How to use Ganesha to overcome obstacles

Ganesha is a part of our World Magic Set, you can find a complete world magic starter kit under Coventry Candle Sets. 

Ganesha is a candle from our World Magic Line. We represent Ganesha with an essential oil blend of date, tangerine and bergamot in a dark pink candle. He is the Lord of success and destroyer of evils and obstacles. He is also worshiped as the god of education, knowledge, wisdom and wealth.He is one of the main deities in Hinduism.

Ganesha's head symbolizes the Atman or the soul, which is the ultimate supreme reality of human existence, and his human body signifies Maya or the earthly existence of human beings. The elephant head denotes wisdom and its trunk represents Om, the sound symbol of cosmic reality. In his upper right hand Ganesha holds a goad, which helps him propel mankind forward on the eternal path and remove obstacles from the way. The noose in Ganesha's left hand is a gentle implement to capture all difficulties.

Ganesha also represents things like sacrifice, pursuit of knowledge, energy, spiritual pursuit and humility. This is some powerful energy to tap into in pursuit of conquering our own dreams and goals.   For the candle, we tap into these representations as what is needed to be worked on. Overcoming difficult and often impossible seeming obstacles.  Like many things in life, simply asking for the energy flow in the right direction is only the start of your journey, it can also lead to many other challenged to solve.  With attributes of Ganesha such as humility and sacrifice lazy or fearful sabotaged can be conquered.

May we have declared to be Detroit Motor City Hoodoo month. We have tons of amazing contributors talking about hoodoo and conjure throughout the month.  We will be sharing these blogs on here at type40sales.com and on our public social media twitter and facebook. 

One of the reasons we are celebrating the Motor City Hoodoo line, is the relaunch of the labels complete with updated text and a new lower price! The Hoodoo candles will now be the same price as the Affirmation and Wicked Witch Mojo.

What are some ways to use sage?

Sweet Grass is a part of our World Magic Set, you can find a complete world magic starter kit under Coventry Candle Sets. 

Smudging with sprays is a well known tradition. You can google any number of combinations with sage and cleansing and smudging and receive many wonderful resources on how to use it for cleansing.  The most traditional way seems to be the smudge stick and there are many resources available on how to clear your home using this process. The Sacred White Sage candle is the less smokey alternative to use sage for cleansing.

Through out the years, I have heard both Jacki and Patty talk about different reasons to cleanse the space.  Here are some that our customers have found useful over the years. (especially those just digging into this world)

1. Let’s get started-You woke up one morning and decided you are missing a spiritual connection to something.  Maybe it was just one yoga class too many or you read a book that made a thousand metaphysical light bulbs light up inside of you.  For many folks new to all this, it can be a scary thing.  Years of negative gunk and other peoples gunk clouding your spiritual path.  It could also be that your friends and loved ones may not be exactly accepting of your new focus.  They may be mocking or downright critical. Starting with Sage to clear all that out will put you in a much better place to get started.

2. Spiritual housecleaning-It is good to clean out your spiritual self along with your regular house cleansing every once in a while.  This could be especially important after a trauma or conflict that can leave you feeling emotionally and spiritually stifled. Cleanse it out and strengthen your connection.  

3. Spiritual Independence-Deciding to break away from family traditions or even to start down your own path opening yourself up to new ideas and beliefs will not always be an easy one.  Thankfully now, more than ever, there are communities to find and feel love and support.  Evan so, dealing with the those who will try to energetically block you from your breakthroughs and successes can make it a rough go.  A nice spiritual cleanse to keep yourself in a safe protected space and your eyes on your goals will help you feel the love and support from your higher power.

4. Clearing out toxic romances-Get them out physically and get them out spiritually.  A toxic person will try to out all kinds of hooks in you.  They do not often go without a fight.

5. Clearing out toxic friends-See above.  Whether it be unhealthy boundaries, jealousy or any number of bad habits a former friend might possess.  If you decided that they need to be cleared out of your life, clear them in all aspects.

6. Clear out the office of toxic employees- Again see above. Same problem different title.

7. Clearing out negative patterns in the office- Sometimes an attitude or negative thoughts can drain the productivity or creativeness of an office. Clear out the negative energy of that to bring back a productive work space.

8. Clearing an object that you have absorbing negative energies-Get that gunk out of that object so it is ready to protect you from more negative energies that may come.

Be their hero

Mother's day is just around the corner and it is a great opportunity to boost sales and bring traffic into your store.  Although it is amusing to see the panicked faces of spouses or a kid with a $5 bill apathetically buying whatever they see first in honor of their dear mother, you can be their hero and save the day with thoughtful ready-made mother's day gift. 

In honor of all mothers; and all the mothers that who built this company and run it: we created two different mother's day offering based on their favorite candles. 

Mother's Day Pamper Gift Set

We sat all the mother's in Coventry Creations down and asked them which candles would be their favorite candles to receive for mother's day.  From this information we created a mother's day display and the top four went into this kit. This gift set comes in a ready-made box which includes a card detailing the candles uses, a set of 4 candles and a box of matches.

The Mother's Pamper Kit includes:

Inner Beauty: A grapefruit and ginger blend. Replace old self-defeating thoughts with self-confidence and beauty.

Lakshmi: A sandalwood & jasmine blend to bring in prosperity.

Calming: Whether it is your chaos or the drama that others bring to your life, this combination of votives will help find your center and release the emotions that hang onto the turmoil.

Mother's Day Display Set

We sat all the mother's in Coventry Creations down and asked them which candles would be their favorite candles to receive for mother's day.  From this information we created a mother's day display. This display set comes with a point of purchase sign to draw folks right to the candles for mother's day purchases! They come with 3 each of the following: Inner Beauty, Goddess, Heart, Happiness Oil, Lakshmi, Calming and Come to Mama. You can find these sets under Coventry Candle Sets along with many other themed sets set up to promote up selling in your store. 

What is Sweet Grass for anyway?

Sweet grass can be found in North America, Europe and Asia.  Many Native American groups use sweet grass in prayer and in ceremonies for purifying.  The scent of sweet grass is attractive and pleasing and therefore attracts good and pleasing thoughts and actions. 

There are many uses for the Sweet Grass candle energetically.  It can be used to purify and bring out negative energy.  It can be used for manifesting thoughts and desires.  It can also be thought of in a way as an attraction candle, bringing positive and lovely thoughts your way.

Using the Sweet Grass candle is a great candle to burn in your home after a stressful event or if you would like to bring positive energy your way before you start need to start something  difficult of you have been avoiding.  Bring that positive energy your way!

Sweet Grass is a part of our World Magic Set, you can find a complete world magic starter kit under Coventry Candle Sets. 

Lakshmi is a candle from our line World Magic.  We represent her with a blend including sandalwood and jasmine with a lovely light purple coloring. Lakshmi is a deity from the Hindu faith that represents among other things goals and prosperity in both the physical and spiritual world.

Lakshmi is celebrated year round but in particular in October on the full moon night of Kojagari Purnima.  She is represented as a beautiful woman with a lotus typically in her hands. (the lotus representing fertility, loyalty and beauty)  She has four hands that represent the four ends of human life: dharma or righteousness, "kama" or desires, "artha" or wealth, and "moksha" or liberation from the cycle of birth and death.

She can be seen as bringing in prosperity for both the household and businesses.  Her energy is brought in through strength and fidelity.  She symbolizes success but not for those who simply expect it to come to them, success is gained by hard work, loyalty and grace.  

Using the energy of Lakshmi,  look inward to see that strength and perseverance is inside of you.  That prosperity comes to those who are willing to see through their goals from start to finish.  To have the courage to see what it will really take in order to achieve them. Meditate while burning the Lakshmi candle to break down your desires to the starting point.  Also your path to receive the abundance that Lakshmi is waiting to give to you.

Lakshmi is a part of our World Magic Set, you can find a complete world magic starter kit under Coventry Candle Sets.

Are We Really Just Love Machines?

If Valentine's Day is planed right, I can be a nice bump in sales in what can sometimes be lagging shopping months after the holidaypoolza that is Christmas time.   It is estimated that the average person is going to spend $130 on Valentine's related things up from $112 in past years. Now I know that a large portion is going to be spent on flowers, chocolates and the romantic dinner, but alternative gifts are on the rise as well. 

People are looking to ignite a passion on Valentine's day.  Make a deeper connection with someone or even celebrating deciding not to make a connection with the aforementioned someone. Sales for items like jewelry and joke gifts are up and even Valentine's themed gifts for pets are on the rise. (It is possible that my soul mate is a grumpy cat named Jimmy who likes to bite my face when I am napping)

This makes a great opportunity to capture a lost looking boyfriend looking for a nice alternative gift to roses, or a group of friends wanting to celebrate their friendship rather than finding true love this year. 

In 2014 we retired some candles that although dear in our hearts, just were not selling that well. One hole we did see though is our sales for candles like Love Spell and Aphrodite sky rocketed in late January, early February.  Knowing that we did not want to leave you stranded in this time, Jacki took to her ever creative mind and re imagined some of her favorite Love themes into super heroes just in time for Valentine's Day.  

There are 4 each of the following in the Power Broker set:

Lovespell with Heather Heartful-Brighten the room and bring love your way

Stupid Cupid with Linda Loveless-Be your own woman, self-reflection and being grateful for all the amazing things you do for others.

Red Hots with Peggy Passion-Ignite the flames of passion or rekindle romances that have cooled down.

Put a Ring on It with Rosie Ringer- Attract the right person to you and help push through fears of commitment.

This set was inspired from super heroes because they symbolize such strength and strive to always help others.  These blends are amazing and will fill you store with romantic scents.  They will make a great edition to any Valentine’s Day display.
