A handmade soy wax candle from a collection based on the 22 cards of the Tarot's Major Arcana (from the Latin arcānus, "mystery"). Taken together, the 22 cards can be read as a person's spiritual path from birth to perfection.
This candle carries number 5 of the Major Arcana, The Hierophant. The card stands for tradition, principles and respect for the values all people share. It watches over any group working towards a common aim, be it a family, a team of colleagues or a religious community, and passes on the rules of the cosmos and the collective wisdom of humankind.
Each candle comes with one of the 22 Major Arcana cards. Read next to The Hierophant, it hints at how and at what level this archetype shows up in your life. The scent of juniper berries, liquorice, lilac, myrrh and opium, used with the suggested affirmations, is meant to strengthen partnership, bring harmony to the family and encourage teamwork.
The fragrance draws on old customs and the belief that every plant and scent has its own magical purpose. It works a little like a witch's recipe, where each ingredient has both an aromatherapy role and a magic one. The main notes complement each other and form a high-end fragrance pyramid in which every scent has its place.
- Juniper berries: said to build consistency and perseverance, help you recognise lies and stand up to them, protect the aura from aggression and find a way out of difficult situations. The scent is also linked with avoiding self-directed, destructive irritation, earning deserved authority and developing qualities such as nobility and grace.
- Liquorice: used in incense since ancient times. Its aroma is associated with youth, sexuality, charm and physical health, and with stamina and long life.
- Lilac: lifts the mood, supports ideas of common good and partnership, and raises mood and personality to a higher spiritual level.
- Opium: brings deeper problems to the surface so they can be understood, and helps you analyse the causes and effects of events and situations.
- Myrrh: helps put thoughts in order without getting lost in irrelevant details. It suits meditation especially well, as it keeps self-centred thoughts away, calms irritated emotions and improves sleep.
With the candle you get:
- a detailed description of the candle's purpose
- an explanation of the meanings of its magical aroma
- a card from the maker's own Tarot deck, whose meaning points to the current quality of The Hierophant archetype in you
- a simple meditation and affirmation ritual that brings out the power of the candle. It balances and harmonises the energy of The Hierophant, who is always in harmony with himself and with others, and helps to strengthen partnership, bring harmony to the family and encourage teamwork.
Affirmations (from the Latin affirmatio, "declaration") are positive statements we repeat to program ourselves. Over time they change us and the way we think, and through that, the world around us. The subconscious responds strongly to gentle, figurative phrases that are repeated often, so affirmations act like positive programs installed and run there. Said again and again, they help to overcome obstacles and reach goals that once seemed impossible.
