Candle Wick Shoppe Blog

I could never resist a good pun. Hence, the title.

My staff pick for this month is our selection of Wicked Good herbs, which means that until February 21st, they're all 15% off! We bag these herbs in the shop, and put nothing but good energy into them. The newest editions to the herbs under this label are the Vanilla Bean (used for love magic) and the Mojo Wish Bean (used for wish/money magic); both of which are only two dollars. 

We've expanded on our custom mojo bags! Here at Candle Wick, we're always coming up with new concoctions for you to carry for whatever it is you need, and we've done so again by adding on five new mojo bags to the ones we sell here in the shop. 

Introducing (drum roll please):

Calming: This herbal combination is to help you if the day-to-day stresses are becoming too much. Carry it close to you, in your pocket or around your neck, and let the soothing energy wash over you.

Dreams: Put this one under your pillow for vivid, clearer, or prophetic dreams. This may be assistance for those of you that don't regularly remember your dreams.

Happiness: Who doesn't need a little bit of happiness? Hold this mojo bag in your right hand while you meditate and let the good feelings run through you.

Passion: This one is a little bit tricky, because passion could not only relate to the romantic sector of your life, but to how passionate you are about your job, about your interests, etc. If you're trying to reignite the flame between you and someone else, I would suggest wearing it around your neck. If for work, put it in your purse. 

Wishes: Hold the wishes bag in both of your hands and tell it your desires. Put it under your pillow nightly and sleep on it. Do this until you feel confident that your wishes have been sent out into the universe and that someone is working on getting those desires for you.

We also make healing, love, money draw, protection and psychic awareness bags for more mojo wherever you go. Come on down and pick yours up today, they're only three dollars! AND if there's something that we have yet to make a bag for that you're interested in, please feel free to ask us to put one together for you!

Hello, all! I've been on a writing kick for the last few days, and when my creative gears start moving, they usually start with my mojo bag creations. Here are a few unique mojo bag ideas I've been working with based on the herbs we have in the Candle Wick Shoppe. If you're wondering if we have herbs that could help you with what you are working on, or that focus on something specific, please feel free to contact us on facebook with your questions.

A Dream Mojo Bag: Add wormwood to this mojo bag for prophetic dreams.

• Chamomile: Draws you into a peaceful sleep.
• Mullein: Use to keep away nightmares. 
• Rosemary: The herb of remembrance; using this will help you to remember your dreams.
• Sage: Will create more vivid dreams.
• Amethyst: For intuition and wisdom; will assist you with understanding your dreams.

For Studying/Tests: 

• Vervain: Assists one with retaining knowledge.
• Calendula: Add this to your mojo bag for a little bit of positive energy; studying tends to create a lot of stressful energy, and you want to counter that. The herb also helps one to concentrate. 
• Scullcap: Promotes peace and relaxation.
• Bay Leaf (ground): Add a little bit of ground bay leaf for success in your endeavors.
• Mahogany Obsidian: The finishing touch; add this for grounding and concentration. 

To Bring Paying Clients:

• Jezebel Root: Attracts wealthy patrons. 
• Patchouli: "Patchouli's grounded energy helps you be your true divine self, thus attracting people and promoting their cooperation and possible partnership."
• High John Root: Brings luck; often a base for money mojo bags.
• Raw Garnet: Promotes success in business affairs.

When I began learning about herbs and their metaphysical properties my favorite way to use them was in Mojo Bags and pouches. Creating Mojo Bags is one of the most fun and simplest ways to use herbs for whatever it is that you need. Depending on what you're trying to accomplish, where you have your Mojo Bag is very important. Carry a Money Draw bag in your purse to help you attract prosperity and money-making opportunities, and keep a Protection bag in the glove compartment of your car when you drive (I find this gives me a bit of peace of mind). Or if you're trying to attract that special someone carry a Love bag in your pocket the next time you go out for a night on the town. 

We have great Make-Your-Own Mojo Bag Kits available here and they come with up to five herbs, a stone, and a small pouch with step-by-step instructions on how to create your Mojo Bag and cards on each individual herb and the stone and what they do within the mixture.
