Thoughts, staff picks, and lots of fun.

Shannon's Pick: Books!

This week, I chose to put our books as my choice for the staff pick. Our books at the store range from learning how to use crystals and herbs to how-to books on candles, akashic records, and more recently, even books on reiki! Some of our books are written by our very own Jacki Smith and Patty Shaw! If that's not reason enough to come check them out, I don't know what is! We have a wonderful selection of books here at the Candle Wick Shoppe, and I recommend everyone that can to come check out this great collection!

Crystals!

Crystals!

Hello all! This month our staff pick is on all of our stones and crystals. This means that until Saturday (January 17th) they will be 15% off. 

While I was deciding on what I wanted to pick this week, I found myself wandering around the store with a Smokey Quartz sphere in my hand, and it occurred to me that I've rarely written about the stones, so here we are!

In case you've never used stones in your magical/daily activities, they're wonderful for the witch-on-the-go, especially if you're too busy to do candle or herb work. Whenever I my schedule gets super busy, I tend to work more with stones than candles; I carry them in my pocket or wear them in necklace cages, etc. Here's a short list of some of my favorite stones; I use these for almost anything. From love and money matters to healing and prosperity, these stones get you going:

  • Moonstone: Use Moonstone to balance your emotions on those overwhelming days. This stone is an emotional stabilizer and is also very soothing to have on you. 
  • Gold Tiger's Eye: This stone is great for courage, creativity and strength, but one of it's minor uses is protection while traveling. It's that very reason, however, that I often find myself wearing it in new situations. Traveling doesn't necessarily have to be from place-to-place; traveling outside of your comfort zone also takes a lot of courage, and Tiger's Eye is perfect for that.
  • Quartz Stones: There are many kinds of Quartz stones, but I find Rose Quartz and Rutilated Quartz the most helpful during those stressful times. Rose Quartz, often used for attracting love, also works in your favor by helping you with self love. Rutilated Quartz eases fears and worries, as well as anxieties.
