Patty positively is my handle here at Coventry Creations. It was given to me years ago by Shelly. She saw me as the most positively inclined person she’d ever met. Sometimes she called me Patty Prozac, though funny, it’s not my favorite.

Jacki Smith is one of my most important rol models. As someone who aspires to be an entreprenuer in the magical and spiritual communiity, she is a great person to watch and learn from. Her motivation and ambition is inspirational. I can feel her powerful magic before she arrives just to say "Hi!" and check on the store. She is very dedicated to her craft and business, and that makes you feel protected, nurtured and included. I can only dream to be as successful and icredible as Jacki Smith. I would love to thank her for allowing me to be part of the Candle Wick Shoppe family and wish her a Fantastic Month of Jacki!

I didn’t know Jacki before I started working here at the Candle Wick Shoppe. Even as a customer, I was unaware of this magnificent lady. Working with Jacki has been filled with a wealth of priceless information. I had the great opportunity to work with Jacki a bit to help set up the Mojo Bar. Her process is an amazing thing to witness! Then she trained me in the process of assisting customers with creating a Mojo Bag or Conjure Jar for their needs was nothing short of amazing.
Jacki is extremely empowering, uplifting, and humble. She celebrates other's successes, which is a fantastic thing to witness. Jacki's dedication to being of service to others, assisting them in manifesting their intentions is, yet, another great example of the type of woman she is. Not only has she enhanced my conjuring and magical life, but her example of service to others through love has
deepened my desire to be of further service to others.
Thank you for being awesomely you!

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!
Happy October, all! Our Autumn and Dia de Los Muertos items are in! Pictured above are our sugar skull banks, but we also have a ton of magnets, mugs and key chains depicting sugar skulls. Other Fall favorites that are back in stock at CWS include the Autumn scents from Root (Mulled Cider, Pumpkin Spice, and our new favorite Salted Caramel candles), and Coventry Creations Ghost Candles and Halloween candles! Stop in and pick up your Autumn needs!
Okay, guys. This is how it goes. I get to tell you what my favorite thing in the store right now is. Ready? Alright, my staff pick is the Cleo Mae candle! I chose this candle because it's all about empowerment and attraction. This candle will help any woman succeed in domination. Not only will it give you power, but combine that with a high-powered attractant and you've got it made! Just be careful, though. You might get more power than you're ready for! You may just want to use it in small doses. Either way, get ready, because here you come!
So you know you need a little magic but you aren't quite sure what you need. Never fear, Coventry Magic Oracle is here. Both in store and on the Coventry Creations website, the Magic Oracle is a tool that is used to help you find the help you need. And the best part, it's absolutely free to use! Similar to a three card tarot spread, you pick what category you need help in, pick one of the three spreads, and then you pick the three cards that call to you. Simple, easy to use, and now ONLINE.
The Link Is Below! So go on over, try it out, and see what the universe wants to bring your way.
If you in anyway follow my blog, you know my obsession with versatility in spiritual tools. Todays topic revolves something that can be both spiritual and non-spiritual. You can simply use them to create an AMAZING smelling environment. I am speaking about essential oils/oil blends, and oil burners.
In my time working for the Candle Wick Shoppe, I have encountered many customers who were interested in oils and burners for various reasons. Not all of those customers knew how to use an oil burner or even the oils.
Let's start with essential oils. There are so many uses for essential oils, that this humble blog post may have to turn into a series just to do them an ounce of justice. I always recommend research before using any product. When it comes to oils, I recommend researching if a chosen oil is skin safe, artificial, blended, etc., so you will know what type of use can be applied. I like to make sure my oils are skin safe. Why, you ask? Because I like to wear my oils as well as use them in an oil burner. They can be used for anointing during rituals, or used in place of perfume or cologne.I have my favorite oil blend which has it's own intended purpose.
When it comes to oil burners, you want a sturdy, stable base that is heat/ flame proof and safe to burn a tea light candle under. NEVER leave a flame UNATTENDED!!!! That is extremely important. When it comes to the bowl that holds the oils, I prefer one that is detachable to help with easy clean up, but that is simply a personal preference. When heating oils, I always recommend placing a small amount of water in the bowl as well as a few drops of oil. This does a few things. One, it insures a customizable level of fragrance. Two, it prevents the oil from scorching and leaving a horrid burnt oil smell. Three, EASY CLEAN UP!!
Here at Candle Wick, we have a great variety of oils, and more than a few burners. Why not stop by and peruse our selection.
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.
The Happy Home Blessed Herbal Candle from Coventry Creations is one that I am very fond of and use quite frequently. It can be used for a number of different reasons around the house; anything from calming down tension between family members to promoting good vibes in the house, and is also part of the votive trio for the Pet Blessing and Happy Marriage Blessing Kits. Happy Home combines the scents of orange blossom, rose, and myrrh to create a welcoming aroma that is also quite cheerful.
