Mercury Retrograde Protection Candle

Ever feel like the universe is conspiring against you? Maybe you just missed your train by a second, or your computer won’t stop crashing, or you’re just inexplicably out of your usual groove. Could be bad luck—or maybe Mercury was in retrograde (i.e., appeared to be moving in a backwards motion, which is believed to bring negative energies to the fore). Keep the bad vibes at bay with this soothing candle. Laden with stress-relieving flowers like lavender and chamomile, plus crystals like blue kyanite and quartz, it’s ready to serve when you need a quiet moment to recharge. Handmade by Rachel Glarner in Pennsylvania.
