We created this collection of hand-made candles based on the 22 cards of the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck (Latin arcānus – mystery). These 22 cards can be interpreted as a person’s spiritual path from birth to perfection.

The candle marked with number 13 of the Major Arcana – Death. The Death in the Tarot deck is not related to physical death. It is the archetype of change, transformation and metamorphosis, it marks the end of one period or quality and brings a promise of rebirth, resurrection of a higher level or quality. A person most often faces change as a great challenge or event tragedy, a disturbance of the natural flow of life, and not as an opportunity to grow and expand. That’s why the archetype of Death often seems menacing. When one grasps the necessity of constant change, the archetype of Death becomes even pleasant and inspiring. After all, the absence of change never brings any good. Even the darkest night is replaced by morning.

Included with this candle you will find one of the 22 Major Arcana cards, which, in combination with Death, may suggest how and at what level the archetype of Death manifests itself in your life. Suggested affirmations and the magical lily of the valley, lemongrass, rosemary, lavender, pine and juniper berry fragrance may help you to accept the necessity of constant change and to replace the darkest night by morning.
