Nidaba Sumerian Goddess of Learning and Writing Ritual Candle

Nidaba (also known as Nisaba) is the Sumerian Goddess of learning and writing. She is the patron of scribes. Sanctuaries to Nidaba, with attached libraries and scribal houses, existed all across Mesopotamia from c. 2000 BCE to c. 1750 BCE. Scribal school tablets often end with the phrase, 'Praise be to Nisaba!'

This light-blue candle is embedded with fluorite, mullein flowers, and angelica root. The scent is a combination of green tea, lemongrass, and cedar. The color light-blue is associated with renewal. Fluorite, the rainbow stone, is associated with heightening mental abilities and bringing mental clarity when needed. Mullein brings self-knowledge and self-empowerment. Angelica opens portals to higher communication with self.

Candle magic illuminates your intention and releases it out into the universe.

My candles are infused with herbs, crystals, and a meditation script to help you focus your energy. A simple spell to use with this candle is to start by creating a space that is quiet, comfortable, and safe. Visualize your intention and read the meditation as you light the candle. Stare at the flame and continue to send your intent into the light. You can sit in front of it for as long as you like. When ready, close your candle ritual with words of gratitude and a positive affirmation. Let your candle burn as much as needed, making sure you extinguish it before you leave.

Please remember that while powerful, candle magic and intention do not manifest immediate results. Whatever magical ceremony or ritual you decide to perform is simply the messenger whose purpose is to deliver your goals into the arms of the universe—nothing more. You still have to show the cosmos that you are willing to do the work needed to reach your goal.

Candle symbology

A candle embodies the five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and spirit. The wick is earth and keeps the flame constant. The wax, which transforms from a solid to a liquid and then to gas, emulates water’s transmutation properties. Oxygen, archetypal of air, is crucial for keeping the flame lit. The flame is a direct connection to fire, the element of transformation, and rebirth. The fifth element, spirit, is within us and manifests when our intention is placed into the candle and infuses it with our soul.
