13 ways to make your own loaded dried flower and crystal candles

January 20, 2020 by Shellie Wilson

This candle making roundup is all about what I like to call “loaded” candles.  Remember the loaded milkshakes where everything was thrown on top of the glass to create an ascetically appealing top to your milkshake?

Candles have long been a staple in homes around the world, providing warmth, comfort, and ambiance to any room. But why settle for ordinary candles when you can make your own unique creations that are loaded with dried flowers and crystals? In this roundup, we’ll explore 13 different ways to make your own loaded dried flower and crystal candles.

Whether you’re a seasoned candle maker or just starting out, there’s something for everyone in this collection. From simple soy wax candles with dried lavender and rose petals to more complex creations with amethyst crystals and wildflowers, these tutorials will guide you through each step of the process.

Not only are these candles beautiful and fragrant, but they also offer a range of benefits thanks to the natural properties of the dried flowers and crystals. Lavender is known for its calming and relaxing properties, while rose petals can help to boost mood and reduce anxiety. Amethyst, on the other hand, is believed to promote tranquility and spiritual awareness.

So if you’re ready to elevate your candle-making game and create your own unique loaded dried flower and crystal candles, read on and get inspired. These tutorials are perfect for anyone looking to add a touch of natural beauty and positive energy to their home, or to make heartfelt and meaningful gifts for friends and loved ones.

Loaded candles, also known as magical candles, have become increasingly popular in the spiritual world of healing crystals. These candles are made by infusing dried flowers and crystals into the wax, creating a beautiful and unique visual display as the candle burns.

But these candles are more than just a decorative item. They are believed to have powerful properties that can promote healing and spiritual growth. Each crystal and flower has its own energy and meaning, and when combined with the soothing glow of a candle, they create a powerful tool for meditation, ritual, and self-care.

Many people use loaded candles in their spiritual practices to enhance their intentions and promote positive energy. For example, a candle infused with amethyst crystals and lavender flowers may be used to promote relaxation and restful sleep, while a candle with rose quartz crystals and rose petals may be used to attract love and enhance relationships.

Crystals have been used for centuries for their healing and meditation properties. They are believed to have unique vibrations that can help balance and align the body’s energy, promoting physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness. If you’re interested in exploring the world of crystal healing, there are many ways to incorporate crystals into your daily routine. You can carry them in your pocket, wear them as jewelry, or even use them in meditation.

Another popular practice is astrology, which uses the positions of the stars and planets at the time of your birth to provide insight into your personality, relationships, and life path. Many people find comfort and guidance in their horoscopes, which can offer daily, weekly, or monthly readings based on your zodiac sign.

If you’re interested in exploring both crystal healing and astrology, you might be wondering where to start. One fun and free option is to try a horoscope reading that incorporates crystals. These readings can offer personalized guidance and insight based on your zodiac sign and the properties of specific crystals.

There are many websites and apps that offer free horoscope readings with crystal recommendations, so you can experiment and find the combination that works best for you. Some sites even offer personalized readings based on your birth chart and specific areas of focus, such as love or career.

Whether you’re a skeptic or a believer, exploring the world of crystals and astrology can be a fun and enlightening experience. So why not give it a try and see what insights and inspiration you can gain?
