Money Candles hand poured on December 22, 2014. Sun Capricorn with Waxing Moon Capricorn

The new collection of Money Candles was hand poured to Attract Wealth  on December 22, 2014 at 4:00 PM EST. For those who wish to cast a full ephemeris, the co-ordinates are 30:19W, 81:39N.

This day offered the Sun in the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn which offers practical, disciplined, analytic and ambitious energy to the candle. Capricorn energy is excellent for success in business, and combined with the energy of Waxing Moon in Capricorn,  these candles are particularly helpful for those who wish to do ritual or meditations to increase their business incomes. 


As has been mention before on this blog, the increasing or Waxing Moon is the time to pour candles for those things we wish to attract into our lives.

I often choose Moon Taurus for money candles because Taurus is a fixed Earth sign.  Fixed signs are perfecting and finishing signs. However, this pour, the Moon was Waxing to Full in Capricorn. To have a cardinal Earth sign Moon combined with the cardinal Earth sign Sun is a very good energetic offering to bring money into your life. 

Capricorn energy is often noted for bringing reliable, practical and ambitious energy to the pursuit of wealth, pleasure and success. Like all Earth signs, Capricorn is magnetic, and generating. 

As you can see, the primary planetary influences for the pour are most excellent to help you achieve your goals. As always, an affirmation created to help you affirm and attract wealth for the greatest good is included with your purchase. You are the magic, the candle is a powerful focusing tool to help you accomplish your goals. 

As these money candles are all hand poured by Ann George and are not seen nor handled by another, the collection is limited. As the heavens are in constant motion, the timing of the pour also brings special energies you may use to your advantage.

Moon pouring of candles is based on the idea that we live in an interdependent, vibrational world of energetic phenomena... appearing as solid, or real. If you are able to agree that all is ultimately energy, and that the melting of wax at an auspicious time will allow the wax to be "tuned" to the energy of that time, then moon poured candles will be valuable to you.

Here are a few planetary moments I find very encouraging. If you are somewhat familiar with beneficial aspects, this information will be very helpful for you:

Sun :  1 Capricorn 49   + 0:00' (-)  9th house

Moon: 24 Capricorn 26   + 4:58' (F)  9th house

Mercury: 10 Capricorn 27  - 2:06' (-)  9th house 

Venus: 16 Capricorn 22  - 1:09' (-)  9th house 

Candles are for sale online. PayPal handles the transactions. I do not take your credit card information by phone. Visit: Money Candles to place your order. Shipping by Priority Mail is included in the price. I do not ship outside the USA. Candles are sold on first come, first served basis. Due to the energetic nature, all sales are final. Please feel welcome to contact me before you make your purchase.

(Recently I have seen money candles offered for sale that are made in the likeness of dollars, coins, or icons for money. In western culture, we do not burn what we value. The idea of burning the image of what we want is - to me - counterintuitive.)

Ritual Candles - Questions & Answers About Use & Care

I am pleased to post this questions and answer discussion between myself & a remarkable customer, with her kind permission. i feel that the topics covered will be of benefit to all who use candles for prayer, ritual & meditation. I will post the original letter first, and continue forward to the resolution.

Letter One - Feb 24, 2009:

Ann,

I purchased two candles from you and they have been wonderful. We recently moved and the candles were accidently damaged. The protection candle has a crack through the center and the wealth candle has a crush damage on the top and bottom.

I am concerned because we are experiencing some "bad luck." My intuition is telling me I should purchase a new set, but want to properly "lay to rest" the original candles. What is the proper method for handling the damaged candles?

Thank you so much,

Donna Y

My Reply:

Hello Donna,

Thank you for your letter. I have given your question a good deal of thought.
I always encourage people to trust their intuition, so if you want to lay the damaged candles to rest, then, wrap them in white paper, or black silk & keep them in a drawer somewhere... sort of "saving" them.

However, my own first thought is to burn them. The energy of the moment is still in the wax, regardless of appearance. The most useful, empowered way to lay them to rest for me would be to burn them up.

I don't advise that you do the meditation with them, but rather just light the wick & burn each candle as a candle, enjoy the light & the fragrance. I am interested to know which method you prefer.

Wishing you continued success in all things,

Ann George

Letter Two - Mar 2, 2009:

Ann,

I thought you might like to hear how things have progressed. I started burning the candles just outright and things got worse. I wrapped them as instructed and placed them in a drawer and things have improved again.
I wanted to give it time to confirm my suspicions. Sometimes energies in the universe can overlap and you think one thing is the cause and it turns out it is something else so I try to make sure I am eliminating the proper negative influence.

Anyway, we have seen an improvement since "silencing" the candles and plan on purchasing our new ones tonight. Thank you for all your assistance. Any additional insight you might have would be helpful on how to best lay to rest our troubled candles.

Namaste,

Donna

My Reply - March 3, 2009


Hello Donna,

Thanks so much for your note. I find it very interesting that the damaged candles seem to correlate to episodes of "not luck".
I feel confident that the intent of the candle cannot be damaged by damage to the pillar itself. So, in looking for insights, I am reminded of a traditional mystical "rule" to protect ones sacred objets, power objects, relics & spiritual images; to care for them & to keep them in sacred space.

In my own experience, once, accidentally, and in an impatient hurry, I damaged a sacred object. The damage was minimal, but my distress, shame about my carelessness & concern for the karmic repercussions was profound & energeticallly quite loud.

I felt bad about the damage done for days. I did purifications practices within my tradition to energetically repent and atone for my error. This worked for me, as I have a traditional that offers specific practices for such times. As well, I felt better for taking an action.

So, the suggestion of putting the candles to rest in a protected space may be best. (This is a reference to wrapping each of them in black silk & keeping them in a cabinet, drawer, some place where special things go.) It would be an atonement, and perhaps, over time, they may be a useful offering to burn when another atonement time is at hand. Again, your intuition is usually the best insight.

It is also possible that other factors are at play and energies are overlapping that make the burning of these particular candles coincide with other disturbances.
Simultaneously, there are times when the purification of karmas manifest as "troubles" especially when we are at the end of them. This is also true in energy healings when there seems to be a marked increase in all the symptoms of a disease just before there is a complete healing.

I really do thank you for sharing these experiences with me, and look forward to other notes you care to send. I am quite sure this question & answer sort of dialogue will also be useful to others who include candle work in their spiritual journey.

May I have permission to post our conversation to my blog? I will use any "pen name" you like.. or link back to any blogs you may be publishing if that would benefit you.
We may also get other insights should visitors care to comment.

I look forward to your reply.

With best regards,

Ann George

Letter Three - March 4, 2009:

Ann,

I am honored that you want to post our discussion. I also agree that it may take time to learn the true cause of our disturbance. Our life is filled with change, excitement and stress currently. Your candles are extremely potent and their influence is so obvious that I instantly thought of them as a source for our "trouble" when they were damaged. I only burn the money candle occasionally because I am not able to keep up with the success it brings if i burn it too often.

I am relieved to have your insight and instruction about the intent of the magic vs. the pillar as the source for the power they have. I am also taking steps to protect our space and dispel any negative chi that may be collecting as a result of these changes in our life. Perhaps, there is a negative force wanting to harm our candles and from your words I know I should not give power to that force. For now, I will protect the candles, monitor closely and attempt to narrow down further what is happening.

I will keep you posted. I know in the past when I was dealing with a negative force it took sometime to find the source and I was mislead a couple of times into thinking that I had figured it out. As I write this my intuition is telling me that this is important and that I was not thinking about this as a cause and I am taking a step in the right direction. Before, I was merely focused on the result of the accident to our candles and not thinking enough about the cause.

I think when our new candle arrives that I will protect it between use until this is resolved. Since you have sold out of the protection candles, I will meditate with the protection candle I have for guidance as to whether I can use it the same way by protecting it between uses. Your thoughts on this would be most welcome.

Again, you have helped me greatly. I am so appreciative of your guidance. Thank you for being a strong positive force for the universe.

Blessings,

Donna

UPDATE - March 4, 2009 10:22:57 AM

Amazing, I just have to tell you very quickly what has transpired in the last few minutes of writing to you last. I called my husband to discuss our e-mails and to ask him to pick up a few items for me to perform my regular rituals.

Writing to you helped me to focus and channel myself to understand what is happening to us. So much has been revealed to me further by talking this through with him and I am seeing where I let myself be distracted from my rituals and am seeing the result in these disturbances.

We moved into a "new" house of a friend. I really like the neighborhood, my friend and the house. For a variety of reasons, I neglected and put off some of my normal rituals for cleansing and preparing our sacred space. I also ignored the warning signs I had been getting from my new neighbor who has become an instant friend but does not realize he's been trying to show me the dissonance in my new home caused by the previous tenants.

In particular, one person who used to live there was very set on sucking the life out of the house and money from the owner through various means. I am usually very intuned with harmful energy and can feel it as soon as I enter a home or meet someone. This person must not be inherently bad, but simply a drainer of success and financial well being. I allowed myself to be too distracted and I did not listen to my new home as I should have.

As soon as I got off the phone an order came in for my business and the house began speaking to me in small ways to say I am on the right track. I am going to order the housewarming candle and perform the rituals I should have performed to begin with properly. My inner being is just dancing with excitement.

I will let you know how things progress.

Namaste,

Donna

When is it best to burn moonpoured candles?

I am happy to reply to this excellent question for the benefit of all shoppers at the Moon poured Candle Store.
Here we go:

Greetings Ann,

I recently received two of your candles as a gift from a wonderful new friend. The Reiki Healing Candle and the Success Candle. Is there a sequence that I should follow with these candles (e.g., Reiki first and Success second or visa versa? )
I am anxious to start using them and I want to make sure that I do it correctly for the best results.

When I hand pour the candles, I try to create beautiful tools to serve as "complete little units of intention". What I mean by that is that each candle in and of itself is poured to make the best use of color, fragrance, intent, moon phases and sun times so that you may burn your candle at anytime. The idea is to instill in the molten wax, all the best possible ingredients to heal the body, mind and spirit so that you may manifest the healing, success, wealth or love that you want in your life.

If you prefer to work with the affirmation included in the Reiki Candle first, focusing exclusively on that before you move on to use the Success Candle, this is fine. If you prefer to manifest Success in the morning, then have a peaceful healing candle meditation that evening, also fine. I don't think burning both at once would be very helpful, as the meditation/affirmation part of the right use of candles in ritual matters. In fact, it is your intent, your prayers, your own personal inner voice that makes candle ritual effective. Thus, your inner voice is the best guide to follow when choosing when or how to use of the candles. The labile, instructions and affirmation are for your benefit, and serve to help you choose the candle that is the right one for you.

You may also benefit from visiting this article on the Ritual and Intent. That article explores the issue of intent in greater detail.

I am trust you will enjoy your candles! and feel welcome to write again should you have any further questions.

With all best wishes, Ann George

FAQ & the use of Ritual Candles

This post is in reply to some excellent questions I just received. While the link referenced in the title does provide a general introduction to candle burning ritual, these questions were specific and you may find the answers to be helpful in your own meditation & ritual work. This is the list of questions I received:

We would like to have more information on the use of the candles we purchased from you. All the questions you can answer would be a great help.

1) When is best time to light it ( the candle) ?
It is best to light the candle when you have plenty of time to focus your attention on the ritual process. It doesn't really matter whether you choose morning, mid day or evening. What matters most is that you can sit and repeat the affirmation included with each candle at least 10 times. The candles are all moon poured, so the energy of the best time to light it is really already included in the candle. For more information on using moon phases for candle ritual, please visit my article on moon phases.

2) How long do i keep it lit at a time?
It is best to sit in meditation with the candle, repeating the affirmation for at least 10 to 15 minutes every day until the candle has been burned up. It is not necessary to leave the candle burning when you are away from it. The candle is a focusing tool to help you do the greatest magic of all, that of transforming your internal dialogue.

3) Do I leave it in the same place or more it around the house?
It is best to do ritual and meditation work in the same place, preferably some place in the home that feels good to you. A place that is "just yours", one that may have a small personal alter or shrine. Many people find it helpful to place their shrine or alter so that they face east when praying.

4) As we both have sons we are trying to help, can we even help our sons with us using the candles?
Yes! This is a great question. Our prayers can be dedicated to the benefit of anyone. When we do candle ritual to pray for healing, wealth, love, success or any other blessing... we can pray that our loved ones receive equal or greater blessing that those we are asking for ourselves.

I hope have answered these questions completely. If not, please feel welome to post additonal questions at your convenience.
With all best wishes,

Ann George
