Aphrodite's name comes from the Greek word aphros meaning “foam".  She is known the goddess of sexual love, beauty, passion, procreation and pleasure. Because Aphroditê has an eye for beauty, she is attracted to luxurious things. She reveals the type of people you are attracted to, as well as what gives you pleasure and your expectations in relationships, particularly in money and romance. Work with Aphrodite if you need help in loving yourself in all ways.

CANDLE DETAILS:
SOY CANDLES are made from soybeans, not only making them a safe and natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffin, but also renewable and biodegradable. They also don’t produce any unsightly black soot, which is not only a pain to clean but is a health hazard as well. With prolonged use, soy candles may create a fine white residue that’s nontoxic and easy to clean. Soy wax cleans off of just about any surface with a simple solution of warm, soapy water.
WOOD WICKS have a distinct crackling sound when burning. They create a relaxing ambience and they are also eco-friendly. Wood wicks create shorter and wider flame heights, which keeps them safe for use.
 
WOOD WICK CANDLE CARE:
Wood Wicks provide a more unique burning experience than a traditional cotton wick. We recommend to make sure that your first burn is always to a full melt pool (wax melted to the edge of the jar). Container candles have a ‘memory’ and if you don’t allow your candle to burn to the jar’s edge on the first burn, every subsequent burn will see the melted wax pool ‘tunnel’ down the wick rather than burn evenly out to the jar’s edge. Your wick will eventually drown in wax and will not stay lit.
