Scented Candle TEMPERANCE

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 14 of the Major Arcana – Temperance. This archetype holds the absolute balance, harmony and coherence of your personality. It indicates your ability to warm up coldness and cool down hotness, to round off sharp corners and make excessively smooth shapes a bit sharper. The archetype of Temperance symbolizes the ability to create a harmonious whole out of seemingly opposite things. Temperance also forces each of us to ask ourselves the following question: do I, as a personality, radiate only harmony, or do I spread destruction for which I tend to blame circumstances and other people?

Included with this candle you will find one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, which, in combination with Temperance, may suggest how and at what level the archetype of Temperance manifests itself in your life. Suggested affirmations and the magical green tea, lime, mint, lavender, eucalyptus, oriental spices fragrance may help you to create a harmonious whole out of seemingly opposite things.

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 aromatherapic and magic function. The main notes supplement each other with aromatherapic properties and create a high-end fragrance pyramid where each scent has its place in harmony with other aromas.

Green tea: it helps to freshen and cleanse air, purifies thoughts and boosts the mood, self-confidence, and the level of energy. The aroma of green tea also helps to make the necessary decisions and become more determined. The cleansing fragrance of green tea also helps to get rid of negative energy.
Oriental spices: the mixture of various herbs and spices contains aromas of pepper, coriander, fennel, anise, and saffron. Like different tones that make up a chord, these scents will acquire new magical and aromatherapy properties when mixed up, but at the same time they will retain their primal nature. The concoction strengthens energy fields, harmonizes and calms.
Eucalyptus: eucalyptus essential oil is a wonderful preventative measure and is extremely suitable for cleansing and freshening air in rooms. By cleansing the room’s air and filling it with freshness, eucalyptus also kills pathogenic microorganisms, boosts the immune system and wakes the body’s vital powers.
Lavender: lavender essential oil has a calming and soothing effect, removes aches and is one of the most effective anti-inflammatory oils. Lavenders also have a positive effect on blood circulation and boost immunity. 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.
Mint: mint has a positive effect on humans’ biological energy: it improves mutual understanding between people and removes neurological tension. The aroma of spearmint stimulates body and soul, and increases concentration. It is also a wonderful freshener and mood booster.
Lime: herbalists advised using lime juice to lower blood-pressure, to cleanse toxins from the liver and to ease joint aches. Lime scent helps to successfully adapt and dwell in new conditions, with new people, strengthens life goals, awakens creativity at work and in the family. It also helps to overcome difficult situations.

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.

    The magic fragrance recipe of this home perfume 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 aromatherapic and magic function. The main notes supplement each other with aromatherapic properties and create a high-end fragrance pyramid where each scent has its place in harmony with other aromas.

    Petitgrain (bitter orange): one of the most effective essential oils for fighting undesirable spiritual and psychological conditions. This essential oil is often attributed the qualities of mood booster, while at the same time it helps to relax. Petitgrain essential oil calms, revitalizes, helps to fight fatigue and stress. A bride’s bouquet, perfumed with this essential oil, will ensure the success of the future marriage.
    Coriander seeds: the word “coriander” comes from the Greek language, meaning “anise” + “bedbug”. The aroma of fresh coriander reminds of the smell of bedbugs, hence the name. However, unlike fresh leaves, coriander seeds have a very pleasant aroma, reminding of flowers and lemon. The fragrance of coriander seeds energizes, helps to get rid of fears, encourages to act, boost self-confidence and creativity.
    Juniper berries: since ancient times juniper has been used to protect from and ward off evil spirits. The energy of this scent helps to develop the personality’s consistence and perseverance, the ability to distinguish lies and fight them easily. It protects the aura form aggression, helps to quickly find a proper way from any difficult situation. It also helps to avoid self-projected destructive irritation, gain the deserved authority, and develops such qualities as nobleness, grace, etc.
    Agarwood: used in incense and perfume since ancient times, mentioned in numerous ancient written sources – Sanskrit Vedas, the Old Testament, and Islamic scriptures. Aquilaria trees are also called god-trees. Agarwood was considered to be so powerful that it could cleanse the soul and banish evil spirits. Traditional Chinese medicine views agarwood as a substance for releasing spasms and also as having warming, balancing, transforming and mind-clearing properties that help to achieve goals.
    Cedar: has a calming, strengthening, rejuvenating effect, gives a feeling of comfort and is therefore recommended when feeling unfounded fear, aggression, hysteria, anger, other anti-physiological behaviors as well as insomnia. Like all nuts, cedar nuts symbolize abundance and wealth. Cedar enhances leadership, confidence in oneself, one’s strengths and abilities.
    Frankincense: the plant was named after the French word “franc”, meaning “luxurious”. Frankincense has long been used for producing incense. Frankincense (Boswellia) incense was one of the presents of the Three Kings to baby Jesus. In Ancient Greece frankincense resin was burned on altars and in temples, because it slows down and deepens breathing, which helps to calm down and immerse in prayer and meditation. The smell of frankincense calms and soothes, it is used during meditations even today.
    Vetiver: nourishing and cooling vetiver oil relaxes the heated and overactive mind and encourages, strengthens and inspires every personality. For both those who are exhausted from excessive intellectual activity and those who have lost touch with the body, vetivers return a sense of healthy self and reduce the separation between matter and spirit. The aroma of vetiver helps to focus and concentrate extremely quickly. Vetiver oil is also considered a good remedy for unexpected outbursts of anger.

    The magic fragrance of this natural incense 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 aromatherapic and magic function.

    Nag champa: this authentic incense is produced from the blossoms of a holy tree. In India it is called “nagakesara”, “nag champa” or the tree of “cobra’s saffron”. In Ayurvedic medicine extracts from this plant’s blossoms, seeds, leaves and bark have been used since ancient times. Nagakesara or nag champa trees grow in many locations from southern Himalaya slopes to Sri Lanka and Andaman Islands. Mesua or the ironwood is an average-sized tree with exceptionally hard wood and fragrant blossoms. The most subtle incense is made from the blossoms of the nag champa tree, which symbolize sexuality, fertility, passion and love.
    Cedar: it’s fragrance has a soothing, invigorating and rejuvenating effect, gives a sense of comfort, therefore it is recommended for sufferers of irrational fears, aggression, hysteria, anger or other physiologically inconsistent phenomena, as well as insomnia. It symbolizes abundance and prosperity, and is often used in magical rituals for protection from negative effects.
    Myrrh: the Bible tells us a story of the Three Kings, who came to honor baby Jesus and brought him myrrh as one of the presents. Myrrh was valued equally to gold, and the Greeks still consider it sacred. For about one-and-a-half thousand years myrrh was one of the most valuable commodities in the world and thus Arab traders who sold incense were amongst the wealthiest people. Myrrh is the symbol of wealth, health and prosperity. The old civilizations used the resin of myrrh-trees as perfume and incense, as well as in medicine, where wound ointment made of myrrh was valued greatly. Myrrh essential oil has antiseptic qualities, stops inflammation and speeds up healing. The fragrance of myrrh helps to sort out thoughts, prevents from indulging into non-relevant details. This scent is particularly suitable for meditation, as it helps to ward off egocentric thoughts, restores the objectivity and adequacy of one’s psychological state, calms irritation, and improves sleep. It also increases sexual sensitivity.
    Ambergris: solid, flammable, waxy substance, produced in the digestive system of sperm whales and often called “floating gold”. Usually it is found floating in the water or washed on shore in tropical countries, and is highly valued by the perfume industry where it is used for producing expensive perfume. This waxy odorous substance is lighter than water and can float in the sea for years, where under the influence of salty water and sun it becomes hard. When kept in a hermetic container, ambergris gives off a strong scent of musk, which is highly valued by perfumers all around the world and which has been used as an aphrodisiac since ancient times. It is one of the most-highly prized ingredients of perfume. The smell of ambergris is characterized by unique invigorating evening musk aroma with oriental notes. Ambergris has been long considered a symbol of luxury.
    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.
