This candle is activating and gentle at the same time. I lit it during a group coaching that I lead and the ambiance was very lively, constructive and still friendly. I kept it lit during the whole session of three hours. The session took place during evening time and I could sleep well after the session, so I don’t think that it is too activating.

Received this by "mistake" and was giddy upon the bonus receipt, as my intended purchase was quickly sent after, so this really felt like a boon. It definitely brings a clear sense of confidence and stirs an assured and playful sense of purpose and possibility. It's got a fun and feisty go-getter energy to it and helps to excite you into action.

From when I made the decision to light the candle, the whoosh got me up and off my butt, and on a whirlwind decluttering, cleaning, and organizing spree. No dithering on keep this? keep that? Just cutting through the static and holding the birdseye view of getting the job done. Keeping it on the altar is actual preventative medicine, too. Something new comes in the house? Two things leave, without me even thinking about it. Incoherent detritus offers itself up to exit and I comply. Burn one!

I burned this on a day when I knew I was going to struggle to exercise. Seemed like it was just the right amount on extra fire I needed without any adverse after-effects. I really love this candle.

I have used this one time, on the Sun’s day to accomplish a specific work goal right before a vacation (who wants to work on Christmas Eve?!), and I felt such relative ease, flow, and drive. I often feel stuck with motivation /execution of these types of task (in this case, writing and simplifying a message - done better than perfect) and natally have Mars in Pisces, so pretty feminine energy. we’ll see if it continues to work so well! Stocking up on the candle just in case.

The candle, and the other two items, seem so powerful! Different than Antares but still strongly male. Antares seemed more flexible and jokesterish. This one is rock solid.

This burned a little stinky for me but also smelled like steak. Not a bad stink though. Just a pleasant man-musk char thing going on.
