Topics: Clarifying thought and behavior patterns Protection and strength of our ancestors Clearing the way for new things Color: Forest green Tree: Juniper Juniper helps us to explore the heritage of our ancestors and thus to examine inherited thought and behavior patterns. As an evergreen tree of life and “guardian,” it illuminates our view of everything we have been taught under its protective needles. The juniper in the candle is supported by mugwort oil, an equally great protective, medicinal, and magical plant that clears the way for new things. Our ancestors are our tribe. They paved the way for our arrival and our lives. If the connection to them is unclouded, we feel safe, nourished, and strengthened to be ourselves and to live out our talents and abilities. They are like a warm blanket that surrounds us and gives us the confidence to live the adventure of life. As children, we orient ourselves on what they think, how they feel, and how they act. They are almost like a divine authority to us. We listen to their sound and eventually think it's our own. We internalize what they reflect back to us about ourselves. Often, they looked at us with their adopted patterns and imprints, failing to recognize who and what we truly are. Just as they felt as children. Therefore, perhaps they weren't always able to give us what we so desperately needed. This creates a void later on, an unwanted distance from them, or arguments. Without realizing it, we continue to live on "their" legacy. Their story is always part of our story, whether we want it or not. The color green represents maturity and letting go of bitterness. It also connects us to the qualities of female leadership and fertility. Allgäu medicinal herb candles are handmade in a small factory, made from 100% sustainably sourced vegetable stearin and a blend of plant extracts, medicinal herb essences, essential oils, and more tailored to the respective life theme. The effect is similar to a fine incense burn: Transformed by the fire, the information and vibration of the extracts are released, supporting spiritual and mental intentions. Allgäu medicinal herb candles are not scented candles in the traditional sense; they burn for up to 40 hours and are drip-free as long as they are not exposed to drafts. https://www.kraeuterdrogerie.at/aktuelles/heilkraeuterkerzen.
