During the three-week period when Mercury is in retrograde (June 18th – July 12th), this limited edition Crystal Candle will help you navigate Mercury Retrograde. These crystals — Hematite, Amazonite and Lapis Lazuli — will help you get grounded, go with the flow and communicate clearly during this chaotic time.
Mercury Retrograde a three-week period in which the planet Mercury appears to be moving in a backwards motion. As the “messenger planet,” Mercury is said to govern communication, technology and travel. When this planet is in apparent retrograde, communication, technology and travel often go awry. To help you survive Mercury Retrograde, this Crystal Candle contains the energy you need to stay grounded, communicate clearly and go with the flow. The frankincense essential oils within the candle remove negative energy and lift your mood, while the crystals address the potential energetic shifts you’ll need to negative this tumultuous time. As one of the most powerful grounding crystals, Hematite weighs you down and helps you feel supported. The pair of Hematite crystals in this candle work to bring balance and stability to both sides of your body, and your environment. Lapis Lazuli, a powerful crystal for communication, helps to ensure that you express yourself and listen to the best of your ability. This crystal candle for Mercury Retrograde also includes Amazonite to help you stay flexible throughout all the twists and turns along this 3-week wild ride.
The coconut oil used to produce this candle is extracted from the kernel of mature coconuts that are sustainably harvested from the Coconut Palm tree (Cocos Nucifera). Coconuts are a renewable and sustainable resource since no tree is cut down in order to pick the coconuts and extract the coconut oil. The coconut palm tree is known as a "three generation" tree because one tree lives and bears fruit for up to 60 years, which means it can support a farmer, the farmer’s children, and the farmer’s grandchildren over three generations.
The coconut trees are not sprayed with pesticides and the coconut wax is vegan. We used coconut oil because it has a lower melt point which helps to keep the therapeutic benefits and phytoactive values of the essential oils alive in the most holistic way. This candle is made using real essential oils to create a plant-based aroma.
Burn this candle to bring a grounding energy to your space during Mercury Retrograde. Once your candle has burned down, carefully remove the Hematite, Amazonite and Lapis Lazuli stones. During the 3-week period when Mercury is in retrograde, place one Hematite stone with Amazonite in your left pocket and the other Hematite stone with the Lapis Lazuli in your right pocket.
How to Safely Remove Your Crystals:
Use a tweezer or small spoon to safely remove your crystals in order to harvest them and use them while setting your intention. If you find that your crystals are burning close to the wick, or are effecting how your candle burns, go ahead and remove them. Simply rinse your crystals with warm water to remove the coconut wax.
Warning: Burn within sight. Keep away from things that catch fire. Keep away from children and pets.
