work, Van Van is believed to help shift stagnant energy while bringing in blessings connected to money, success, love, and new beginnings.

For ritual work, burn the candle while taking a cleansing bath or during prayer, meditation, or intention setting. Many people write their desires on a piece of paper and place it beneath the candle while it burns. After extinguishing the candle, it is traditional to drip a small amount of the melted wax just outside your door for continued luck, protection, and blessings entering the home.
