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."
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.
