Meadow:
As I channeled the details of this beautiful candle on a live the other day, the flow of the Candle Story evolved into a divine connection and insight deeper than I originally consciously believed. Meadow has followed me on this social platform, for what I believe, to be since the very beginning of my candle business journey. I can recall seeing her username and lovely profile icon since I swallowed my pride and joined the Tik Tok community. I truly dreaded starting that platform, for a multitude of reasonings. All of which have been proven to be true, but equally proven to be false. The ultimate lesson of which, anything you engage in, is exactly what you think and make it to be. Meadow is one of the reasonings as to why I have stayed and continued to feel into the support of my path.

Meadow, I believe, has liked every single video I have uploaded. Or she is very very close. I do not know without a doubt, but I sense she has liked the first candle creations, which were simple soy candles in basic jars. I tried to make the candles as lovely as I could, while following the most basic of candle models. Jar candles with essential oil scents. Finding my love for candles to be expressed with the same ones I use for myself. I had made candles throughout my childhood, very briefly and at random moments. A craft a childhood friend’s mother had shown me. A craft, I had made for my mother on Mother’s Day. A craft that has always lingered, but never blossomed. My husband inspired such a craft, as my previous career had been coming to a halt with the Covid regulations. Panicking with what to do with myself internally, sharing memes to cope externally; I found a meme of which inspired my husband to initiate a passion within me. A passion I timidly expressed, with fear of pushing the envelop. With a need to get my feet wet and learn. I could feel from the time I started crafting candles, the basic jars, were not for me. I had seen some candles with herbs and crystals. I had seen creative expressions of candles with creative vessels. I wanted to do more with myself. I wanted something unique, different, special and most importantly magickal. I wanted something that stood out from it all. Many will argue, but to this day, I do not believe anyone to make candles like I do. They are creative, have a similar witchy aesthetic, but they do not compare. They are unique to themselves with their own niche or edge. I sought to do the same for myself and I did so through following the vision I felt within my mind’s eye. Meadow has been a witness of such evolution and has shown support through every phase.
Meadow responded to the announcement of her winning the giveaway with such genuine joy. I could feel the sense of connection and inspiration she spoke upon. It was the same connection I tapped into every time I received a notification from her profile. The breadcrumbs of her support along my path, at first subconscious, but eventually consciously present, guided me to continue on. I struggle with external validation. I have been on a journey of discerning between which validation is worth my energy. Meadow’s was more than worthy. I am not sure, exactly, what her spiritual or witchy path aligns with, but I can feel into an intuitive power so strong, it is impossible to ignore. She is a divine one, a goddess who’s presence, not makes itself known, but is simply known with grace. I had been wishing to give her one for some time. However, others seemed to come through first. A divine plan, as always. I had made a statement to a few friends, speaking about the followers I wish to support, and I expressed wanting to give her the 9K Giveaway for the special power that is #9 as an angel number. When the 9K finally came, I struggled with finding her profile. A perplexing interaction. I felt into a fear, a worry, that the spark she had for my existence, left. I have had plenty of occasions where I have struggled with the cancel culture mobs. Many attacks for my radical philosophies. Demonic tests of my inner strength and power to stand within myself. To follow my purpose and utilize my voice. I have had to take time to shy away, and typically, Meadow has always seemed to still be there once I get back on my platform. I was worried, I had pushed the limit. I have a struggle with abandonment, people pleasing and as I stated before, external validation.. Lovely Leo Moon Lessons of Wisdom. However, it turned out to be my silly and significantly poor cellular and WiFi connections in my rural homestead. A relief, but also another worry, because I had already announced a different winner. Maybe Meadow was meant to represent the number 10 in my journey. I refused to settle for that answer. I had felt such love from this, stranger. I make my own rules. Who is to say it can only be One Winner? Who is to say that I have to worry about money all the time? I am in control of this entire existence and I can do whatever I want, whenever I feel like it. I have the strength to monitor my free will. I can express it as I choose and when coming from a place of love, joy and magick? How could it not be the right decision for my soul to carry through.
Meadow requested a candle to assist her with expanding her creativity. She provided personal details about her current insights with her path and expressed full trust in me to create as I please. It was quite the journey. I began researching information to gain a present knowledge of the subjects she felt guided to provide to me. I wanted to connect to these expressions deeper to attach personalized symbolism for her with this candle. I put in as much detailed, personalization as I can for each candle. Which is why they all have a story. Meadow’s started off as a new level of witchy intuition. Creating a beautiful moss green for the wax color. This represents her name, or at least the name I associate with her, Meadow. While also representing the color I see when I think of her, that matches her profile icon image, that brings me the spark of creative inspiration to keep doing what I am doing. A color of heart, that is meant to guide Meadow into connecting to that frequency of inspiration she seeks for herself, to understand she radiates that frequency for others, and therefore it is already there, fruited for her bite into.
The scent, Marigold & Frankincense, chosen to embrace the divine spark, the creative flow of the Solar Plexus Charka and the fresh earthy blossom of the Summer Harvest Cycle; the time where we bask in our glory of hard earned work and celebrate our godliness. I spent quite some time stressing and fretting over the placement of the herbs and stones. I desired them to be a layered crescent moon to represent the building blocks of our empire, our inner temple and Tower. I wanted the moon to represent the femininity, the intuition and the witchery of her path. It was a test of my own perfectionism and a creative challenge to trust the process. I believe by the end of the creation process, the crescent moon is present. It may only be visible to special eyes, or it may need to be pointed out due to the spacing illusion of the Rose Quartz stone and the Hibiscus petals. I added a daylily to the crescent moon to attach in all the color symbolism of yellow, while equally blending in the inspiration, success and abundant energy of the Daylily Flower. Rose Quartz for the self love power and fulfillment necessary to unlock such achievements. I specially ordered the Hibiscus Petals for this candle. I wanted to add in the deep burgundy color, that I knew was important for her at this time. I equally enjoyed the symbolism of the sun and the moon with the color play between that of the stones and the petals. Or how if you turn the candle where the crescent is upward, you can see the Crescent Moon as the top of The Empress Tarot Crown and the red petals being the red aura radiating in the background.
This candle represents the beautiful expression of inspiration within
community, authenticity and the divine feminine. The power behind goddesses, supporting goddesses. The sisterhood of nature, of the divine. I am honored to have been able to connect with Meadow, to pour over into her inspiration and experience the light that resides within her heart. Thank you for all the support throughout the ages. May you shine just as brightly, if not more, than you have assisted in the brightness of my light.

I love how this candle came about and it is absolutely gorgeous as per usual! Thank you for sharing!
