"Demeter" Candle Story

Demeter

Written below is the channeled Candle Story behind this Curation

Demeter:

This Cookie Jar Vessel was gifted to me by my beloved Husband, Chad. He found it at an ice cream shop and thought it would be a fun piece for me to craft into a candle. I was surprised by the design. This Cheetah print purse, was the last thing I would think Chad would find to be cool. However, I realized, it was not about how he felt, but how he knew I would feel about it. He was right. I adored the vessel and the design of her. I couldn’t wait to turn her into a candle. This is the second filling and first resurrection of this Cookie Jar. The first time I filled her, I connected her to a sense of love and passion. Creating her intention around the love I had for my husband. This second time around, I connected deeper into her true essence and purpose for manifesting in my life.

My grandmother, a 1950’s Beautician and Radiant Leo Sun, had quite the sense of style. She loved handbags and uniquely designed purses. In fact, it was her who always ensured I knew the important of a quality designer handbag. Not being able to afford many for herself, she taught me the ways of the sales and thrift stores. I will note that by the time she was in her late 50’s and 60’s my grandmother and aunt ensured she had her very own Authentic Coach Purse. I believe she had two other designer bags, but I cannot recall their label. I simply remember the first authentic designer bag she was gift and how blissful she was to receive it. My grandparents both came from humble beginnings and worked diligently to live a luxurious life of their dreams. I would say they achieved their vision. Reflecting back on this vessel and Chad finding it for me, I realized this was my grandmother speaking through him. When Chad gave me this vessel, she had recently passed. To be honest, as the time, I didn’t realize this was her way of reaching out to me. I was so lost in Chad’s gesture, I missed a key element of the story. Key factors that came rushing through to me at the time of this resurrection.

As I felt into the presence of my grandmother, Sammie Louise, aka Weezy, I felt an overwhelming sense of pride. I knew she would be proud of me and all I have been doing to live a life of my dreams. I knew she was one of the only ones truly happy to see how loved I am by my husband. She had always fought for me to find a man of my dreams and she fought for Chad when we first got together. I had to craft this vessel in honor of her and all she represents. I filled her with a bright red wax to match the red gem on the vessel lid. I recalled a previous meditation where I felt a connection to my grandmother and the Goddess Demeter. A representation of acceptance within the transformative mythology between Hades, Persephone and Demeter. Understanding that Demeter may have been distraught at the start of events, but eventually came around in love and support for the evolution of her beloved Daughter’s life. And how at the end of it all, what matters the most is that her Daughter, Granddaughter and all her divine children are blissfully in love with their destined life.
