Pagans, wiccans: do you use cross candles?

if you do, can you tell me why? also which colours you use and why?

the reason I'm asking is because I'm in the process of opening a metaphysical shop near Toronto Ontario. some of my suppliers carry these candles, but I'm not sure if they are actually useful or just a novelty item.

Also, what is the one item you think I absolutely need to carry??

Thanks!

Update:

Yup, the candles shaped like crosses, in black, green, pink, red and white. I think those are the only colours I saw.

I've already ordered lots of small tapered candles in every colour, extras in silver and gold. :)

    Cross candles, no never used them and probably won't.

    Novelty candles either. Just stock what you would use yourself and you won't go far wrong.

    Thing I would stock - Sage smudgesticks etc.

    People always like to look at cards too. Give them a few folders to leaf through and they will be there for hours :)

    Best of luck in your shoppe !

    Like a candle shaped like a cross? Otherwise not sure what you mean...but, no.

    Plain candles in assorted colors would be best.

    I don't, but then the cross holds no religious meaning for me.

    As for what you "absolutely need"? I don't know... what are you trying to do?

    Wicca is my religion; it's about my relationship with my Gods and how I live my life. As far as I'm concerned, that's all I need-- my Gods and to follow Wicca's tenets & philosophies.

    Material items are great for ritual and decoration, but I would not deem any of them necessary.

    No, I don't use cross candles.

    One item you should carry? Just one? jeez there are so many! ;) How bout dried herbs etc for making your own incense and satchels etc.
