What are 'Special' candles?
Whether you call them 'Special', 'Blessed', 'Herbal Magic', 'Reiki' charged or infused, or something else, doesn't matter.
These candles are carefully hand crafted with the optimum combination of oils, essences, and/or herbs to help you meet your goals. Whether you want
to find your soulmate or a better job, attract positive energy and emotions (or repel negative ones), become more open
and attuned to others, find the strength and self-confidence to say 'NO' or to take on a new challenge,
explore your inner self... the right combination
of essential oils and practices can create the personal environment you need to succeed.
The power of the universe is
infinite; the power of Mother Nature is immense. Using your own discipline and powers of symbolism, self-visualization, and concentration in combination
with the energies and powers infused in these 'Special' candles will help you achieve the results you seek -- maybe not immediately or maybe much sooner than you thought possible.
To get the most from a 'Special' candle, you should be in the right frame of mind, thinking of the condition you wish
to address as you "handle" the candle before lighting it.
Allow yourself to become familiar with the candle, hold it, maybe very lightly rub virgin olive oil on it as you concentrate on
the situation you want to address. This will help bind the candle to you and your needs, and inbue the candle with your
personal energy. To attract, burn the candle only during the waxing of the moon. To repel, burn the candle only during
the waning of the moon. During the new moon, reassess the issue and reaffirm your commitment to solve it. You may want to burn a clarity or power candle for these few days, as you reassess and reaffirm.
As your 'special' candle is burning,
relax and think about your issue; envision the solution coming closer to you (or disappearing from your life, if you're trying to
repel); as the candle burns down, your answer is coming (or your problem is leaving). Or, you can just burn the candle and go about your business and only enjoy its aromatherapy benefits.
If that's the case, I suggest buying one of my aromatherapy candles instead of one of my 'Special' candles, though.
Burn the candle at least 1/2 hour for each inch diameter to get a good "melt pool" and prevent tunneling (this is true of all
candles, by the way). If it's a votive, be sure to burn it in a proper votive holder, again to get a good "melt pool" and prolong burn time.
If a floater, only burn it in an open top dish of water. Place pillars on a saucer or other heat resistant surface. Trim the
wick to about 1/4 inch before lighting it each time ("outie" curved nail clippers work great for this). Be sure you don't
leave the burning candle unattended.
Our basic 'Special' candle is Health, Wealth, & Happiness -- blended with my special combination of oils historically
symbolizing and emphasizing these attributes.
I prefer to make 'Special' candles as special orders, instead of creating
generic Love, Business, Safe Travel, Inner Peace, Positive Thinking, Health... you get the idea. To have a connection with an individual
recipient for each special order gives me a more refined ability to personalize and power the candle as I am creating it. Use the

Custom candles are available as 100% pure soy container "jelly jar" type (appx 6-7 oz), or pillar sizes shown in image above. Except for the floater and votive, heights are adjustable downward, within reason.
Pillars are made with 100% soy wax with added botanical oils needed to provided strength (Eco-Soya brand), or 100% palm wax, or a soy/palm proprietary blend. All are made with 100% vegetable waxes and oils, no petroleum, no paraffin. We use only EOs, no fragrance oils. We use cotton wicks. Candle color can be added if the EO color alone isn't enough. The cost of a custom candle
will depend on the size and type of candle and the EOs needed to best match your needs.
