For years I had casted about on how to bring candles to
the lines of Natural Magick Shop, using my magick oils. I wanted it to be
natural, hand made, and ecologically sound. No paraffin wax, which is a
non-renewable petroleum product. As I investigated ALL soy was is genetically modified! All of the non-GMO soy goes to organic and natural food products,
none left over for non-human consumption, much less candle wax. (And, ewwg,
most GMO soy going to feed beef.) Palm wax was another contender. A few (and by
a few I mean a sum of two suppliers I could find out of a global industry)
operations are doing sustainable production of palm oil and palm wax, but the
huge lot of palm product is a rainforest devastation industry.
My investigations and process of elimination led me
back to beeswax as the industry to support. The beeswax sheets are thrifty of
the resource, since they incorporate a lot of air into the candle. They come in
a great variety of color, which makes adding color to the magick easy. As I
roll 'em up, each one gets dosed with a mil of NMS essential oil blend, and for
sure, finished off with glitter which totally magnifies the magick! Oh, and
'cause they don't weigh out so much, no extra shipping charges, even for international
customers.
There will be a whole Natural Magick Shop candles section soon, but for now I have the Samhain/Halloween candles stuck in with Miscellaneous Mojo. If you wanted to order other varieties, Astral Travel, Banishing, Divination, Dragon's Blood, Fresh Start, Good Job, Happiness, Healing, High John the Conqueror, Love, Lucky, Mental Power, Money, Passion, Peace, Prosperity, Protection, Purification, Success, or Van Van, you can use the Special Order link at the bottom of the site. They are all $13 for a pack of three.
Natural Magick Shop candles are ritually crafted of
beeswax sheets, for a renewable-resource nature-friendly burn. They are infused
with 100% natural essential oils and absolutes appropriate to the intention.
All candles are made on the correct day of the week
for Planetary influences and phase of the Moon for Lunar powers. Feel free to burn
just one and save the rest, or burn one each night for a three day spell, or burn
all of them all at once or one after another for a prolonged working, or share
with friends according to your Will.
These magick candles come three to a package, are
four inches tall, and fit most standard taper holders for 3/4 - 7/8 diameter
taper or household candles. But they do tend to drip (unless you fridge or
freeze them, which I don't usually have the time for) so I like to burn them
and all my candles on the dishes I use for candle magick, little sushi dishes
work great. I also have a large black granite tile, and a beveled mirror for
candle magick, where I can let these or any candles drip and puddle as they will. The glitter does very cool magickal stuff in the molten wax, it tumbles and sparkles, very transfixing/trance-inducible!
