Scented Candle THE DEVIL

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 15 of the Major Arcana – The Devil. It is the archetype that constrains a person with chains of earthly desires and passions. The archetype of The Devil lets you know that the material and earthly planes are becoming too dominant in your life, that you are starting to succumb to comfortable stagnation and stop striving for change, progress and growth of your personality. However, by constraining a human with chains of dependence The Devil always leaves a choice of whether to remain chained or to choose freedom and the possibility to grow spiritually by refusing only the eternal struggle for success, daily satisfaction or bodily pleasures. The Devil only tempts to accept the rules of his game, but the human is always free to choose his path. It is the archetype of pessimism, depression and cynicism, it beckons to stop believing in the world’s goodness and ideals.

Included with this candle you will find one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, which, in combination with The Devil, may suggest how and at what level the archetype of The Devil manifests itself in your life. Suggested affirmations and the magical orange blossom, jasmin, orange, cinnamon, eucalyptus, liquorice, white musk fragrance may help you not to accept the rules of Devil’s game and help you to be free to choose your path.

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.

Liquorice: in pharaoh tombs among other riches scientists discovered remnants of liquorice root. This plant was particularly valued and appreciated. Since ancient times liquorice has also been included in incense for its aroma that positively affects youth, sexuality, charm, and physical health.
White musk: musk is a classical aromatic substance of animal origin, used in perfume-making and extracted from male glands of certain animals (most often musk deers). Since in nature animals use musk as a pheromone to attract the attention of the opposite sex, this aromatic substance has a similar effect on humans as well. White musk is a synthetic substance used in perfumery as an alternative to the red musk of animal origin in order to preserve nature and animal population. The aroma of white musk brings in vitality and energy. It is believed to be a potent aphrodisiac that stimulates senses, arouses and opens the most secret desires and the depths of soul.
Orange blossoms: orange blossom aroma possesses soothing ant antiseptic qualities, acts as an aphrodisiac, helps fight depression and anxiety, and boosts mood. It can be used before any stressful occasion – an interview, examination, public appearance, etc. In cases of insomnia, take a bath with several drops of neroli or diffuse some of it in the evening. In Italy orange blossoms were traditionally used for making bridal crowns.
Jasmine: in India jasmine used to be called “Moonshine in the garden”. Young girls adorned their hair with jasmine blossoms and used them for cosmetic purposes. Cleopatra is said to have had seduced Marc Antony by using jasmine oil during their official meetings in order to arouse his desires.
Orange: its essential oil helps to open the heart, frees from sadness, nervousness and anxiety. It has a relaxing effect on some people, while in others it works as an energizer and wards off melancholy. Orange essential oil boosts optimism, natural charm and self-confidence, restores aura after serious illness or emotional stress. In magic orange is particularly related to the ability to attract love.
Cinnamon: cinnamon creates an inspiring and creative mood, expands, warms, positively affects aura, boosts optimism, integrity of personality, confidence in one’s strength and self-esteem. The fragrance of cinnamon is a great measure for reducing self-pitying and clinging to unlucky past. It lights and brightens personality. In magic rituals cinnamon is used in order to attract love, desire and money.
Eucalyptus: traditional essential oil in medicine cabinets, and extremely popular in aromatherapy. Most often it is used for inhalations, chest rub balsams, massage ointments for treating head cold, influenza, and viral diseases, such as mononucleosis. Eucalyptus essential oil is a wonderful preventative measure and is extremely suitable for cleansing and freshening air in rooms.

    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.

It also helps to avoid self-projected destructive irritation, gain the deserved authority, and develops such qualities as nobleness, grace, etc.

    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.

    Saffron: an excellent tonic for both mind and body, may be used for reducing pain, treating infections, and stimulating heart rate. In Ireland saffron is still used on baby cots, so that the newborn would grow healthy and strong. In Italy saffron is thrown on the bride and the groom, as it is considered an aphrodisiac that boosts fertility. Arabs, Berbers and the Persians give saffron as a wedding gift for ensuring fertility. The Romans valued the aroma of saffron and considered it to be “gently soothing”, often compared by poets with the soft colors of sunrise or sunset.
    White pepper: their aroma helps to reduce pain, activates blood circulation, has a warming quality and a positive effect on aching muscles and joints, stimulates and energizes in cases of weariness, fatigue, and emotional frigidity, stimulates appetite, relaxes, helps to reduce fever and positively affects digestion. Aromas of peppers, just like all tangy spices, cleanse the energy field, helps to get rid of negative energy and protect against harmful surrounding effects.

    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.

The smell of frankincense calms and soothes, it is used during meditations even today.
    Labdanum:  it is used for magical or spiritual practices involving protection, money, and respect. Labdanum has long been valued for its musky, sensual scent. In ancient times, labdanum was collected by combing the beards and thighs of goats and sheep that grazed in labdanum bushes, and many of the false beards worn by the Egyptian pharaohs in ancient times were made precisely from the hair of goats that smelled of the magical and royal aroma of labdanum.

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.
