Coconut Cleansing Candle
This candle’s fragrance will perfume and cleanse the room where it’s placed even when not burning.
You Will Need:
- White or brown pour-and-melt wax*
- Pure coconut extract
- Container (ideally half a coconut shell or a terra-cotta pot)
- Candle wick
Instructions:
Melt the wax according to package directions.
Stir in the coconut extract.
The quantity depends upon your taste for the fragrance: you need enough for the aroma to be clear and distinct.
Pour the melted, scented wax into a terra-cotta pot, half a coconut shell or any other safe container.
Make sure that the wick is attached safely, either by holding it in place until the wax hardens or by attaching it to a pencil laid over the top of the container.
Allow the wax to harden.
Extra Tips:
- Sage planted around your house constantly purifies the atmosphere. Different species bear different types of flowers, in varying shades. Experiment and see which pleases you most.
- For heavy-duty cleansing, burn some incense in the bathroom as you draw the bath, strategically arrange some amethyst clusters and light some white, yellow or brown candles. A coconut-scented candle is ideal as that fragrance is reputed to send most malevolent entities running for the hills. To be effective, though, it has to be real coconut, not artificial. If you can’t find one, make one yourself.
