Every now and again I get a flurry of inquiries about psychic protection. Are you teaching a class? What crystals should I carry? Which candle do I need for my situation? I was told I need a spiritual cleansing, what’s that? These questions often come from people just learning about energy.
With the fast advancement of technology this world has become a very scary place to many. Also with the breaking down of the traditional family unit more and more people are looking for resolutions of their life challenges in nontraditional ways. Spiritual businesses are a resource for answers to these issues.

There are probably as many theories on how to gather graveyard dirt as there are graves on the planet. And the truth of the matter is that the exact procedure just depends upon who you ask. For that reason, you’ll only find my personal protocol listed in the guidelines below.
Timing: It’s said that for good works, graveyard dirt should be taken within the hour before midnight, and for evil, within the hour after midnight. That’s all well and fine, but it can really pose a problem in today’s world. The reason is that most cemeteries are locked up tighter than a drum at dusk. And unless you want to open yourself up to a trespassing charge – and Gods know what else – you’d best be gathering your dirt during normal “business hours.”
That said, I usually don’t worry about what time of day I’m handling my collection. Instead, I simply tell the spirit precisely why I want the dirt and wait for permission. Yes, sometimes, permission is denied, but that’s okay, too. When that happens, I just finish my conversation, thank the spirit for chatting with me, and strike up a conversation with another of the resident dead.
The only exception is when I need to work at cross-purposes with someone else. And for that, I begin my digging at times when the hands of the clock are in direct opposition to each other, and in a position to cross-quarter its face if there were four hands instead of two. The exact times are 9:15, 12:30, 2:45, and 6:00.
Protection: Because spirits are not always the peaceable, gentle creatures we assume they are, you’ll occasionally run across one who decides to wreak havoc with your work. For this reason I always wear a necklace that I’ve charged for protection when I enter a cemetery - any sort of amulet or talisman will do if it’s charged properly – and then ask Oya for Her blessing. This keeps any ornery spirits at bay, since not even the most mischievous would dare to mess with Her!
Payment: Never enter a cemetery without at least nine dimes in your pocket. There are several reasons for this. For one thing, it’s polite to give something back in payment for the dirt you’re taking, and nine dimes is the acceptable payment. There’s also a theory that dimes cut the connection with harmful spirits, and if the dirt’s paid for in that medium, they won’t attach themselves to you or your property. In any case, I always bury the dimes where I’ve taken the dirt and I’ve never had the slightest bit of trouble.
One more thing about the dimes: Some folks insist that only Mercury dimes be used for payment, as His likeness appears on the coins and entices Him to aid in communications. While I certainly see the sense in this, these particular dimes are not easy to come by anymore. So, if you want Mercury’s help, a better solution might be to just come right out and ask Him for it.
Tools: While the most acceptable form of gathering dirt is to dig it with your hands, there’s little I abhor more than getting dirt under my nails – and there’s no way to dig by hand and keep that from happening. As a result, I’ve taken to using an old soup spoon. It’s handy, it fits right in my purse, and is easily cleaned between diggings with a baby wipe.
Some practitioners also like to use a knife for digging, as they say it cuts any connection to unsavory spirits that may be hanging around.
Storing: Some folks say it’s unlucky to bring graveyard dirt into your home, but I’ve never found that to be true. However, I do keep it sealed in zippered plastic bags, labeled with my intention, the name of its donor, and the related birth and death dates.
Why even worry about the age of the donor? Because depending on the work at hand, age may actually have a bearing on the results – especially if you intend for the related spirit to aid you in your efforts. The dirt from a child’s grave, for example, might work well for cementing a loving friendship, but wouldn’t do much good if a scorching melt-you-into-a-puddle romance was at stake. The rule of thumb here is to never use dirt from a donor that could not possibly have experienced your desired result. And proper labeling is one way of avoiding that pitfall.
One more thing. Please remember to check for earthworms before you bag the dirt, and release any that you find. I can’t say for sure that dead earthworms are unlucky, but there’s certainly no point in finding out!

We have thought a lot about why people burn our candles. What are they looking for? What do they want to come of it? We set out to interview many folks about what drives them to certain products and what motivates. The main theme we heard on repeat was all about finding time for themselves and tapping into their inner strength to achieve their dreams. It seemed to be all about self-motivation and finding balance with work, family and spirituality.
These conversations inspired Jacki to create the Power Broker line. The idea of super hero crossed her mind as they are a perfect symbol for inner strength. The Power Brokers will only be available for a short time. Whether you are looking to gain confidence, finding love or being an independent woman; these ladies are here for you!
Our newest limited edition: The Power Brokers are here! Our special pour of these powerful ladies just in time for Valentine’s Day called The Love Edition. These candles combine ideas of empowerment and self-improvement while focusing on matters of the heart and learning to love yourself.
Don't miss out on these popular candles. We make a limited quantity of these sets and they are sold on a first come first serve basis. Once they are marked sold out they are unavailable until the next year. All limited editions are subject to change based on popularity.

The Glass Container's Price is being reduced. The Glass Container Candles are slimming down their prices in October. We were able to adjust a few items that we feel will make the candle more affordable while not lowering the quality of the candles. So basically the came high end wax, same 8% essential oil same 50+ burn time, same reusable glass and you still get a box of wooden matches but at a much reduced cost. The container candles will go from $13.95 each to $9.75 each. That means that a set of 3 will now be $29.25 instead of $41.85. That's a 30% reduction! This will make the price more competitive an in line with some of the other glass candles you may already carry.
Already purchased the candles at the higher price?
Don't worry if you have already purchased the container candles. You will not be left out on this reduction. All the stores that purchased the glass container candles will be receiving a credit on their account for the difference in price. This credit does not have to go toward more container candles if you don't want. Please call us at 800-810-3837 if you have any further questions about the container candles or the credit.
The container candles will still be sold in sets of three candles for shipping purposes so the price will reflect the three container candles.
