Passion through TEACUPs: binding old with new …

All of the teacups I collect also must represent nature through floral designs, forestry, or birds. These come with the mix of soy/coconut wax due to the fact it allows a slow burn. I created a bond with my AVO as a child in my travels to Portugal every other summer and would spend my summers in my small town Coutada. My AVO each evening organize my water for my bath and once I finished my night time routines, I would join her in the kitchen where she had the fire burning and would be knitting. She would set out the tea set with boiled water, herbal tea and handmade snacks. My AVO ran a store that was attached to her farming that she did all on her own with a few employees.

I travel throughout Ontario collecting teacups that are antique and only carry certain brands and they must all be from England, Bone China. Not all bone china are antique, it needs to be connected to the royal families. Many teacups that I try to find are those that are hand-painted but it is very difficult to find and with gold trimming. I have a few but not too many! I change all of my teacups into candles that represent a theme, a spell and these are to ignite all of your magick, manifestations or rituals that you engage in.

I have always grown among homestead cooking, harvesting and creativity. It is such an honour for me to have developed many of my crafting skills from the women in my life that are such a huge gift that as a child went unseen but has been embraced through all of my life.

My passion with teacups is my ritual with my AVO they represent the old with the paths of the new world. I know we are spiritual creatures that are very much connected with our ancestors through the darkness and the lightness of those past journeys. I create my teacups during only the full moon nights as to me that evening opens the portals to our ancestors and that is when I feel most connected to create my magick among my candles. It is such magick to create your ambience to begin sipping on a tea that is created by your gardens. It is a time to reflect, journal write and manifest your creativity, self healing, manifestations, or in silence with thoughts that mystify gratitude & kindness.

My teacup candles will have floral designs, dried fruits, herbs and wax melts that represent the moon-phases or floral designs. Any item used within my teacups comes with a purpose, reason and a manifestation as all my creativity if inside OF A MESSAGE FOR YOU.

• Moon phases; ignites night magick, brings in moonlight magick to have your manifestations come to light, increases change and allows your goals to begin through bringing in new beginnings

All my creativity embraces folk witchcraft in combination of folk medicine which both go hand in hand. Witchcraft has been given a negative connotation on purpose as these were always women herbalists creating holistic change that was demonized by men in power and manipulated to see witchcraft as evil which is further from the truth. I combine my knowledge with herbs/flowers into cleansing benefits and healing benefits. I bring in my passion in helping others through providing a self love letter that is written only when these teacup candles are purchased. Each letter is individualistic and what is called to me to write. My only hope is that you receive my magick to bring peace, calmness and hope to achieve what you are looking for. I will always provide tips, magick and witches remedies!

I have shared a shadow work video that guides you into a meditation state while you heal through your darkness into lightness. This allows you to heal your CHAKRAS which allows you to be creative, embrace ancestral love, open your intuition and begin healing through what mother earth brings your way.

With Gratitude,
