Anyone who knows me knows about the love affair I have with Saint candles.  No, I’m not Catholic and no, I don’t practice any habitual witchery (shouts to miss.summer), but something about lighting a Saint candle gives me peace.  I’m such a fan in fact, that I always have one burning inside my fireplace and I also light several every week at my club night. 

Every time I light a candle, whether it be a Saint or otherwise, I make a note to light it for a reason and with an intention.  I’ll say to myself “I’m lighting this candle for peace of mind”, and while it burns, I trust that peace of mind is manifesting itself for me by way of the flame.  Sound creepy to you?  It’s not, I swear.  It’s a lot like the blog I posted where I discussed the importance of writing on the mirror.  It’s about intention and training your mind to cement positive messages instead of negative ones with every action you take.

I make a monthly pilgrimage to Food City for my Saints (they have an awesome selection, plus they have plain colored glass ones, too) and usually go through a candle every four or so days.  I light them for protection, to manifest love, in honor of someone else, or to help create prosperity in some fashion.

There’s not a lot of things that you can light up these days without getting cancer, going to jail or losing your teeth.  That being said, give a Saint a chance.  It’s safe, I promise*.
