It’s that time again. Time to plan what you will add to your inventory for the upcoming holiday season. Consider adding candles to enrich the various celebrations that occur this last quarter of the year. To get you started I have listed a few celebrations that incorporate the use of candles, their date, descriptions and a few candle suggestions.

After an incredibly turbulent July, we can all breathe a sigh of relief. August is calm and there are only two difficult aspects, but there are several good ones that we can take advantage of throughout the month. Now, Leo is one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac (along with Scorpio) and pop-culture astrology sites use keywords like self-involved, attention seekers, prideful, egotistical, and narcissistic to describe the sign of the lion, and these are at times valid descriptions.

Whew! Half the year is gone! The first six months of the year has brought successes, challenges, and changes. Now it’s summer (in the Northern Hemisphere). The barbeque grill has been used for awhile now, at least it has in my house! So what do you want the rest of the year to bring you? Are you feeling stuck? Do you feel like you have entered into a routine that you can’t seem to break? Are you waiting for a change to come? Are you ready for Mercury Retrograde? Motor City HooDoo VanVan candle is what you need.

We’re going to rip the bandaid off fast. July is by far the most difficult month of the year. With the help of Coventry products and faith in yourself, you will get through it. We’ve got two powerful potent eclipses and Mercury goes retrograde.

The realest battle that we may ever endure, is the one within our own

hearts and minds. A friend recently, described her own healing process as

“a spiral”. This resonated with me. Often times, we spin around repeatedly,

revisiting old wounds and the obstacles that have been created as result

In June we transition out of earthy Taurus into airy Gemini. This is the season of the mind, communication, learning and being in the now. Gemini has been considered a flaky energy but this is simply not true.

One of the goals of Coventry is to create tools that support self-healing. In addition to our candles, oils, and sprays Jacki and Patty have written books which give us introductions and instructions for transforming our mind, body, and soul to a healthy state.

This month we plant ourselves firmly in the earth with Taurus. Taurus is mostly known for its ruler ship over money, however, there is a deeper side of Taurus that is lost in our quest for material resources and objects.

“April showers bring May flowers” they say. It’s normally muddy, grey, rainy, and the temperature is not consistent. This April weather can be tricky, especially if you live in the Midwest like I do. In some areas the month of April is a betwixt and between month; it’s not really cold, but it’s not really warm either.

Mary, our sales goddess, asked me to write an article on why Coventry Creations Candles work. I thought what a great question. We leave so much to trust and faith that we miss out on an opportunity to learn why something works.

In April, we are turned toward the mirror and given the opportunity to face our personal negativity again and decide what we want to do with it. It truly is a time for growth on many levels.

Happiness is not some great mystery. It really is a choice that we claim for

our lives. Counting our blessings and all that we have to be grateful for

daily, is something that I have found to be hugely, effective in keeping my

Lots of opportunities for personal work in March. With the Sun in Pisces, the sign of endings, this is a great month for cord cutting, letting go of dysfunctional behaviors, connecting to the past in order to heal it, and communing to the spirit world.

February is a month of many celebrations, Ground Hogs Day, Imbolc, Festival of Purification and Light. An ending of winter and a preparation time for the coming of spring. During this time of the year, there is an increase in candle use.

We poured extra batches of Happy Home Blessed Herbal candles this month because we all can’t seem to ignore what’s going on locally and nationally. The sun moving through Aquarius and Pisces is the reason. The planets want us to see the big picture and sometimes it’s not a pretty one.

The holidays are over, out of town visitors have returned home, and you are sitting in your home--energetically spent! The holidays can be so much fun, but they are filled with expectations, playing nice when you really just want to tell Aunt Susan to “shut the hell up!”.

Yep, things have changed. The time for frolicking and play makes way for responsibility and accountability. So, be an adult. Pick up after yourself, put your stuff away and get ready for 2019. There is no way you can avoid this part of life without causing yourself pain in the future.

WOW!! You did it!! You made it through another year, or maybe this was your first year in business. Perhaps you went from a brick and mortar to having a strictly online presence. Whatever your situation may be YOU DID IT and we are proud of you!!

During the month of December energies become crazy and leave me

feeling on a tilt. At least this is how I experience ‘the most wonderful time of

the year”, (hard eye-roll). Maybe, you too can relate? All of the external

busyness, challenges my daily focus on my personal goals.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!! Words are inadequate to express how grateful we are for your business. You have heard this from us before and we continue to stand by it, your success is our success. The trust that you have shown in our products has our Coventry family beaming with appreciation.
