Asclepius Candles

just amazing, I am usisng this candle while I do online consults in medical astrology and it has been a great assett to add to the sessions. I actually had an experience where I lit the candle (jut today) and had 4 or 5 bee's come into the room and cirle the candle and my desk, it was a profound energy that come with them into the room. Super excited to see what it may manifest or reveal.

Wonderful, calming, healing, big presence even without lighting it up. I enjoy having this candle in my room. I light it up at least once a month when the Moon is in Sagittarius, and as needed. Healing happens in many surprising ways.

While ordering an Asklepius candle this afternoon, I noticed that one of the accompanying photographs shows a wick being cut with scissors stamped with the word "Bolingen". This made me think of Bollingen Tower built by Carl Jung -- one of humankind's greatest healers -- in the village of Bollingen near lake Zurich.

One side of Jung's tower depicts Telesphorus, a homunculus bearing a lantern and wearing a hooded cape, alongside the inscription which says: "This is Telesphoros, who roams through the dark regions of this cosmos and glows like a star out of the depths. He points the way to the gates of the sun and to the land of dreams."

The other side of the tower shows a four-part mandala with the top quarter dedicated to Saturn, the bottom quarter to Mars, the left quarter to Sol-Jupiter, and the right quarter to Luna-Venus.

The third side is the side that faces the lake. It bears a Latin inscription quoting an alchemical text: "I am an orphan, alone; nevertheless I am found everywhere. I am one, but opposed to myself. I am youth and old man at one and the same time. I have known neither father nor mother, because I have had to be fetched out of the deep like a fish, or fell like a white stone from heaven. In woods and mountains I roam, but I am hidden in the innermost soul of man. I am mortal for everyone, yet I am not touched by the cycle of aeons."

I don't know if this is a co-incidence or if Kaitlin had visited Bollingen. In any case, to me her creations are as beautiful, deep, and healing as the work of Jung.
