The grief release candle offers you comfort during the hardest time a person can go through. Whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a pet, or even a relationship it’s always important to mourn and heal from the pain and anguish you feel after losing someone you loved and who had an important role in your life. Each layer signifies one of the seven stages of grief, from shock and denial to acceptance and hope. You can burn this candle slowly as you heal or continue to help you through a hard time. The herbs included will help you in your grief, soothing and comforting you. Included as well are quartz and obsidian to aid in the release of negative energies and help bring forth new light. Poured during a waning gibbous moon to help release pain and anguish. The scent is of citrus and teakwood to help reinvigorate you and alleviate pain.
 
Each candle and crystals were charged in moonlight after being cleansed. Clean your stone with warm water once you have burned your candle down, keep it with you or set it in your home so you can continue to benefit from its properties.
 
Every candle features a spell or affirmation card, say the words as you let your candle burn to further enforce your set intention.
 
Each candle is handmade with 100% soy wax, roughly 12oz (I pour with love but not necessarily with precision) and comes in a glass status jar.
 
Candles poured during a waning gibbous moon encourage the release of things that no longer serve you. 
 
Because natural ingredients are used, each individual candle is unique and may have slight variations from the picture. Some herbs or botanical elements may come loose during shipping – just scoot them back over to the edge of the glass before lighting your candle.
 
The first time you burn your candle, make sure you burn it long enough for the pool of melted wax to reach the rim of the glass to avoid “tunneling”. 
 
Please use caution when removing your stone – the stones can get very hot when near the candle flame so please do NOT try to handle them when the candle is lit or has been recently extinguished. I recommend fishing them out of the glass with a disposable spoon (or similar) when the wax is cool-ish but still melted, then wiping thoroughly with a paper towel until clean. Do not try to rinse your stone without first wiping off the wax – cold water may harden the wax onto the stone or hot water may flush the wax down your drain which can cause plumbing issues.
 
Do not leave a burning candle unattended, and do not burn the candle low enough so that the herbs or botanical elements might catch. Only burn the candle on a heat-resistant surface and please use caution when handling the candle while the candle is lit or recently extinguished as it can get hot.
