‘Tis the season… of astrological havoc. While Mercury retrograde ended earlier in October (and two other planets will follow in a few weeks), there are still three planets in retrograde, and another is on the way. During this cosmically-charged chaos, it’s natural to seek clarity. And along with your journals, meditation, and moments of self-reflection, there’s another way to get some guidance from the universe: a tarot card candle.
Birthdate Co. is a company that creates custom astrology-themed gifts like candle sets, personalized books, and other gift bundles. And, following the success of their Tarot Candle Trio, Birthdate Co. released a single-version, limited-time candle just in time for the season of the witch. Available for just $38, the Tarot Candle is a welcome discount from the Tarot Trio’s $115 price. Oh, and it gives you a tarot reading, too.
No, that doesn’t mean that a magical tarot card reader will appear in the flame of your candle to tell you all about your past, present, and future — even though that would be pretty sick. Essentially, a tarot candle contains a specialty charm that represents a card from the Major Arcana deck, submerged in wax. Then, as the candle burns, the charm will reveal itself to give you a message from the universe.
If you aren’t well-versed in tarot, don’t freak out. Each Tarot Candle is equipped with a QR code on the back that explains each of the cards. The best part? The card charm is gold-plated and designed to wear as a necklace, keychain, or any other kind of decor you can think of. A tarot reading, candle, and cute piece of jewelry all in one? Sign me up.
Additionally, the Tarot Candle is made with a high-quality soy and coconut wax blend. Not only is this all-natural, but it also contributes to the candle’s 40+ burn time. So, getting to the bottom of your tarot reading can take a bit of time, but it’ll smell like bergamot, cardamom, verbena, and eucalyptus… so I’m not complainin’.
Whether you’re an astrology-enthusiast, a tarot-lover, or someone just looking for some witchy decor for the spooky season, the Birthdate Co. Tarot Candle can fill your space with a lovely scent while delivering a message from the universe that you never knew you needed.
