The Year of the Dragon Bowl

The year of the Dragon is upon us, specifically- the Wood Dragon! We made this candle to be sure you feel the power of the dragon when you breathe in a spiritual blend of Dragon's Blood and Sandalwood,  invoking a potent, warm, rich heady blend of sweet, spicy, and earthy notes infused with sandalwood, cedarwood, orange, clove, and patchouli essential oils. 

Take a deep breath and call in the energy of the Wood Dragon. 

After your candle has burned down, soy is an easy clean out because of how soft it is. You can stick the bowl in the freezer and easily scrape off any left over wax. Or you can use a blower dryer to warm the wax. Use a paper towel with a drip of olive oil and clean out the bowl.  Once this is done, wash the bowl well and make yourself a little money bowl.

Set your intention to match the energy of the dragon.  The Chinese Horoscope for 2024 predicts a prosperous year for the dragon, representing authority, prosperity, and good fortune. Wood Dragon year 2024 brings evolution, improvement, and abundance. 

Add-

• Rice – rice is symbolic of wealth and good fortune. 
• Cinnamon sticks or powder – attracts abundance. 
• Money – any amount, coins or bills just ensure your intention is set and clear to manifest more! 
• Candle – if possible, use a green or gold candle, but if you don’t have one, a white one will do.
• Use crystals that attract wealth, such as: Pyrite, Citrine, Malachite, Green Aventurine, Carnelian, Emerald, Bloodstone, Moss Agate, etc.  
• Bay leaf  

Next-

1. Cleanse the vessel of your choice using natural incense. Copal is my personal favorite. 
2. Keep your intention in mind throughout the process, repeating it aloud or in your head. 
3. Pour the rice into your bowl, ensuring the base is completely covered. 
4. Place your cinnamon sticks in the rice. If you are using cinnamon powder, you can sprinkle it over the rice.  
5. Add your money atop.
6. Place your chosen crystals around the candle. 
7. On your bay leaf, write what you would like to attract to solidify your intention. For example, you could write: “I attract wealth and prosperity” and place the bay leaf in the bowl.  You can leave the bay leaf as is for general abundance and prosperity in your every day life, or use a sharpie to write what abundant and prosperous manifestation you are working towards. 
8. Lastly, light your candle, and hold into your intention.
