Good morning everyone! For those of you in college, it's very likely that you're just finishing up your finals this week, and if that's the case, I've got some great candle choices for helping you through the end-of-the-semester stresses. 

• Sweetgrass World Magic Candle: During this week, I find it's hard for students to stay positive while studying for their exams. Burn the Sweetgrass candle to promote those good feelings that you really do need during this stressful time.
  
  "Sweetgrass has been used for centuries by the Native American people to cleanse away the worries, stress and energies that keep us apart from the sweetness of life. It is burnt to bring forth the wisdom of all peoples of Turtle Island (the Americas). Placing this candle on your altar will inspire you to see the beauty that is present in your life. This awakened appreciation will illuminate new paths and answers that had been locked away. When you light this candle, sit in a quiet place and whisper all of your fears, anger, stress and inner ugliness toward the candle.The flame will remove these blocks, lighting the path to what is sweet and beautiful. Sit with this new energy, allowing it to seep into your very core. Extinguish the candle when you are done."
  
  
• Ganesha World Magic Candle: I light the Ganesha candle whenever I hit those creative road blocks while writing papers or doing projects. Ganesha is here to help remove the obstacles that are keeping you from finishing these endeavors.
  
  "To appeal to Ganesha, light this candle and recite this prayer:
  
  Om sri Ganesha Namaha- Great Lord of Wisdom, Here I stand with so many decisions to make, with so many ways to turn. I beg your Grace. Please fill me with righteous judgment and clear discrimination as I lay all confusion at your feet and immerse myself solely in your being. Om Ganesha Saranam.
  
  Then close your eyes and bring this image into your mind. Speak directly to Ganesha and lay all your problems and questions at his feet. He will not answer you directly but will move through your life in mysterious ways, opening doors and influencing situations on your behalf. Ganesha, the remover of obstacles. Give thanks and eat chocolate."
  
  
• Energy & Will Blessed Herbal Candle: Light this candle with the Problem Solving Blessed Herbal Candle before those tough morning classes to give you that energy boost that coffee just hasn't been giving you lately. 
  
  "I call on forces higher than I, to awaken the vitality that I hold inside. To strengthen my will and bring energy to me, motion is what I need to be. Passion & Fire to spur me on, send me these energies from beyond. I call on thee in perfect trust & love, sending me guidance from above."
  
  
• Stability Blessed Herbal Candle: Light this candle during your downtime for a little bit of grounding; relax. 
  
  "I call on forces greater than I, to awaken the confidence that I hold inside. Ground in me your great strength, help me be stable and my soul to wake. Lift my spirits & help me be strong, so that I may learn your healing song. In perfect balance do all things live, instill this in me, so like you I can give."
  

, prayer, psychoanalysis, therapy, affirmations, yoga and energy work are all powerful beginnings to the process of magic, but they're only the beginning.  Chapter 1, Page 3.

Loads of people know about Santa Muerte, but not many know what she actually stands for. Most people hear that Santa Muerte is the Saint of death and are immediately turned off. Then they ask questions like, "Well then why do you have her on your altar?" or "So you can try to kill people with her?". I hope to show those people that it's not what they think. Santa Muerte is the Saint of death, yes, but she also represents so much more than that, which is why we have her on our store altar. She stands for healing, protection, and safety when travelling into the afterlife. Santa Muerte also gives you assistance, and grants your prayers, when given something in return, such as alcohol, candy, coins, etc.. So all in all, If used the right way, she's a pretty good Saint. She does a really great job protecting our store, so next time you come in, remember that she's not as scary as she sounds.

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.

Here at the Candle Wick Shoppe, we have our lovely ready made mini Mojo bags ready to grab and go. However, what if we don't carry a bag that suits your needs? Maybe you just want to create your own version of what we have. Well friend, you're in luck. I'm going to tell you what to do to create your own Mojo bag.

All a Mojo bag really is is a bag of herbs, oils, and stones that are mixed together and empowered with the intention and energy of the maker for a specific use. You want to use a fabric in the color of your intention, along with herbs, oils and stones with the same intention. As you mix the herbs, oils, and stones together, you want to envision your intent and imagine your energy is flowing from your hands into the mixture. Feel free to light candles, invoke spirits/gods/ancestors/protectors as you are creating your own little magical pouch. This is your ritual, so please customize it to suit your needs and personal beliefs.

If you have been following my blogs, then you already know what I am going to say. That's right kiddies. These little gems are able to be customized to you. I always recommend doing your research on the herbs, oils, and stones you intend on using. We here at the Candle Wick Shoppe have an amazing selection to choose from, but you may be surprised at what you can find in your own back yard. 

Each one of us is unique, and we have our own requirements for health and healing.  

So just a quick break from the spiritual realm to tell all of you lovelies about the new smell goods we have here in the shoppe. I am totally obsessed with this line from Votivo. Instead of having the normal description of scent as the name of the candle, they have used colors as a title for these candles. Just from the look and feel of these candles, I can tell they are a soy blend. All of the scents are intoxicating, complex and wonderful. I Have finally narrowed my favorites down to three of the eight different colors/ scents.

Right now we carry the large candle poured lovingly in a white glass held in a beautiful decorative trapezoidal case. Here is a quick close up for you guys.

You may want to hurry in and pick out your favorite from this new line before they are all gone. Judging from the gorgeous smell of these, they will be gone very soon.
