Scented Candle THE EMPRESS

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.

This candle is marked with number 3 of the Major Arcana – The Empress. This archetype comprises the four main roles of a woman: Mother, Wife, Lover, and Handmaid. The Empress symbolizes authority, fertility, motherhood, sexuality, beauty, plenty, and wealth, however, at the same time The Empress encompasses excessive control, demonstration of power, overly eager desire to take care of the surroundings, as well as waning or dwindled feminine energy.

Included with this candle you will find one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, which, together with The Empress, may suggest how and at what level the archetype of The Empress manifests itself in your life. Suggested affirmations and the magical aroma of neroli, roses, ambergris, grapefruits and vanilla will help to harmonize the feminine energy and restore the necessary balance.

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.
