You may not want to hear it, but once you need protection, the damage has taken root and you are in crisis management. We certainly have a candle (or 5) for that and it works fast, but what if you could avoid having to spend time in recovery? What if you could avoid the attack in the first place?

How much of your magical teaching is relevant in the 21st century? How many of you can pee in a jar and put it under your front stoop for protection? Not as many as you think, so what does the 21st century witch do in such cases? They become the creator of their own magical tradition.

Ding, ding, ding, ding!!!! Thus begins our 25th year in business. It’s humbling to think of how many candles we have made and more importantly, how many lives we have touched. Over the years we have gotten life changing stories from our staff and our customers – both their lives and our lives have been changed by them.

Before you start looking for who has taken a bite out of your empowerment, or who you may have given away your power to, you may want to make sure you are not the source of your own power drain.
