Bast Egyptian Goddess of the Rising Sun and the All-Seeing Eye Ritual Candle

Bast is the Egyptian Goddess of the Rising Sun and the All-Seeing Eye. Originally depicted as a woman with a lion's head and later as a cat, she is a protector and bringer of good health. She protects households and individuals from disease and evil spirits, guards pregnant women, and protects cats.

This lilac candle is embedded with tiger eye stones, sweetgrass, and phlox flower petals. The color lilac symbolizes the union of body and soul, which creates a balance between our physical and spiritual energies. The scent combines apple, peach, grapefruit, cherry blossom, hydrangea, and vanilla. Tiger eye stones aid in harmony and balance, helping release fears and anxiety and enhance strength to get through hard times. Sweetgrass calls the spirit, and phlox unites the soul.

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 quiet, comfortable, and safe space. 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 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.
