This month we find ourselves connecting to the greater spirit. Regardless if you call it the Universe, Christ, Goddess, or Santa, you can feel the very earth holding its breath before the winter solstice. Many of us work with chakra magic, and/or color therapy, and colors have symbolism in every culture and religion.

White, or the iridescent Divine light of the Crown Chakra, Sahasrara is the energy we want to evoke with our Blissful Wisdom Altar Box. Inside this kit you will find tools specifically geared towards helping you to connect to Deity.

The crown or Sahasrara is the seventh chakra, that extends over the crown of your head. It is the seat of cosmic connectedness and we all feel this very deeply in the season leading up to Yule. Not only pagans, but our society as well is gearing up towards food drives, community minded projects and giving back.

In our Blissful Wisdom Altar Box, we have included magic to help you be at peace this season. White includes the entire color spectrum. No matter where you may feel fatigue or discomfort, white can help you create balance. It helps heal fears, fight infections, and strengthens us both magically and physically.

Now that you know what is driving this particular offering, let's get down to the details!

Included is a white satin altar cloth. Upon which you may place your white seven-day candle. The altar cloth helps give us a focus in our space, it provides a cohesive home for your tools and can help drive your intent. Candles help us connect to the fire element, which helps inspire us. This can be used for healing, prosperity, luck, love. Remember, you are a witch, and you can make white work for anything you want.

We also included a Bliss Wash. This wash with the magic of the Mother Church added to it, is specifically geared towards wiping away negativity. You can use three caps to a half gallon in a cleaning solution for your home. You can also add one full cap safely to your bath water for some personal magical upkeep. While we all are aware of the great interconnection we have with the universe and our fellows, sometimes drama arises (who has THAT relative?), and you don't need to keep it. This is the purpose of the wash; whether they be well-meaning nastiness or deliberate ill-thoughts in your direction, these are easily removed with the Bliss Wash. What better to help level out emotions and thoughts than the power of the element of water?

"I don't need any more stones," said no witch, EVER. Never fear! We have included a combination of delightful crystals and a color coordinated organza bag that you can keep on your person, at your job, on your altar, or by your bed for the ever manifesting, prosperous power of the element of Earth. Here we have the Herkimer Diamond, White Lace Agate and the ever-handy Quartz point crystal.

Herkimer Diamonds are not actually diamonds, as some of you know. They are a specific type of exceptionally clear quartz crystals found in the Mohawk River Valley of New York. Melody describes Herkimer Diamonds as an attunement diamond. This helps you not only connect with the Divine Goddess, but with yourself or others. It helps magnify the strength of other stones with it as a kind of cosmic battery. This stone can particularly help you reacquaint yourself with friends and family comfortably over the holiday season. Sometimes our own life happens, and we lose touch. Herkimer Diamonds can help reestablish our connections to avoid unwanted awkwardness around the holiday get- togethers. Know that Herkimer is a great tool for any time of year specially to power up other crystals and provide healing support to your workings.

White Lace Agate not only provides metaphysical support of agates in general, but more specifically towards alleviating depression. Sometimes it's called 'Happy Lace Agate' for this reason. This stone also helps slow things down energetically so we have a chance to catch our breath, to ground, and to make a firm connection with not only our highest good and greater self, but the universal Divine as well.

Quartz Points in this configuration are great little cleaners; they're like the handheld vacuums for our spirit! When we point it at ourselves, we draw off negative energy and replace it with positive even when the crystal is unprogrammed. I like a clean spirit, I'm sure you all enjoy clean floors (*smile*). Spiritually, quartz can be programmed to do just about anything. They take direction well and can help extend your willpower in your workings. Cosmically speaking quartz also helps us connect to the Divine consciousness. It helps support positive thinking and helps balance the light bodies of our Auric field.

No kit is complete without a little influence of air, and for this we have included a white ostrich feather for your altar. Air gives us our wisdom and intellect. It helps us plan, use diplomacy, and communicate effectively. The energy of the feather that is included can be identified as a talisman of Grace. Grace means we have the ability to hear the intent beyond the limits of mundane communication. Grace is not just for Angels, it's for all of us. It helps us effectively and effortlessly juggle all that we desire with a firm grasp of wisdom.

For fun we have included white rhinestones that you can use to stick to nail art, mirrors, phones, desks, or anywhere you need a little reminder of your connection to the divine. It is your own white light of hope, love and bliss. (Least it's not glitter folks, you CAN clean up rhinestones so much more easily!)

We have also included a lotus charm on a white ribbon. You can use this as a necklace, bracelet, talisman or however you wish. You are the witch in charge of you, after all. The Lotus was included with the intent to reflect an aspect of the ultimate lotus found in the crown chakra. Lotus for many cultures and religions represents spiritual awakening, the higher consciousness and our ability to connect it all from the very base to the glorious top that opens to the sun.

Speaking of the ultimate lotus, we have also included two temporary tattoos of the Sahasrara Chakra. Place one on your upper forehead during a mediation, or as a reminder on your hand (or before going out because it looks so cool!).

This is our Blissful Wisdom Altar Box. Each part of it was chosen with care, love and an eye towards the Crown chakra and the power of its color therapy. Order one today before they're all gone.
