Serket is an Egyptian Goddess of protection associated with the Scorpion. 

She is also associated with healing, magic, and protection, and her name means "She Who Causes the Throat to Breathe".

Serket is the one who forges the path, the one in whose footsteps we can walk in safety. Where she leads, we are protected and nurtured. And she is a leader, not a follower, but a powerful Goddess with power over magic, life and death.

Burning a Serket Candle reminds us to: Reflect our own anger and venom. Without it, we are afraid to speak out or to fight oppression and we fade into weak victims. With too much, we are blinded by aggression and act with knee-jerk reactions, striking out without thought for the consequences of our actions.

To avoid causing collateral damages through our anger and venom spiralling out of control and wreaking havoc, and instead to find balance within ourselves, we must keep the scorpions under control by learning their true names. This means, we must know the root cause of our anger and our fear in order to effectively protect ourselves, those we love and be heard without burning the ground in our attempt to be noticed, heard and respected, in order to have our needs met and be taken seriously.

OILS USED: Sandalwood & Saffron

Sandalwood calms the mind while allowing it to remain alert, so it is a preferred material during meditation and rituals. But it has spiritual significance too. As the candle burns the oil it represents the incineration of negativity to reveal the pure self.

Saffron is linked to the divine realm,  facilitating a connection between mortals and the divine. Like a conduit for spiritual energies and blessings, enabling individuals to establish a closer relationship with the sacred. Saffron’s scent and vibrant energy have healing properties, promoting well-being and balance.
