#Weekly Witchy Challenge - Anointing Candles
Wow - oh, Wow - there are so many beautiful candles! 
I love doing the daily rituals/meditations with candles, and have only anointed and dressed a few, mainly for Sabats/Esbats. While thinking about this week’s challenge, I was with my sisters planning for our next two seasons, and I came across a grounding candle dressing in my calendar book for the month of July. For a couple weeks, been feeling too much chaos going on and difficult time focusing on work and projects, so I took this as a sign. BTW - the calendar book I have is the Llewellyn’s Witches Datebook 2023, page 93.
I gathered, from my garden, the flowers, tree roots and dirt, and I used @SilverBear’s Earth Elemental Anointing Oil with a minor personal flair of adding raw emeralds to the mix.
Because I wanted grounding with the Earth, I carved in the earth’s element symbol all over a brown candle, before dressing it with the oil and mix of garden yummies. For meditation, I played an earth energy mediation from the Moonly App., of course, I should have kept to a more private place as my Other Half was too loud making breakfast so my space and focus was off. I stopped my meditation and went back to it a little while later. Definitely refreshing.
If you are interested in @SilverBear’s elemental oils, you can find a video of it here -
@MeganB - I never thought about Dill in that way. I will have to try it.

@jan_TheGreenWitch - I will have to try the small travel candles, I wanted to pack a few when going to Italy, but didn’t do it. I will next time!
@tracyS - Love the Loki and runes, I found my Goddess prefers me to leave a nice spirit of clear rum!
@brandy20 - I love your dressings!
Happy Dressings!!
