This hand-made soy wax candle belongs to a collection built around the 22 cards of the Major Arcana in the Tarot deck (from the Latin arcānus, mystery). Read in order, the 22 cards can be seen as a person's spiritual path from birth to perfection.
The candle carries number 19, The Sun. This card is the archetype of pure joy, success and glory, and of being able to enjoy life's pleasures and the wishes that have come true. Celebrating what you have achieved matters as much as working towards your goals. When you allow yourself to value your wins, it becomes easier to start something new or carry on with tasks, activities and relationships. A constant feeling of dissatisfaction, and dwelling on unfinished work when the results are already good, closes the door to success.
Each candle comes with one of the 22 Major Arcana cards. Read together with The Sun, it may hint at how and to what degree this archetype shows up in your life. The suggested affirmations and the scent of helichrysum, cinnamon, mango, oriental spices, grapefruit, vanilla and geranium may help you value life's pleasures and the wishes you have fulfilled.
The fragrance follows old customs and traditions, and the belief that every plant and aroma has its own magical purpose. Think of it as a witch's recipe: each plant has an aromatherapy role and a magical one. The main notes support each other and are built into a high-end fragrance pyramid where every scent has its place.
Cinnamon: sets a warm mood of self-confidence. It is said to inspire creativity, warm and expand, act well on the aura, and boost optimism, wholeness of personality, belief in one's own strength and self-esteem. Its scent helps against self-pity and holding on to an unlucky past, and lets the personality shine.
Helichrysum: burned for fumigation in many rituals and in traditional African medicine, and used to purify the air in homes. Its aroma is said to ease neurological problems and pain, and helichrysum tea is used against coughs and colds. The Greeks called it "gold of the Sun", believing the plant stores the Sun's energy. It is associated with confidence, letting go of old grievances and misfortunes, and taking a firmer hold on life.
Mango: one of the oldest plants grown by people, used in full, from the wood to the mango butter that softens skin. Its leaves decorate temples and its fruit is offered to the gods. Southern peoples used the fragrant fruit and wood in love magic, to reveal a person's talents and abilities, and for protection from negative energy.
Oriental spices: a blend of herbs and spices with notes of pepper, coriander, fennel, anise and saffron. Like the tones of a chord, the scents gain new magical and aromatherapy qualities when mixed, while keeping their own character. The blend is said to strengthen energy fields, bring harmony and calm.
Grapefruit: its energy is linked to optimism, natural charm and self-confidence, and to restoring the aura after serious illness or emotional stress. Grapefruit essential oil is recommended when you need spiritual warmth. In magic, grapefruit is tied especially to attracting love.
Vanilla: believed to bring a feeling of safety on a subconscious level and to relieve anxiety and fear. It soothes and helps to lower anger and other negative emotions. If you want an honest talk with someone, or want a person to open up and trust you, scenting the room with vanilla can help.
Geranium: helps reduce stress and bring back pleasant memories. It balances and calms the emotions, and returns inner peace and hope. It eases the fear of loving, committing and being left, helps you become more loving, opens the heart, softens painful memories of the past and evens out mood swings.
With this soy wax candle you get:
a detailed description of the candle's purpose; an explanation of what each magical aroma means; a card from a Tarot deck of the maker's own design, whose meaning points to the current quality of The Sun archetype in your life; a simple meditation and affirmation ritual for opening up the power of the candle, which may help you value life's pleasures and the wishes that have come true.
Affirmations (Latin affirmatio, to declare, a declaration) are positive statements we repeat to programme ourselves, so that we gradually change ourselves and our thinking, and through that the world around us. The subconscious responds strongly to gentle, figurative phrases repeated often, so affirmations work like positive programmes installed and run there. Said again and again, they help to overcome obstacles and reach goals that once seemed impossible.
