Burning this candle, I am immediately in the market place in Morocco. This earthy, yet spicy, aroma makes me want to reach out and touch a traditional hand-woven rug along the Moroccan streets. Permeating and gentle, this candle will surely invigorate your senses. Perfect for burning during a bubble bath or with wine and a great book!

Celebrate the bright, flowery, fragrance of summer with our delightful Daffodil candle by Root! This beeswax blend candle is scented with an essential oil blend of bergamot, sweet melon, clove, lily and dashes of honeysuckle and vanilla. It’s available in a votive, small, and large Veriglass varieties.
I love the way this candle permeates the room, delicately, as I get wisked away to a field of daffordils.

Hello all! 7 Day candles are back at Candle Wick Shoppe, by popular demand, and we've been getting lots of questions about them, and I'm writing this to answer a few of them!
What do the different colors mean?
Red: Love, attraction and passion.
Pink: Self love and wishes.
Yellow: Happiness and positive energy.
Green: Money draw and earth connections.
Blue: Court case magic, truth, and communication.
Purple: Psychic awareness and good judgement.
Brown: Court case magic and grounding.
Black: Protection and hexing.
White: Healing and cleansing.
How do I use a 7 Day?
Pick the candle color based on what you are doing, then the herbs and oils. I'll use Money magic as an example; you would want to get a green 7 Day candle, at least three herbs, and between one and three oils (you usually only need one, if you used the herbs). Mix the herbs together (for Money Draw work, I'd use High John root, Patchouli and Five Finger Grass), and put a Money Draw oil on the candle, then put the herb mixture on the top of the candle. Use any extra herbs/oil in a sachet or mojo bag and carry it with you, and burn the candle for seven days. I recommend starting on a Sunday, and finishing the candle the next Saturday, to finish out the week.
Does the color matter that much?
I want to say yes, but sometimes there are other factors that come into play when you're about to buy your candle. For instance, you might know that green is the 7 Day color you should use for money, but you feel like the red one would work better for you. OR we could be out of brown 7 Day candles; how are you going to do that court case magic now!? Blue will work just as well. Take into account how you feel and what symbolizes what to you too.
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!
I always keep a Votivo candle around the house. My favorites are Tuscan Olive and Bright Leaf Tobacco. Their beautiful fragrance fills a room even when they are not lit. I usually light a Votivo candle for just an hour or less and the aroma lingers all day. When our rep comes into the store the whole staff wrestles over the samples he leaves us! I have given many as gifts because they are such beautiful smelling high quality soy candles. Votivo candles are 10% off all of September, so come by and take one home. Your house will thank you.
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!
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.
I love all of the Buddha-related things we have at the shop, but I believe the beeswax Burn-the-Buddha's are my absolute favorite. When you burn a Buddha figure candle it means that you are letting go of something, mainly letting go of material thoughts and possessions. Buddha teaches us to not get attached to material things, and I think it's very important that, from time to time, we take a look at the things we have and give some of it away. I personally light a Burn-the-Buddha whenever I decide it's about time to clean house and take some things to Good Will, and since the upcoming season is one of giving, I thought this would be the perfect time to tell everyone about these candles.
So, come on! Light the wick and clean out your closet. You'll be glad you did.
