We have created this collection of handmade candles based on the 22 Major Arcana cards of the Tarot (from the Latin arcānus – mystery). These 22 cards can be interpreted as a person’s spiritual path from birth to perfection.
This candle is marked with the number 12 of the Major Arcana: The Hanged Man. This archetype represents the calm before the storm, patient waiting, and spiritual growth. When it seems like the whole world is against you, sometimes there is no need to prove your truth. You know and understand what it is, and others will understand when the time comes. The Hanged Man is a time of calm before important changes that need time to mature and must be anticipated with patience. It is the archetype of calm, waiting, spiritual growth, and preparation for changes. Do not rush, do not try to crash into the wall of stubbornness and stupidity of others.

Affirmations ( affirmatio in Latin – to declare, declaration) are positive statements that we repeat to program ourselves, consistently change our thinking and, consequently, transform our environment. Our subconscious is very susceptible to delicate and figurative phrases repeated frequently; therefore, affirmations are like positive programs that we install and run in our subconscious. Repeating affirmations helps to overcome obstacles and achieve goals that seemed impossible.
