Keeping safe on a magical level is much like keeping safe in the physical world. There are many techniques of protection magic and psychic self-defense that can be made a part of your regular spiritual practice. Regular techniques include meditations to clear and strengthen your aura which is your first shield of defense from unwanted energies. Protection magic, guarding your home, psychic shielding and strengthening our aura is very important because we unconsciously “pick up” energy from other people on a daily basis. Other peoples moods or emotions may affect us in a way where we are left feeling exhausted, depleted, angry, frustrated, or depressed. Sometimes people will also deliberately send negative energy to us. Such negative energies cannot harm us, as long as we don’t let them in. With protection magic and psychic shielding, we set the boundaries which keep out unwanted energy from others, but simultaneously strengthen our own aura, or energy, keeping it healthy. We recommend using daily meditations and shielding techniques that you feel comfortable with in addition to using protective botanicals and witchery.

All of the protective metaphysical properties of plant botanicals, ancient resins, crystal gemstones, and the fierce nature of the Dark Moon and fiery Mars planetary energy are gorgeously fused into this luscious upscale formula to assist and reinforce your intention to protect and shield against psychic attacks, energy vampires, the evil eye, low vibrational negative energy, harmful forces, toxic relationships, and guard against all forms of evil. The planet Mars is considered "the God of War" in astrology and its energy is believed to neutralize, bind and banish any harmful energy directed to you. Mars is pure brute force and can be called upon during rituals for power of the warrior's protection. The energy of Mars may be invoked in spiritual workings dealing with protection, battles, attack or defense, deflecting harmful or negative energy, increasing or preserving physical strength, confidence and courage. It can also be invoked to break curses, hexes, and to counter or protect against any dark magic. Each WITCHES' GUARDIAN artisan soy candle is Witchcrafted in sacred space on a Tuesday during the planetary hour of Mars and blessed during a Dark Moon Ritual.

Each WITCHES' GUARDIAN Artisan Ritual Soy Candle is topped with certified organic botanicals, black obsidian and tiger's eye crystal gemstones for maximum power and potency. Black obsidian is a natural volcanic glass that is made of quartz. The stone is created when hot lava is forced directly into the air and quickly solidifies before hitting the ground. Black obsidian is a very strong protective stone and is used as a great cleanser of negative energies, helping to remove not only negativity experienced in the environment, but also that of one's own emotions, such as anger, jealousy, greed, resentment, etc. Black obsidian is believed to guard against all types of negative energies, including psychic attacks, energy vampires, harmful spirits, and the evil eye. Tiger's Eye is the most ancient talisman thought to grant the wearer protection against bad luck, curses or ill-wishing. Linked to the magical tiger, the king of beasts in Eastern mythology, Tiger’s Eye portrays courage, self confidence, integrity, strength of will and right use of power.

USING YOUR SOY CANDLE:

• Your initial burn is very important. When you first light your soy candle, let it burn until it has achieved a full melt pool. A melt pool is liquefied wax that has reached the edges of the container. This will establish the memory burn and will help keep the scent in your candle strong and it will prevent the wax from tunneling. Each time you burn your candle in the future, it is always best to allow your candle reach a full melt pool for optimal results. We recommend burning your candle for a minimum of 2 hrs at a time to ensure the best quality burn and fragrance throw. Always trim the wick to ¼ inch each time before burning. A wick length over 1/4 inch will produce soot and long wicks can cause uneven burning, dripping or flaring. Burn times will vary. 
  

You will receive one artisan ritual soy candle per order that comes beautifully packaged and adorned with a handmade olde world wax seal on top of the bewitching black lid. Perfect for treating yourself or for gift giving to family, friends or loved ones.
