Celebrate the bright, flowery, fragrance of summer with our delightful Daffodil candle by Root! This beeswax blend candle is scented with an essential oil blend of bergamot, sweet melon, clove, lily and dashes of honeysuckle and vanilla. It’s available in a votive, small, and large Veriglass varieties.

I love the way this candle permeates the room, delicately, as I get wisked away to a field of daffordils.

Murray & Lanman’s Florida Water

Florida water is an incredibly universal tool for the physical world as well as the spiritual. I always like to say you can use it to cleanse your face or your sacred space. Highly effective astringent properties make it a useful aftershave and face-rinse. You may sprinkle it about your sacred area to cleanse the energy, or objects that have accumulated unwanted energy. As someone that practices healing arts in both spiritual and energetic means as well as the physical via herbal remedies and cures, this is a useful tool in my “magic bag” or my medicine chest.

This item is a must have for any healer or magical practitioner.

What's that you said? You want to be able to practice your craft, but hate that your altar won't fit into your back pocket? Well, here's a nifty idea for you. Why not make a travel altar. As always with anything I write about, these little gems are very easy to customize to your individual needs. 

This is just an example of what you can do to make yourself a travel altar. Grab a small box , decorate as you wish or buy one ready made (this lovely box and it's contents are available at the Candle Wick Shoppe, everything is sold separately) and add whatever you would like to have in your travel altar. Try some oil, a tiny altar tile, incense, a gem, a small feather and sage,whatever is small enough to fit in the box you have chosen. The possibilities are only limited to what you can't think of or fit in your box.
It's incredibly convenient for those times when you have the urge to practice and you are away from your traditional sized altar. I've even seen travel altars made out of breath mint tins that were decorated! It's all up to the person creating it and what they want. So have fun with it. The sky is the limit.

Altar Bells are used in a variety of different rituals and religions. They can be used to signify transition, clear the air of negativity and even as a part of the ritual. They come in a variety of sizes and tones. I recommend using a bell which has a tone that sounds best to you. Each bell's tone resonates differently for each user. Once again one of those items I find to be versatile and useful. I have my favorite from our line we offer, but I'll let you come on in and see what calls to you.

Altar tiles hold a variety of uses depending on the user and the user's intent. They can be used or anything from a coaster to hold libation, to a focusing object to be used during rituals. The come in a variety of shapes, sizes, colors, materials, and even spiritual/religious reference. Altar tiles can be symbolic of deities, or even used to consecrate tools, herbs, or candles for the user's personal altar and beliefs.

The uses for altar tiles are endless. They are so easily adapted to what the user wants and needs. This is just one of the reason I love them. 

Here at Candle Wick, we've recently added a few to our line that we offer. We have a variety of sizes, material, and designs. I've already acquired one of these beauties for myself. 

No clock too big, no clock too small, come to Candle Wick we have them all!

We recently brought some lovely vintage clocks into the shop and they are too gorgeous not to share with all of you. Each clock varies in size and styles; some look like something out of the Baroque period whilst others look more Victorian. All of them are battery operated, and range from $15.95 to $24.95 in price and are selling fast. They make a great addition to your home and match well with just about any decor. I'm buying one for myself, so you better come on down before the one you want is gone!
