Mayan Calendar • Winter Solstice • Sacred Days Candle

This may be one of the most remarkable candle collections I have ever poured. There are three astrologic events that make this such and important candle. I am pleased to say these candles are now for sale and ready to ship.

The astrologic moment that received the most attention was that of 12/21/2012 and it's relationship to  the Mayan Calendar.  Various interpretations of the significance of the date proposed that this moment marked the End of the World, others saw it as the moment of a New Calendar or a New Era in human evolution. I do not recall too many dates that have received such attention for global transformation. 

Of great interest to me is a second prophecy, or astrologic awareness that received almost no attention ( by design ). The day, 12/21/2012, and the time in particular (6:11 AM EST) of this pour, was predicted by some Native American tribes of the American South West to be the moment when our earth was in alignment with the center of the galaxy, and therefore marking the beginning of a New Phase.  I offer many thanks to my spiritual collaborator in sacred astrology and spiritual ceremony for bringing this time to my attention. 

In the Western calendar, December 21st of most any year marks the Winter Solstice.  This year,  at 6:11 AM EST the Sun was at 0 degrees Capricorn, 00 minutes Capricorn. To me this is a breath taking coincidence for the following reasons:

When teaching Tarot from the Hermetic perspective, and in particular empowered by the wisdom of Daniel C. Matt and his book on the Tree of Life, I always talk about the "inhale" -  the in breath before the great exhale of the Creator that was/is the "Big Bang" or the creation of our known world. To me, the most sacred moment is the moment before the kiss, before the brush is dipped in paint, before the chisel strikes the stone, for in that moment........ all is possible. At 6:11 AM EST at my longitude and latitude, the Sun was 0 degrees Capricorn and 00 minutes Capricorn..... the ultimate galactic inhale!

On 12/21/2012 I arose at 4:11 AM to ensure that all would be ready. The molds were prepared, the wax was melted, the fragrances were blended and "oned"  with each other and the purpose of the candle. All time keeping devices were synchronized so that I could actually begin to pour at exactly 6:11 AM. I continued in one pointed and sacred attention to pour candles as quickly as possible until 6:12 AM. For this reason, the collection is quite small. (The candles cooled throughout the day and were finished and sealed before nightfall. They were not left unattended. Sacred space was not broken.) 

It was therefore thrilling to see the Celtic Solstice in keeping with Native astrology at 6:11 AM for a rare alignment of another galactic world view. I did not choose to place an extravagant price on candles that capture this rare moment, rather to add only $5 to the usual price. This makes the total of the cost of the candles to be - in numerology  a "9" - Foundation - the sphere of the Moon on the Tree of LIfe.

I could continue to write at length about the phase of the Moon or the meanings of Earth signs, however, for those who already understand the candle, and the timing of it..... all that information is icing on an remarkable cake. For those unfamiliar with energy healing, vibrational healing, sacred days and the power of the energy of moments, there is little I could write that would make the candle more that a curio.

However, the affirmation for this candle affirms your endurance, immortality, wisdom, and one ness with the nature of all things. I took great care in writing a meditation that would be worthy of such an auspicious time. This candle will be excellent to help open the crown chakra, for all chakra work in general, and to bring a sense of peace and personal power to you. 

I thank all my clients who have supported my work. Your validation and appreciation are more healing than you may ever know! 

Ever forward!

Update 10/2020: I am no longer pouring candles. Thanks to all who supported the magic. Peace

Winter Solstice Candles: Heart Chakra Healing Candles

This limited collection of Sacred Day candles was poured on the Winter Solstice which occurred 12/21/09. The candles were poured  at at 9:30 PM EST in a natural palm oil wax which gives this crystalline appearance and are cobalt blue in color.

For an ephemeris of the time, date and location of the pour visit Chaos Astrology. The co-ordinates you require to cast a chart for the candles is 30.31 West, 81.72 North.

More information on the nature of the candles, as well as shopping cart buttons are on line on the Winter Solstice candle page.

I think it is important to notice that the candles were poured just as the Sun moved into the Cardinal Earth sign of Capricorn in the Third House. As well, the Moon was Waxing to full in the mutable Water sign of Pisces.

If you are new to astrology, or pouring candles by the signs, I encourage you to do a bit of browsing, either on my site, at various links on the blog, or the web in general.

Please know that Ann George goes to great lengths to ensure that you receive a carefully hand crafted ritual candle, poured in sacred space, with focused intent at the best possible moment to help you visualize, and thus co-create the future you desire.

For those new to Chakra work, blue is the color associated with the Heart chakra, and these candles, combined with a very evocative and relaxing custom fragrance, which is a blend of traditional herbals scents, are excellent to help you do breath work, or any other kind of energy healing you need for a peaceful heart.

An affirmation as well as instructions (not pictured) are included on the label of every candle. There are many FAQ pages on this blog to help you explore candle meditation, or candle magic as some like to call it.

All candles ship free by Priority Mail in the USA only. Payment is processed by PayPal. Telephone orders are not accepted at this time.  Should you wish to purchase by money order, please contact the Studios.

Winter Solstice Candles - Sacred Dream - Lucid Dreams

The new collection of Winter Solstice candles are now ready for sale. For indepth information on the Winter Solstice in general, I invite you to visit this fine article.Hand poured on December 22, 2007, these palm oil candles have a unique feathered texture and soft, smooth feel. They are very long burning and have a cotton wick. (The candles are a bit darker blue than they seem in my browser.)

I created a Sacred Dream fragrance to honor the longest night of the year, and to provide a soothing energy to the dream state. The scent is a blend of Frankincense, Patchouli, Egyptian Musk, Herbs & Spices. I think it has meadow green top notes, an earthy base and a citrus undertone. The fragrances are gently released as the candle burns, so the fragrance is not over powering.

On this day/night, the Moon was in Gemini, a mutable Air sign. The advantages of the Moon in Air for a Sacred Dream intention is that dream, like thoughts & words are air energy experiences... fleeting, intangible yet powerful and moving. Mutable signs area flexible, versatile & adaptable, so for those who seek to perfect lucid dreaming, the mutable qualities of Gemini Moon are well suited to this outcome.

Some clients use this candle to help heal Throat Chakra issues, particularly those where one feels restricted, unable to speak out, speak up or sometimes even to voice issues that are important. These issues are often played out in our dreams, sometimes causing nightmares.

It is not my intention to present these candles as remedies, but as tools to help you focus, to transform, or simply to honor the movement of the heavens & the sacred days of ancients. All candles come with ritual instructions as well as an affirmation written specifically for this pour. They are sealed upon complete in cellophane to preserve their fragrance. They are handled by no one but their maker.

If you click the title of this post, you will arrive at my little online store for more information and the ability to purchase. This is a limited edition pour, so only 16 remain available.

Thank you for your kind attention to my post.
