Black Snake Candle for Gothic Decorations

In many cultures, each year is associated with an animal believed to influence the energy of that year. 2025 is the Year of the Snake – a creature symbolizing transformation, wisdom, and protection. Having a snake nearby is thought to attract clarity, renewal, and strong instincts. That makes this candle more than decor – it’s a unique candle and a meaningful gift for someone starting a new chapter. Whether you’re into gothic candles or just love weird gifts with purpose, this cobra brings charm and symbolism together.

No — all of our candles are unscented candles. We chose a fragrance-free formula to let the candle’s visual impact speak for itself and to avoid clashing with other scents in your space.

Yes, as long as you follow basic candle safety rules. Always place our black candles on a heat-resistant surface with raised edges to catch melted wax – a shallow dish or plate works great. Never leave your octopus decor unattended while burning, and keep it away from children, pets, curtains, and drafts. This unique candle burns clean and steady, but its sculptural shape means melted wax can flow unpredictably, especially as the wick gets lower. We recommend trimming the wick before each use and burning in 2–3 hour intervals for best results.

Some wax movement is natural, especially with sculptural designs. We recommend placing the candle on a dish or tray with edges to catch any melting wax and keep your surface clean.

The candle is hand-poured from a custom wax blend – 80% paraffin and 20% soy – for a smooth, long-lasting burn. It's fully unscented and free from added dyes or fragrances. Designed as a sculptural gothic candle, it doubles as weird decor even when not in use. Whether you're into witch decor, skull decor, or just love unique candles, this one was made to stand out.

It burns for up to 30 hours – the longest in our collection. That's thanks to its tall sculptural shape and dense wax body. Whether you light it for spooky ambiance or simply admire it as a weird candle or goth gift, it offers lasting atmosphere with every use. Perfect for gothic decorations or as one of those fun gifts with a dark twist.

Yes – despite its curved design, this gothic candle has a balanced base that keeps it stable on flat surfaces. Still, we recommend placing it on a sturdy shelf, decorative tray, or plate to catch melted wax and keep your space clean. Like other weird stuff made for gothic decor, it deserves a spot where it can burn safely and be fully appreciated. Whether you’re using it for black decorations or gifting it as one of those truly useful gifts, stability won’t be a problem.

Absolutely. Each candle comes in a custom-designed box that’s part of the experience. It’s the kind of gift that works as a funny surprise, a gothic keepsake, or even a birthday gift for someone who loves aesthetic decorations. Whether you're shopping for fun gifts, useful gifts, or something unusual for women who love dark decor — this one delivers.

Currently, we don’t support gift messaging or gift-wrapping options on Shopify. However, our Amazon page offers full gift support — including discreet packaging and gift notes.

Not at all. While they shine during spooky season as one of your halloween indoor decorations, their bold sculptural style make them ideal for year-round use. Display them as aesthetic decorations, add a touch of gothic atmosphere to your shelf, or gift them as conversation-starting pieces well beyond October.
