A Candle for Inner Strength
Crystal Journey has been making intentional candles in Connecticut for decades, and I carry this line because the scent blends are thoughtfully matched to their purposes. The Power votive draws on clove, musk, and patchouli, a combination with deep roots in folk magic traditions that associate spice and earth with vitality and will. It’s a grounded, warm scent rather than something sharp or overwhelming.
This candle is built for moments when you need to reconnect with your own resolve. Whether you’re facing a decision that’s been sitting heavy or just want to reinforce a sense of personal direction, the Power votive gives you a quiet, focused ritual frame to work with. It isn’t about force over others. It’s about clarity and the steady kind of strength that gets things done.

How to Use the Power Soy Votive
Use this three-step ritual to focus the Power votive's energy on your personal intentions.
- Set Your Space
Find a quiet spot and place the votive on a fireproof surface. Trim the wick to 1/4 inch before the first light. Dim the lights and take a few slow breaths to settle your mind before you begin your intention work.
- State Your Intention
Hold the unlit candle in both hands. Speak your intention aloud in plain terms, something like: I am strong enough to take this next step. Keep it personal, present tense, and grounded in what you actually need right now.
- Burn and Anchor
Light the candle and sit with it for at least five minutes. Watch the flame and let the clove, musk, and patchouli scent fill the space. Return to your intention once more before you step away, then let the candle burn safely.
The Tarot Fellow Standard
I stock Crystal Journey because their production quality is consistent and their Connecticut workshop has been doing this a long time. These aren’t mass-market paraffin pours. The soy base burns cleaner, the glass cup is sturdy, and the scent throw is genuine. The Power votive ships with an affirmation card, which is a small but useful detail if you’re new to candle intention work. One practical note: the glass gets warm, so set it on a tile or ceramic dish rather than directly on wood.
