Candle Wick Shoppe Blog

Hey there Lovelies. Lately, I've been trying to manifest a few things that would make life in general more comfortable. Yeah, comfortable would be the word I'm looking for. I'll just come out and say it. I've been trying to get a new car. So I've been burning a combination of Lakshmi, Blessed Herbal Attraction, and Blessed Herbal Stability, all of which I've anointed with Blessed Herbal Attraction Oil, Witch's Brew Dragon's blood oil, and Motor City Hoo Doo Road Opener Oil. I wrote my intention on all three candles with a push pin. My Lakshmi has been torching pretty hard. 

So as everyone knows, I tend to write solely what I believe is able to be customized to situations. But what if you have a very specific situation that needs addressing? What if you need a little help finding what candles, herbs, stones etc. that would help you better the situation? Well I'm glad you asked! Usually, I'd tell you to come to the shop and allow me to pull something specific to your situation. Well, What if you can't get  to the shop? You may be an online customer. That doesn't mean that I have forgotten about you guys. I thought I would let you in on a tiny snippet of what I use for various situations in my life, and you could use that as a guide.

For the last couple weeks my honey and I have been a wee bit more that a little ruffled with each other. For various reasons we've had a little time apart. During that time apart, I decided to take advantage of all the advice I give to others in similar situations, and light some candles, take a bubble bath, and have a tasty libation of some sort.

Here's what I did. I grabbed my Happiness Blessed Herbal Candle, Love's Enchantment Blessed Herbal Candle , Energy and Will Blessed Herbal Candle, Heart Blessed Herbal Candle, and Healing Blessed Herbal Candle, grabbed my pie plate I use for candles only, rubbed on a couple drops of Everything and Then Some oil and set the wicks ablaze. I stated out loud my intention, which just so happened to be to smooth things out with my honey and return us to the happiness that was our norm, wrote down the specifics of our situation and burned the paper.

Pretty simple really. That can easily be customized to any woes that may be troubling you. Now go and smooth out and state your intention to the universe. If you never ask, how are you to receive?

The beginning of a new year is a perfect time for change and getting to work on those things that, during the last year, you "didn't have time to do" or "could wait until the next year to do." I couldn't pick just one candle, so I have a couple that could come in handy with preparing for January 1st. 

1. The Transition Blessing Kit from Coventry Creations is appropriate for making an easy transition into 2014 and contains three votives: Needed Changes, Inspiration and Prosperity Blessed Herbal votives. Use these three candles to inspire positive changes in the upcoming year. 
   
   I welcome this time of transition. I open the door to positive change in my life, freeing me from my past limitations. I am inspired to travel in a new direction of abundance.
   
   
2. The first New Moon of 2014 lands on the first day of the year, making it the perfect time to use the New Moon candle from Coventry Creations' Drawing Down the Moon line. Light this candle on the first day of January (the New Moon starts at 6:15 in the morning, eastern time) to promote change, for the dawning of a New Moon is the ideal time to start your resolutions, for it is a time for new beginnings and change.
