What's important to me?

1. Quality candles. The candle is the foundation. The candles I use are pure beeswax, hand dipped by another local business, Pollen Arts. Each candle has approximately a 60-minute burn time. Beeswax candles have a long history and have deep ties to ancient Egypt and are recorded as being burned in temples of Isis. Humans have used observation of a flickering flame as a way to reach altered states of consciousness for millennia! (Also see info on Lucia No. 3 Light for connections to ancient flame-gazing!) Burning beeswax allows for a fuller transmutation — there is typically little to nothing left behind after burning! Beeswax candles also emit negative ions while burning, drawing out pollutants and toxic energies from your space! Experiencing the alchemy of burning beeswax is truly something special!

2. Quality herbs, spices, resins, florals, oils, and essential oils. All of my herbs, spices, and florals that aren’t grown by me are from local businesses that source organic or wild-harvested products. These same businesses are where I source the essential oils I use. Base oils I use are always of the highest quality.

3. Ritual. By creating a container around the blessing and dressing process for my candles, I met profound new depths of myself and connection with my guides, ancestors, and angels. My rituals became more elaborate as I gain deeper self-knowledge and knowledge of the omniverse. Everything about the process and packaging is intentional, not just the candles! I cleanse the space, chant, sing, do card draws to help focus the intentions, infuse the candles with sound frequencies, and close out the process with gratitude for the blessings and guidance I received.
