Calling all explorers of the inner realms! Are you ready to embark on a mystical journey to the heart of your being? At ConVocation 2024, we invite you to delve into the profound depths of Hod and Yesod, where intellect and foundation intertwine in a harmonious dance of spiritual evolution.

Imagine soaring through the vibrant halls of Hod, the realm of pure intellect and razor-sharp thought. Here, we'll sharpen our minds, engage in stimulating discourse, and unlock new avenues of understanding. But the journey doesn't stop there! We'll then descend into the grounding embrace of Yesod, the sphere of intuition, emotion, and the very bedrock of our being. In this fertile space, we'll nurture our inner foundations, cultivate emotional mastery, and connect with the wisdom whispers of our hearts.

This is not just a theoretical exploration; it's a transformative experience. Through guided meditations, insightful workshops, and powerful rituals, we'll bridge the gap between intellect and intuition, logic and feeling. We'll discover how these seemingly disparate realms harmoniously complement each other, forming the cornerstone of a balanced and fulfilling spiritual life.

Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or a curious newcomer, ConVocation 2024 offers a space for growth, connection, and profound self-discovery. Join us as we:

• Unravel the intricate tapestry of Hod and Yesod, uncovering their hidden secrets and transformative potential.

• Learn from renowned teachers and facilitators who will guide us through practical exercises and insightful teachings.

• Connect with a vibrant community of like-minded seekers on a path of spiritual exploration and personal growth.

• Emerge from this immersive experience with a renewed sense of clarity, purpose, and a deeper understanding of your own inner landscape.

So pack your metaphorical bags, dear fellow travelers, and prepare to embark on a life-changing adventure. Let us meet at the crossroads of intellect and foundation, where the mysteries of Hod and Yesod await to be unveiled. Remember, the key to a harmonious spiritual journey lies in the exquisite balance between head and heart, thought and feeling. See you there!

So I was sitting and thinking, what can I pick, that we have in the store, that I absolutely love, and I haven't picked yet? Then it hit me, Wall Scrolls!!! I like to say I'm grumpy in the morning. Coffee and caffeine don't quite do the trick. I have book of inspirational quotes for the smart alack. I have to listen to some music with high energy (usually metal of some sort) and read a quote to get my morning giggle in. Not too long a go, I found a scroll that I absolutely loved, bought it, and now reading that scroll is apart of my morning giggle/ happy though before coffee. So, I've decided to spread the love and share the scrolls at 15% off in store only for the New Year kick start. Sale starts January 4th and ends January 10th.

Well Hello Lovelies!!!! It's getting colder, and you know what that means. Time to snuggle up with a blanket, cup of hot cocoa and a few warm scented candles burning around as you relax in your footed Batman PJ's. Ok, I may be the only one with the footed Batman PJ's, but you get the idea. So from November 9^th to November 15^th  the instore special will be Root's Fall scent collection. Come in to the store and get 15% off of any root fall scent candle.

Hey there Lovelies. Lately, I've been trying to manifest a few things that would make life in general more comfortable. Yeah, comfortable would be the word I'm looking for. I'll just come out and say it. I've been trying to get a new car. So I've been burning a combination of Lakshmi, Blessed Herbal Attraction, and Blessed Herbal Stability, all of which I've anointed with Blessed Herbal Attraction Oil, Witch's Brew Dragon's blood oil, and Motor City Hoo Doo Road Opener Oil. I wrote my intention on all three candles with a push pin. My Lakshmi has been torching pretty hard. 

Hello Lovelies!! It's that time of year where my inner witch gets amplified. Not like it needed to be amplified, I'm just able to wear my pointy hat in public without being judged. That being said, my pick for the 15% off sale are wiccan and witch essentials. Cauldrons, altar tiles, altar cloths, altar bells, and altar boxes. So embrace your inner witch and enjoy fall with me!

So the head evil geniuses here at the Candle Wick Shoppe have given this little witch a tiny smidgen of power over something.(insert maniacal laughter with fake mustache twirling) So this week I have been given the honor of picking a few items and offering a discount! That's right lovelies, you read that correct. I get to pick my favorite items in the shop, and let you guys get them at a discount. I've chosen the Soziety collection from Votivo! They are available in store at 15% off. So hurry on in and grab the amazing smells while they last.

Well hello lovelies! I'm here to let you guys all in on our newest project for your viewing entertainment. We have started a YouTube series called ask the candle ExperT. This series is totally interactive. and by interactive, I mean you as the viewer will be able to send in an email your questions, and have them answered by our candle experTs. if you do not want to be identified on the video, simply use a code name so we are able to help. yes you may send in silly questions, as well as serious . You can email the Candle Experts for the series at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

We truly hope to help people while everyone has fun at the same time. So let's get those questions rolling in.

So as everyone knows, I tend to write solely what I believe is able to be customized to situations. But what if you have a very specific situation that needs addressing? What if you need a little help finding what candles, herbs, stones etc. that would help you better the situation? Well I'm glad you asked! Usually, I'd tell you to come to the shop and allow me to pull something specific to your situation. Well, What if you can't get  to the shop? You may be an online customer. That doesn't mean that I have forgotten about you guys. I thought I would let you in on a tiny snippet of what I use for various situations in my life, and you could use that as a guide.

For the last couple weeks my honey and I have been a wee bit more that a little ruffled with each other. For various reasons we've had a little time apart. During that time apart, I decided to take advantage of all the advice I give to others in similar situations, and light some candles, take a bubble bath, and have a tasty libation of some sort.

Here's what I did. I grabbed my Happiness Blessed Herbal Candle, Love's Enchantment Blessed Herbal Candle , Energy and Will Blessed Herbal Candle, Heart Blessed Herbal Candle, and Healing Blessed Herbal Candle, grabbed my pie plate I use for candles only, rubbed on a couple drops of Everything and Then Some oil and set the wicks ablaze. I stated out loud my intention, which just so happened to be to smooth things out with my honey and return us to the happiness that was our norm, wrote down the specifics of our situation and burned the paper.

Pretty simple really. That can easily be customized to any woes that may be troubling you. Now go and smooth out and state your intention to the universe. If you never ask, how are you to receive?

So you know you need a little magic but you aren't quite sure what you need. Never fear, Coventry Magic Oracle is here. Both in store and on the Coventry Creations website, the Magic Oracle is a tool that is used to help you find the help you need. And the best part, it's absolutely free to use! Similar to a three card tarot spread, you pick what category you need help in, pick one of the three spreads, and then you pick the three cards that call to you. Simple, easy to use, and now ONLINE.

The Link Is Below! So go on over, try it out, and see what the universe wants to bring your way.

Here at the Candle Wick Shoppe, we have our lovely ready made mini Mojo bags ready to grab and go. However, what if we don't carry a bag that suits your needs? Maybe you just want to create your own version of what we have. Well friend, you're in luck. I'm going to tell you what to do to create your own Mojo bag.

All a Mojo bag really is is a bag of herbs, oils, and stones that are mixed together and empowered with the intention and energy of the maker for a specific use. You want to use a fabric in the color of your intention, along with herbs, oils and stones with the same intention. As you mix the herbs, oils, and stones together, you want to envision your intent and imagine your energy is flowing from your hands into the mixture. Feel free to light candles, invoke spirits/gods/ancestors/protectors as you are creating your own little magical pouch. This is your ritual, so please customize it to suit your needs and personal beliefs.

If you have been following my blogs, then you already know what I am going to say. That's right kiddies. These little gems are able to be customized to you. I always recommend doing your research on the herbs, oils, and stones you intend on using. We here at the Candle Wick Shoppe have an amazing selection to choose from, but you may be surprised at what you can find in your own back yard. 

So just a quick break from the spiritual realm to tell all of you lovelies about the new smell goods we have here in the shoppe. I am totally obsessed with this line from Votivo. Instead of having the normal description of scent as the name of the candle, they have used colors as a title for these candles. Just from the look and feel of these candles, I can tell they are a soy blend. All of the scents are intoxicating, complex and wonderful. I Have finally narrowed my favorites down to three of the eight different colors/ scents.

Right now we carry the large candle poured lovingly in a white glass held in a beautiful decorative trapezoidal case. Here is a quick close up for you guys.

You may want to hurry in and pick out your favorite from this new line before they are all gone. Judging from the gorgeous smell of these, they will be gone very soon.
