'SCORPIO' Ritual Candle
🦂 ♏︎ ✨️
Scorpios are our alchemists, the shadow workers, the keeper of secrets + the truth seekers of the zodiac.
Scorpio is a water sign, ruled by Pluto - the planet of transformation, power, death + rebirth. Scorpio energy is intense, intuitive, passionate, private + mysterious. It represents the willingness to descend into the shadows, confront the truth + emerge transformed.
I handcrafted these candles in black, which represents mystery, darkness, the unknown, depth + the shadow self. The copper scorpio sign + drip represent transformation and alchemy. Think of medieval alchemists' copper equipment ⚗️ together they represent shadow work, transformation + the alchemy of becoming + support personal transformation, protection, courage + inner power.
The crystals:
🩵 Turquoise: for protection, wisdom + truthful communication to encourage Scorpio to express inner truths + to trust their own wisdom
❤️ Garnet for passion, courage + vitality - supports Scorpio's emotional intensity
🤎Tigerseye for confidence, clear judgment + personal power: helps Scorpio navigate their intense emotions without losing sight of their intentions
The herbs + mushrooms:
🌺 Hibiscus reflects Scorpio's magnetic nature + connection to the mysteries of life
🌲Cypress: traditionally associated with death, mourning + the continuity of life. This energy just fits to Scorpio's symbolism of endings, transitions + renewal
🏵 Marigolds for remembrance, the cycles of life/death + hope to bring a spark of vitality into Scorpio's darkness
🍄 Amanita Muscaria to represent the mysteries of life, supports Scorpio to look beyond the surface + veils
🌿 Nettle for resilience + boundaries, fit Scorpio's instinct to guard their inner world
Each element was chosen to honor Scorpio's connection to mystery, the shadow self + the transformative cycles of life
♏︎ this candle is for the shadow workers, the truth seekers, the ones who know that sometimes we must descend into the darkness to discover our own power again ♏️
Use it to honor Scorpio season + your scorpio energy, as altar decor or as a gift for your Scorpio friends ♏︎ 🦂
