DIY Ostara Candles & Ritual
When creating this intention candle be sure to listen to some relaxing music: lofi, solfeggio frequencies or something that creates a happy and uplifting environment while you work. The ambiance is important as you are filling this candle with intentions throughout the creation process. So fill it with love and recite affirmations as you create, so that when it burns it will release those intentions to your Spirit Guides/Goddess/Universe.
1) Gather roses in your favorite colors. Remove petals and press them in between two sheets of parchment paper and enclose in a book. Stack extra books on top to add weight and reduce your pressing time.
2) Check petals over the next 1-2 days. They will be ready when they are completely flat. Do not allow them to fully dry out or you will not be able to work with them.
3) Clean the surface of an all white prayer candle and grab your mod podge. You can add glitter into your mod podge to accentuate the color of your rose petals and add some sparkle.
4) Apply mod podge to the surface of the glass and smooth rose petals onto the glass. Repeat process until the candle is completely covered in petals.
5) Coat candle in an extra layer of mod podge to seal and allow to dry for 1-2 days.
6) When you are ready to light your candle(s) give yourself some time to sit with the energy. Enter into meditation or take a soothing bath with pink himalayan bath salts. You can even add your crystals to the bath water to infuse them with this energy and cleanse them.
You can create your own ritual with your candle as well. Create an alter and add offerings such as plants, seeds for sewing, crystals, salt, herbs, food etc... Write out wishes or intentions on paper and place under the candle while it burns. Spread out tarot or oracle cards on your alter to give yourself an inspiring reading. Have fun with your ritual and watch as the blessings pour in.
