Candle Recipe: Total Reset
This is a spell candle I've recently made. By made, I mean I purchased it and dressed and charged the candle for a specific use, not that I poured the candle myself! If you would like to make one of your own or simply learn how I made it, read on.
This is a candle I've titled Total Reset. A complete soft reset of your mind, particularly after a long and stressful period of your life. I made the candle when my college finals ended and am using it today to prepare for all that comes next. I will not be including instructions on any rituals to be conducted with this candle, only how to create the candle itself.
Candle type Something wide, like a tealight or votive. I use oversized tealights. Blue; light blue on bottom and dark blue on top. Or just dark blue. dark blue - for bringing harmony and peace/ease, as well as to open the eyes to what's next and promote healing from stressors past light blue - for enhancing focus and inspiration
Materials sunflower petals - to bring in joy and good fortune, as well as to open the eyes to what's next rain lily petals - to bring peace and ease the mind, and to encourage mental strength citrine crystal (used in conjunction with candle or use small pieces in the candle) - to open new opportunities, promote optimism, and bring in emotional balance lavender essential oil - to relieve stress optional orange essential oil - to uplift and invigorate white or light blue wax - white wax to signal a new beginning, that the stress of the past is gone and now is a time to heal
Dressing instructions 1) If you have a heat gun, melt the top of the candle. If not, carry onto step two 2) dress top of candle with herbs and optional citrine chunks. 3) Light the light blue wax if the base candle has no light blue in it. Drip wax on top of the herbs on the candle. If you don't have a heat gun to seal the herbs into the candle, this is how you're going to seal them in. For dripping wax, I used a chime candle and lit it, holding it at a downward angle over the base candle. 4) Light the white wax and repeat step four. 5) dress the top of the candle with your essential oil, being careful not to use too much. 6) cleanse or otherwise consecrate the candle before use. I placed a chunk of selenite on top of the candle and let it sit on my windowsill for many weeks. I've heard that any energy obtained from the moonlight will be cleared away when the sun rises, but as I charged it after cleansing by meditating with my intention, this doesn't seem like an issue to me.
