I melted down about half a block of wax
Then ground up my herbs and mixed them together
When the wax was melted I added the color and the herbs. Once everything was mixed together I did the first pour
After 5 minutes I inserted the wicks, then waited until a well formed and did the second pour. Once they were all cool they popped right out and I trimmed the wicks. Here is the final result
I was quite surprised at how many candles I got out of so little wax. I may never buy candles again! I also have a kit with a larger mold that I'm thinking about trying next. Has anyone else tried their hand at making their own spell candles? How were your results?

Unfortunately i have n't found anywhere a kit like that, but i usually make my candles during Imbolc. This year i did n't. They are so much more powerful than those you buy. Your candles look lovely!
what kit did you use? They look GREAT!!
I used the Votive Kit from Michael's Craft Store. It came with the wax, wicks, thermometer, color and votive molds.
They really are quite lovely. :D
