Mercury Planetary Intention Candle

This intention candle was inspired by the astrological significations of the planet Mercury. Created as a tool to bring focus and attention to our communication, thoughts, coordination and adaptability. This intention candle is recommended if you’re in a time of transition, writing, working on any communication project or trying to refine the way you communicate, feeling mentally ungrounded or just want to be clear of thought.

Mercury is primarily known as the messenger, the ruler of all methods of communication, expression, the ability to reason and adapt .

Hand poured with 100% pure unscented beeswax, dressed with lavender for calm, cornflowers for healing and mica flakes for some mercurial shimmer. Infused with Green Aventurine and Hematite crystals. Herb dressings also include Cinquefoil a.k.a. “five-fingered grass”.

Aventurine is said to help with mental perception, insight , positivity, protection and openness. Hematite, which is the color of quicksilver is known for its grounding properties, positivity and benefits to cool, sharpen and calm the mind.

Intention candles can be used in any manner you feel drawn to. Often they are used in ritual, prayer, meditation or in ceremony but feel free to adapt it to what works for you. It can be burned as simply as during a bath or while writing/working. The most important part is your intention.

**For best results with your intention candle,  burn this candle for 2-3 hours maximum and never leaving the candle unattended.*Keep the wick centered and trimmed 1/8”-1/4" before lighting it each time for a clean, safe and even burn. Extinguish the candle if the flame seems too high and /or smoking occurs. 

“Burning beeswax candles is said to have healing properties by producing negative ions,  purifying the air and improving one’s health, energy and mood.” In addition, I have chosen not to scent this candle due to the warm, rich scent of honey that the beeswax produces.
