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 7 of the Major Arcana – The Chariot. It is the archetype of strong will and control. The path chosen is undeniably successful, the right decisions are made and the right direction is taken, but in order to achieve victory it is necessary to hold the reins firmly. Hold on to your path and don’t give in to emotions, act and reach for your goals – you will succeed! The Chariot does not carry you on a journey around the globe in search for yourself, it simple takes you from A to B. You know the destination, therefore don’t look around.
Included with this candle you will find one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, which, together with The Chariot, may suggest how and at what level the archetype of The Chariot manifests itself in your life. Suggested affirmations and the magical helichrysum, mimosa, orchid, coriander seeds, pine, oriental spices, myrrh, ambergris fragrance may help to hold on to your path and don’t give in to emotions, act and reach for your goals.
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.
Ambergris: ancient Greeks used to call ambergris “pulsating sun”. Ambergris is highly valued by the perfume industry where it is used for producing expensive 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.
Myrrh: the symbol of wealth, health and prosperity. 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.
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.
Orchid: its aroma boosts mood, induces the feelings of comfort and security, acts as a light aphrodisiac. The fragrance of orchids helps to emphasize the individuality of the personality and its original traits, boosts self-confidence.
Mimosa: sensitive and shy mimosas have been used in magic rituals to induce psychic dreams. Their magical aroma helps to dive into the depths of the soul, to hear your inner voice and receive information from the spiritual world. The fragrance of mimosas is believed to help us feel and understand messages from the gods.
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.
Pine: the aroma of pine boosts self confidence and the ability to make right decisions. The Justice Tarot card is governed by the element of air, therefore fresh and though-inducing aroma of pine that represent the element of air was chosen as the main aroma note of this candle.
Helichrysum: helichrysum is often used for fumigation in various rituals and traditional African medicine, also for purifying and cleansing air inside homes. The Greeks used to call the helichrysum “gold of Sun”, because this plant accumulates the Sun’s energy, boost confidence, helps to abandon past grievances and misfortunes and hold the reins of life tighter.
