May2023 FullMoon

Tis' the season of opulence! 

 
The New Moon Eclipse in Aries is urging us to release and surrender to the infinite possibility of what it means to start fresh. This is a moment in time to release all of your burdens, surrender what you cannot control, and let the energy of prosperity flow in with ease. As we work to release ourselves from the debris of outdated constructs, we can also take a look at our goals and how to be steadfast in our actions towards success. A level of trust is needed from within to work cooperatively with the Divine, so lay down your burdens and follow your heart as you walk into a new season of abundance! At Candle Wick, we offer a plethora of magical tools to assist with setting you on the right path to manifesting a prosperous year. Our Lakshmi and Ganesha candle works wonders in removing obstacles from your path while opening the floodgates of heaven to fulfill your heart's desires. Also, Mercury went into retrograde in the Earth sign of Taurus. Retrogrades are times for us to slow down, re-evaluate, and reflect. This time around, retrograde season is asking us to slow down and re-evaluate what we value in our relationships and business endeavors. With the residual Eclipse energy and a retrograde transiting the cosmos, we can feel quite uncomfortable during this time. Balance the energy with our Mercury Retrograde 'Neutralizer' spray from our Astro Magic Line. Our sprays serve as a practical application to energy work, when burning a candle is unfavorable. Get the tools you need to work this energy in your favor, and ensure your ultimate success.

Weekly Staff Pick- Rose of Jericho

Rose of Jericho

 

 

Rose of Jericho is a desert flower. It is the Resurrection Flower that brings needed change. In its dry form, it rolls around with the help of the desert winds, but on those rare occasions of rain, it will open up it's green limbs. When it dries up again, it will continue its journey. In your own home, it can be used as a spell to bring life or energy back in your domestic life. You can put it anywhere, but for re-energizing your home, the living or family room is best.

Just put into a bowl of water for a week. When the week is over, empty the bowl of water and let it shrivel back up. The following week, fill the bowl with water again. Repeat the spell as necessary, but if you don't need it anymore, just let it shrivel up and save it when you need it again. To bring money back in your home, follow the same ritual, but keep 5 coins in the bowl at all times.

 

We have them here at the shop!
