Triqueta Gold Candle Snuffer

A candle snuffer safely and effectively extinguishes candles. This triquetra candle snuffer gently puts out the flame without causing the wick to smoulder or splatter, something that often happens when you blow a candle out directly.

The Symbolism of the Triquetra Design

The triquetra, also known as the trinity knot, represents the threefold nature found across many traditions, from maiden, mother and crone to mind, body and spirit. Using this snuffer to extinguish a candle symbolises the controlled release of the energy raised during a ritual. This peaceful, deliberate action honours the element of fire while maintaining the balance of the energy you have created.

Rather than blowing a candle out, which some traditions consider disrespectful to the fire element, snuffing offers a quieter, more intentional close to any working.

Using Your Candle Snuffer

Lower the bell gently over the flame and hold it steady until the smoke clears completely. This prevents the smoky, acrid smell that comes from blowing a candle out.
