Anti-Depression Self Love Candle Recipe

Ok lovelies here is my Anti-Depression Self Love Candle recipe for all my fellow mentally ill witches on my blog.

Things you need (all precharged and cleansed where needed)

a white or pink (love) candlestick
blue dripping wax (health and healing)
black dripping wax (protection)
dried eucalyptus leaves (healing)
dried rose petals (self love)
4 cloves (healing and naturally painkilling)
salt (protection and purifying)
coffee grounds (magic amplifying)
rose oil (self love)
eucalyptus oil(healing)
left over herbs and two sprigs of fresh eucalyptus
a small basin to hold the candle

(I know this seems like a lot of ingredients but u can tailor this to what you have and need)

Steps :

throw the dried eucalyptus leaves, rose petals, cloves, salt, and coffee in a motor and powder them as fine as you can with a pestle. focus on the intention behind each ingredient as you do this, what will these herbs help you with? (i guess you can also food process these? but since i don’t have a food processor i did this by hand and this step took me a little while lol)
leave your powdered herb mix to the side, if you want to draw sigils on your candlestick, now is the time to do so. i used my ‘i am loving’ sigil on mine.
now anoint your precleaned candle with the eucalyptus and rose essential oils. i used 2 drops of eucalyptus and 4 of rose because the eucalyptus is such a strong scent i didn’t want the rose to be overpowered. you want the candle super oily so your herbs will stick to it’s sides.
over some parchment or newspaper, begin pressing your powders onto your anointed candle. if some falls off that’s ok, you can sprinkle it over the candle when the candles almost finished and your not handling it so much.
melt the wax on the base of your candle using a lighter or match and, working quickly, press the candle to your basin to secure it. doing this now instead of as the last step makes it so much easier to drip the wax over your candles without rubbing off the herbs.
now it’s time to drip the wax over your candle, just do this until you feel satisfied that you can see the colour and it looks cute.
after you’ve finished step 6 the candle itself is finished! just fill the basin with leftover herbs and herb powder. i threw some salt and rose buds on top of mine too.
stick the eucalyptus sprigs in the herb bath and you’re completely done!
