This candle is really unique and beautiful. I didn’t notice it at first glance but when I sat down wit it to light it for the first time, I realized that there were actually 7 layers to it with powder in between each layer. I believe it’s mentioned in the write-up about that during the creation process, but I forgot about to it and it was so magical to discover it in-person. I’m curious how the magic will unfold as each layer is revealed.

The flame was illuminating, like it is communicating. It radiates a feeling of hope, of happiness, and confidence.

You might balk at the cost of TM materia, but I assure you it is worth every penny. I say this as a devoted client who has used S+S for years.
I'm leaving this review for the candle, but this goes for any materia in the series. I have the candle, oil, ink, incense, and kolonia, as well as the talisman.
I wasn't expecting to feel the psychedelic effects mentioned in the description at all as I'm usually not susceptible to that, but I absolutely felt them the second time I recited the TM prayer and worked with the materia. I prayed in my own words afterwards and felt a buzziness throughout my body, akin to what you feel when you get energy work done. It was unmistakable.
Since then, several amazing things have happened. I finally climbed out of a deep pit of trauma that had plagued me for years following the death of my husband and the near-death of my only child. I started going to the gym again, engaging with friends, and living my life after many, many years of depression. I was able to resolve a difficult situation that had plagued a relationship with a dear friend. Money has come out of the woodwork in the form of unexpected (and substantial) refunds and freebies. I even got acknowledged affectionately by my crush out of left field, which is something I didn't pray for (lol) but is certainly a nice treat!
There are other more personal matters I won't mention here that are being dealt with by the hand of the divine. This is all to say that this series is 100% worth it. If you're in a rough place, if you need guidance, comfort, material help - really anything - this is the materia for you. I suggest engaging with it sincerely and often. Watch your life change. Magick is real, everyone. Consider yourself among the luckiest to be privy to it right now.

A truly *illuminating* candle. An investment piece that’s so very, very worth it. I’m trying not to say much about the impact because I believe this series is a bit different for everyone, although always impacting us for our betterment.
