I really enjoyed watching this. It brought back a lot of memories of my family candle shop. So many hours making candles,wicks, and working with molds. It was all just family, and loved selling them at craft fairs. Good times! :)
So..my daughter and I have been subscribed to your channel for..since the beginning! My daughter is a brand new teenager, and I'm in my 30's. I wanted to tell you how much your journey has lifted up both my daughter, and myself. You're quite the wise woman 💗
That's so cool about making candles and the intent of them. I didn't know that candles burning with the herbs could be used for protection. But I'm new. I love watching candles burn when it's dark in a room. It reminds me of a camp fire. And is so calming to me. I had been thinking about making candles lately from beeswax. But not sure about how to melt it and with what. Today I've been in pain so that project was saved for later. I think it's cool that I find this video after thinking about the subject. Thanks for demonstrating your first try.💚
I’m really drawn to candle magic and the idea of making my own candles for magical purposes make me super excited! I really enjoy creating things from scratch as well. Thank you for sharing Annie! 💛
I have used candles for decades. A suggestion for those who don't want to make and add herbs to candle, place in bottom of candle holder before placing candle in, or sprinkle around candle on table.
YES... that was my most favorite part of this particular video too. LOVE the rain. LOVE impactful weather, wind, pouring rain, blizzards, lightning, thunder. You nailed it on the head... energy...
Video request! How to incorporate a pagan belief into your witchcraft, when you're not working with deities? Context : I have been doing intuitive magic for all my life, and now I am starting to explore my native folklore and norse paganism/nordic mythology in general. Therefore I realized that I have practiced witchcraft all my life without knowing it, and now I wanna get into doing it much more intentionally - at the same time I want to do it more in line with my new life as a norse pagan. Since I only just started on both of these paths, I wanted to hear your thoughts on the matter, please? 🙏
I absolutely adore your videos. I’ve been on my journey of green witchcraft for nearly a year now, and you’ve really helped in guiding my journey. Thank you! Bless you! 💚
Some options to avoid the rattling sound are a rolled up towel in the bottom of the pan, a metal rack if you have one that fits in the bottom of the pan, canning jar rings in the bottom of the pan. Basically you just need something to lift it off the bottom of the pan.
Had to watch this video twice, the second one simply to focus on the patter of the rain... who knew what could make your voice more soothing than it already is ? Seriously, I am so envious that you had three days in a row of what seemed like steady rain, working on your spell candle beside that huge window to boot. What a sublime opportunity to just chill and soak in that kind of... well... magic.
This video was confirmation for me. I have been following my intuition primarily in my spiritual journey, and I felt the urge to add rosemary to my white candle. I know rosemary is good for protection, as I burn it often for cleansing, but I haven't ever formally done a protection spell. I felt like this was probably a protection spell, so this video hardcore confirmed that I'm headed in the right spiritual direction. 🥰✨🌿🍂🍃🕯
I love watching your videos, they're so peaceful and they also inspire me to do things that have gotten away from me in the past few, extremely busy/stressful, years. I'm watching this one on a cloudy/dreary Saturday morning, everyone in my house is still asleep or at work, and sitting here watching you craft and sipping my coffee...I can't put into words how relaxing and how much peace it brings to me, plus, oddly enough, it's makes me motivated to (of all things) work on my house de-cluttering so I can get back to doing the things I love to do. Thank you so much for sharing and for all of your time and effort that goes into your videos, I truly do appreciate you and what your videos bring into my own life.
My first time making a candle looked so much worse and un-aesthetic haha beautiful video! Thank you for taking us with you on your learning journey! 🌿💚
What a cool topic! Making candles is something I really wanted to do for a long time, because I have so many left that didn't burn down completely and I'm saving the leftover pieces since years. 😅
You mentioned still learning on your candle magic path. I'm curious if you have tried (or thought of) a wood based wick to get more of a crackle from the candle? I've always been drawn to candles, and really well the flame for that matter, but candles due to the cleansing fragrance. So I found this video really comforting and informative. The engineer in me also immediately went into 'how to make this better' mode. I've recently begun starting down my Pagan path, trying to find a niche where I might more closely align. I definitely am nature based, maybe more so than most, as the only place I really feel 'at home' is out in the woods. Which is where my mind immediately went to, with candle magic. Bringing the outdoors in. That snap and crackle of a wood fire would promote a remembrance and gratitude toward the flame, which is serving your intention(s). There is a lot about our lives that simple placebo effects have a way of enhancing (intentions). Might be something to think about as a way to level up a particular candle, because as it burns you would keep being reminded of its presence even more so than by scent alone.
Thanks, Annabel, for another great video! I look forward to seeing all your videos and am disappointed ONLY once they end (I wish they were longer). I’m in a new home and would love to implement a protection spell candle here, so your timing is perfect! Thanks! ❤️🙂
Thankyou for sharing how to use a premade candle, as well as making from scratch, I'll be trying both 💡 Unrelated question, do you make your own necklaces, or purchase from a specific crafter? I notice a variety of them and am curious 🙂
I love making soy candles! I take pop cycle sticks and put a hole in the middle to hold my wick it works pretty well! Beautiful candle thank you for sharing!💜🧙🏻♀️
@@megane11222 my husband has a drill with a bit he uses it’s the size of a nail hole 😁. I just reuse them over and over they last a while. I get the large ones in a pack from wal mart. 😊
You bring many of us peace by your peaceful real ways. Thank you for being yourself. I get why your girlfriend wants to stay back. Blessings on you both.
I made an oil lamp with a mason jar yesterday and it’s so true that making these things from scratch can add so much magick to spells (edit) I made it for introspection and shadow work during the new moon
To comment on your video about that antique table: DONT BUY FROM ANTIQUE STORES! They usually carry energy and as you experienced its not good. You have to follow the paper trail of items inside antique stores ie where did it come from? Who owned it? Where was it made? Most of the time however you may mot find out so its best to just leave those places alone.
I have made myown candles for 50 years. I collect old candle wax and melt it down. I use and old sausepan i wont use again for food and just melt it. And put in a mould with a metal centree, once formed take out centre. Use string for wick. Pour a little wax in centre in stages once set you have a candle. I use a bog roll for a mould this gets dumped after use. Hope it helps
I am so happy I found your channel! Wonderful content. You are very relaxing to listen to. I am new to the craft and am going to try making candles soon. Very informative. Thank you!
If you don't have hot glue candle wax holds wicks down perfectly too🥰 not sure bout tape tho lol beautiful candle and great video ty for sharing 🖤✌️ many blessings to you and Hazel 🐾💜
Looks amazing. Well done! Its been years since I've made a candle, but I've been thinking about getting back in to it. Thankyou for inspiring me. Blessings 🙏💖
Lay 2 bamboo sticks or chopsticks across the top of the vessel being filled. Secure with tape. Pinch a wick between them centering the wick. Often you can pour a small amount of wax, set the wick in place, allow to cool slightly to avoid drift. Then finish the pour. Remove the bamboo and tape when the wax begins to cool. Trim wick.
Beautiful as always, so inspiring and relaxing to watch. I also shall take Hazel's advice and always make sure to involve some squeaky sasquatch into my craft.
Instead of using tape to stick down the wick you could use a little bit of melted wax! Just dip the bottom of it in wax and place it in the jar. The candle you made was beautiful :))
Do you have asbestos fingers? I always see you touching hot things and rarely if ever see any potholders. You astound me, even if it just seems like the pots and jars are still screaming hot.
Love this! I’ve been experimenting with melting down tea lights and adding correspondences when I’m in a pinch. I’m trying to add natural materials to obtain specific colors and tea lights are easy to pop out if their tin and also the wicks then replace after melting!
I make my own candles and it can be a long tedious process if making more than one. LOL my pot that I melt in sits on the rim so it doesn't make noise while boiling LOL. Love making my own candles tho LOL
QUERY FOR ASSISTANCE PLEASE… I inherited my mother’s antique traveling buddha statue. He is very old and made of ironwood, with gold wire inlay and ivory eyes & teeth. He became her friend and she would talk to him as her dementia took over. In her lucid moments, I told her I would take care of him. There have been some interesting moments around him. We recently moved and he was just unpacked this evening. Suggestions for which video/s of yours to keep “him” calm? I don’t have time or energy for his shenanigans right now. I did pick up some smudge sticks a few days ago, and some amber resin. (My other “things” are still buried in the pile of cardboard boxes we’re still unpacking.)
thanks for this video Annabel, really very useful, full of your calm and your passion of Green Witch. You hear the rain, very loud, a beautiful background noise. I'm buying soy wax and wicks, I want to make this candle, rosemary and sage I have them because I grow them on my balcony. a big hug!
Lovely 💕.. we all need a protection candle.. I was so worried you was going to burn yourself heating the wax!! Phew! Thank goodness you didn't ( my mum head ) Beautiful candle and herbs. May do them as a Christmas gift for my daughter. Thank you 💕
In color choices, do you want it to reflect, absorb, or destroy negativity, or even send it back to the source. Sending back is powerful because the cause of the negativity or attack will be hit by thier own. In absorbing with a black candle burn it all the way and do not re use it. A small one to destroy what was absorbed so as to not keep it around. Strategy is key to good self defense, or even healing as well. Remember keep what you like, always rid yourself of what you do not like. Archangel Michael
