Crying over your good fortune? That just won't due. Read this.

June 9 dont let em steal your mojoStressors of the week June 9, 2019: What will help me accept the good things in my life? Have you ever gotten sad when things are just getting  awesome and dreams are coming true?  It happens. Let’s ask the Coventry Oracle deck, how we can stop feeling guilty or sad and embrace the good in life?

Every Week the planets journey through our solar system and impact our lives in both helpful and antagonistic ways.  Coventry Creations products are here to help.

Card 1. Overcome your challenge – Money Draw Hoo Doo candle – “Stop feeling so poor and letting your fears (or guilt) tell you there is not enough to go around.”  This is called poverty mentality.  Did you know some very rich people struggle with fear around money and then start fearing people?  Don’t be like them, if you have prosperity in your life, it’s because you earned it.  Light the Money Draw candle to demonstrate you are a magnet for prosperity in any form.  Plus the Plus the best thing to do when you are abundant is to share. Be generous and keep the energy flowing

Card 2. Transform fears into strength – Gossip Stop Hoo Doo candle – “Clear out the negative chatter that makes life toxic.”  Sometimes people get jealous of your good fortune.  They don’t see the road you traveled to acquire your new car, beautiful home or great job. Honestly what they think about you is really none of your business.  Let them be and keep on feeling gratitude for what you have earned.  I know you want to be loved and appreciated, but if the ones around you can’t be loving, then they are not your people.  Light this candle to shield you from petty conversations that are there only to bring you down. There is absolutely no good reason to be ashamed of being successful.

Card 3. Create what you desire – Inner Beauty Affirmation candle – “It’s a fact that your brilliance attracts the energy that money is made of.”  Like attracts like and your good fortune was more than just luck. You have a beautiful soul and its working overtime to show you all the good karma you’ve earned. Don’t worry about whether or not you deserve this boon, you have, simply because it’s here. Embrace this mana from heaven and show your gratitude by making it grow, by sharing and by being happy.  Invest in your future, yourself and any other worthy cause that brings you joy. Light this candle and let it refelct back to you your beautiful soul.  You shine like a diamond.

Why does my social life suck?

June 2 2019 stop messing with my funStressors of the week June 2, 2019: How do I create more fun in my life? Oh Gemini you do inspire us to put ourselves out there, but let’s face it, we can sabotage even the best laid plans. Let’s ask the Coventry Oracle deck, how we can stop sabotaging our relationships and plans and have some well needed fun?

Every Week the planets journey through our solar system and impact our lives in both helpful and antagonistic ways.  Coventry Creations products are here to help.

Card 1. Overcome your challenge – Evil Eye Witches Brew candle – “Make sure your love affair, friendships or plans are clear of the jealous haters that can cause damaging drama.”  Are you surrounding yourself with the right people?  The best way for a fun evening to go south is to share it with people who worry too much, compete with you or are not in to you. Take care of you by lighting this candle and let it be your bouncer in your circle of “friends”.  

Card 2. Transform fears into strength – Querent Caller Hoo Doo candle – “You are the magnet for that love connection (friendships too) you are seeking. Send out the call and many will answer.”  If your inner voice is telling you that nobody likes you then it’s time to prove it wrong.  Light this candle, put on your party dress and a smile on your face and be the person you admire.  Like attracts like and if you want to be liked, you have to be likeable, just don’t cross the line of authenticity.  This way you will attract the right people into your life.

Card 3. Create what you desire – Protection Blessed Herbal candle – “It’s okay to keep a bit of yourself protected when beginning a relationship.”  There is good vulnerability and bad vulnerability.  On the one hand you want to let people in so they can get to know you and see they are with a real person. On the other hand you have to have healthy boundaries.  When you are not clear on the difference, light this protection candle and you will be cautioned when you are letting too much of your belly show.  It may come as a little sting to your ego or it may re-direct a person out of your life when you are not seeing that all they want from you is EVERYTHING.  Trust you are in good hands with Coventry candles and go have some fun with really cool people just like you!

Every Week the planets journey through our solar system and impact our lives in both helpful and antagonistic ways.  Coventry Creations products are here to help.

Card 1. Overcome your challenge – Adam & Eve Hoo Doo candle –You and your partner can be closer, feelings can be deeper, and the commitment stronger when you invite love back in. Love is a verb and it is time to start acting like it.  Believe it or not, how you respond to any situation is completely in you control.  If your hurt emotions are driving the bus, it’s time to take back the wheel.  You don’t have to respond to defensiveness with offensiveness. Use this candle to rekindle sweetness and compassion between you and your partner.

Card 2. Transform fears into strength – Emotional Balance Blessed Herbal candle – When you are at the end of your rope emotionally, it’s tempting to just let it fly, only to regret it later.  Balance the underlying emotional cause of your own defensiveness and release pent up emotions in healthy creative ways. Save yourself a ton of grief and light this candle to make sure your emotional release flows gently and in balance.   

Card 3. Create what you desire – Dragons Blood World Magic candle – Amp up your charisma times ten with the help of this candle and your every wish for happiness will be returned to you.  No need to let other’s bad moods get you down when love is present.  Nothing levels the playing field of relationships like self- love and knowing that others are loved too.  It cuts right through the veneer of the bad moon, defensiveness and plain old crabbiness. Light this candle and expand your awareness of love and manifest peace, love and good luck in your life.

We pulled three cards from our Coventry Magic Oracle decks to get the perfect message for this week.

Card 1. Overcome your challenge – Shut your Mouth Wicked Witch Mojo candle –Listen to your heart and not the chatter of those gossiping Monkeys.  It’s great to get advice but ultimately you have to make your own decisions.  After you have heard the good intentions of others, level the playing field by looking at all your options as equal.  Which decision are you most drawn to when there are no obstacles?  Burn this candle to help you shut our well meaning but bothersome overhelping from others.

Card 2. Transform fears into strength – Inner Balance – When the scales are balanced there is nothing left that needs to be healed. Indecision will create weakness and when we are weak we are scared.  How do you create inner balance?  You let the important elements of your life take precedent over the things that don’t matter and put your focus there. Burn this candle to create harmony between your mind and emotions.

Card 3. Create what you desire – New Moon Drawing Down the Moon candle – Everything is in position for you to let go of that final painful lesson.  What are you attached to?  Find out why so you can make the decision that is waiting to be made. Clear the path for your new beginnings. Burn this candle to prepare the way for the next chapter in your life, be it clean closets or a new career.

Every Week the planets journey through our solar system and impact our lives in both helpful and antagonistic ways.  Here is how you can use Coventry Creations products to help you balance out the astral energy of the week. 


April 14 2019

Stressors for the week: Aggressive words used in conversations trigger us. Things are moving too fast to be fully comprehended and can lead us to making mistakes. Pick a candle or three to help you with how you’re reacting.

 

Card 1. Overcome your challenge – Healing Affirmation candle – Your volatile emotions are gumming up the works.  They are sending messages of fear or anger or jealousy.  You’ve got some internal strife to reconcile.  Heal your heart so your emotions don’t make you so vulnerable to the energy around you.

Transform fears into strength – Tranquil Home Hoo Doo candle – In our safe space, a tranquil home, we are relaxed and take life at a slower pace.  Whatever you heard and how it was delivered can upset your apple cart if you let it.  This candle will help you rise above the aggression and stay peaceful within. That is where your strength lies.

Card 3. Create what you desire – Road Opener Hoo Doo candle – The world is your oyster shell. You can take any irritant and transform it into something precious.  Use this Road opener candle to help you stay open minded enough to turn any opposition into an opportunity to learn something impressive about yourself.  Create your own pearls of wisdom.
