Anti-Depression Self Love Candle Recipe🌱🌷💓✨🍃🌙💐

ok luvlies here is my Anti-Depression Self Love Candle recipe for all my fellow mentally ill witches on my blog💗

Things you need (all precharged and cleansed where needed)

a white or pink (love) candlestick

blue dripping wax (health and healing)

black dripping wax (protection)

dried eucalyptus leaves (healing)

dried rose petals (self love)

4 cloves (healing and naturally painkilling)

salt (protection and purifying)

coffee grounds (magic amplifying)

rose eo (self love)

eucalyptus eo (healing)

left over herbs and two sprigs of fresh eucalyptus

a small basin to hold the candle

(i know this seems like a lot of ingredients but u can tailor this to what you have and need)

Steps

throw the dried eucalyptus leaves, rose petals, cloves, salt, and coffee in a motar and powder them as fine as you can with a pestle. focus on the intention behind each ingredient as you do this, what will these herbs help you with? (i guess you can also food process these? but since i don’t have a food processor i did this by hand and this step took me a little while lol)

leave your powdered herb mix to the side, if you want to draw sigils on your candlestick, now is the time to do so. i used my ‘i am loving’ sigil on mine.

now annoint your precleansed candle with the eucalyptus and rose essential oils. i used 2 drops of eucalyptus and 4 of rose because the eucalyptus is such a strong scent i didn’t want the rose to be overpowered. you want the candle super oily so your herbs will stick to it’s sides.

over some parchment or newspaper, begin pressing your powders onto your anointed candle. if some falls off that’s ok, you can sprinkle it over the candle when the candles almost finished and your not handling it so much.

melt the wax on the base of your candle using a lighter or match and, working quickly, press the candle to your basin to secure it. doing this now instead of as the last step makes it so much easier to drip the wax over your candles without rubbing off the herbs.

now it’s time to drip the wax over your candle, just do this until you feel satisfied that you can see the colour and it looks cute.

after you’ve finished step 6 the candle itself is finished! just fill the basin with leftover herbs and herb powder. i threw some salt and rose buds on top of mine too.

stick the eucalyptus sprigs in the herb bath and you’re completely done!

to finish i just lit mine and left it near my windowsill to charge under the sunlight with two rose quartz and a tree agate.

i hope you guys are feeling better soon and if you like these posts lmk and i’ll make more!

What in the stars is a birth chart?

If you’ve been on social media the past few years, then you know the topic of birth charts has sky-rocketed in popularity. I’m sure you’ve been asked once or twice what your birth chart is, but what on Earth does it mean? Your birth chart, also known as a natal chart, is a guide on your personality, strengths and weaknesses, opportunities for growth, and the best timing for important moves. 

Your birth chart consists of 12 different signs and houses. Your birth chart is based on the date, time and location of your birth. It tells where the planets alignments were when you were born. These all play a part in who you are. Your basic zodiac sign is your Sun sign, this is purely based off what day you were born. When someone asks your zodiac sign you most likely default to this one. You have 11 other zodiac signs that give insight on you as a person. 

Each one of these 12 signs in your birth chart have their own meanings. They are:

Sun: Yourself, your main personality traits

Moon: Your heart

Rising: How you look and appear to others

Mercury: The way you think 

Venus: How you love 

Mars: How you deal with life and problems

Jupiter: You luck

Saturn: The way you discipline yourself and your responsibilities 

Uranus: How unique you are

Neptune: Your imagination

Pluto: Your transformation in life

Chiron: How you feel 

North Node: The way you develop in your current life 

As I stated before, knowing your date, time and location of your birth is very important, this allows for your birth chart to be more accurate and allowing you to see more about you. 

I will further discuss the 12 houses in another post. These also play a big part in your chart. Most people can discover basic information just from the 12 signs, but looking into the houses will give a bit more insight. 

These are many websites you can use to find out your birth chart, I find the most accurate site is here. If you are unsure of your birth time, you can check your birth certificate or you can contact your state's Bureau of Vital Statistics. You may also use 12 noon as the time, but you may not receive the most accurate results.

Lots of new stuff is being added to my shop, i’ve got a bit of free time in between jobs, so i’m using it wisely!

Shares are very much appreciated! As always remember to shop small!!
