We created this collection of hand-made candles based on the 22 cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck (Latin arcānus – mystery). These 22 cards can be interpreted as a person’s spiritual path from birth to perfection.
The candle marked with number 17 of the Major Arcana – The Star. This archetype of hope’s joy fills every person’s heart with optimism, positivity and the feeling of the new period of life. Every difficult stage of life becomes easier with the promise of a better period which is necessary for every person’s spiritual growth and formation, as well as for creation of future projections. The Star is not only a symbol of our belief in future, the ability to think positively and shape the model of out future, but it also serves as an inspiration source from which we can constantly draw new ideas and creativity. When looking at the guiding star, we can always ask ourselves the following questions: “Do I believe in better future? How do I view it? What would I like it to be?”
Included with this candle you will find one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, which, in combination with The Star, may suggest how and at what level the archetype of The Star manifests itself in your life. Suggested affirmations and the magical hibiscus, water lily, lilac, lily of the valley, lavender, sandalwood fragrance may help you to believe in future and to think positively.
The magic fragrance of this candle is based on old customs, traditions and the belief that every plant or aroma has its own magical purpose. It is like a witch recipe, where each plant and its aroma have a very important aromatherapy and magic function. The main notes supplement each other with aromatherapy properties and create a high-end fragrance pyramid where each scent has its place in harmony with other aromas.
Hibiscus: The aroma of hibiscus has been used in magic rituals mostly for love spells and for creating recipes that awaken desire. However, not everyone knows that hibiscus can also help reveal the gift of clairvoyance and premonitory dreams, as well as open paths towards knowing one’s inner-self. The fragrance of hibiscus stimulates the processes of the subconscious.
Water lily: the Latin name of the water lilies family, Nymphaeaceae is derived from the name of the Greek nymphs living in lakes, rivers and streams, therefore water lilies contain a lot of water and moon energy. Water lilies symbolize tranquility, purity, spiritual glow and modesty. Their aroma helps to fight earthly lusts and soothes the soul. During magic rituals the aroma of water lilies enhances imagination and the ability to visualize your goals.
Lilac: the cleansing aroma of lilac has been used in magic rituals for removing spells and illusions, for revealing the truth. The fragrance of lilac boosts the mood, promotes the ideas of common good and partnership and lifts the mood and personality to a higher spiritual level.
Lily of the valley: in ritual magic, lily of the valley was used for inducing consciousness, calmness, positivity, as well as for driving away depressive thoughts and attracting luck. Although lily of the valley is an extremely poisonous and potentially even deadly plant, since ancient times it was believed to have been favored by fairies and elves and symbolized innocence and spiritual purity, spiritual renewal and rebirth.
Lavender: lavender aroma has a calming and soothing effect, helps to relax muscle spasms and relieve aches. The energy of the essential oil helps to know and understand oneself, restores strength and is suitable for meditations. It ensures thorough energetic relaxation, also reduces aggression, helps to avoid envy and jealousy.
Sandalwood: its aroma harmonizes and calms, helps to reduce stress and turmoil, is a perfect mood booster for people suffering from depression, fears, and everyday problems, helps in cases of nervous breakdown or anxiety. Eastern cultures believe that this aroma is particularly attractive to various deities, thus sandalwood incense is often used during meditation, sandalwood is used to build temples and sculptures of gods and prophets.

A detailed description of the candle’s purpose; a description of the magical aroma’s meanings; a card from the Tarot card deck of our design. Its meaning will indicate the current quality of the archetype of The Star; a simple meditation/affirmation ritual for revealing the power of the aromatic candle that may help you to believe in future and to think positively. Affirmations (Latin affirmatio – to declare, declaration) – positive statements which we repeat to program ourselves, to consistently change ourselves and our thinking, thus consequently transforming the surrounding environment. Our subconscious is very susceptible to often repeated delicate and figurative phrases, therefore, affirmations are like positive programs which we install and run in our subconscious. Repeatedly uttered affirmations help to overcome obstacles and achieve goals that seemed impossible.
