Hermês was one of the twelve Olympians and the god of herds and flocks, travellers and hospitality, roads and trade, thievery and cunning, heralds and diplomacy, business and commerce, language and writing, athletic contests and gymnasiums, astronomy and astrology. In astrology, Hermês rules the Third House—the mind and the intellect. Individuals with strong Mercury placements often display a great analytical mind. They are able to make sound decisions, but as their minds are running a million miles an hour, they tend to also be distracted. Work with Hermes if you need help in sharpening your communication and wit.
 
CRYSTALS: 
🔮 TURQUOISE is a stone for finding wholeness and truth, and communicating and manifesting those qualities. It stimulates and harmonizes the Throat Chakra, making it easier to articulate and bring forth one’s deepest wisdom. Turquoise empowers those who are shy about sharing their understanding and aids in the knowledge that in speaking from the wholeness of our being, we each have something important to contribute to the collective.
🔮 CITRINE is a stone of abundance and manifestation, attracting wealth and prosperity, success, and all things good. It also encourages generosity and sharing good fortune.Citrine assists in all fast money ventures and is especially helpful in financial speculation and for commercial success. Called The Merchant’s Stone for its properties of increase in the cashbox, sparkling yellow Citrine not only assists in acquiring wealth but helps in maintaining it.
 
HERBS / FLOWERS: LAVENDER
The name Lavender comes from the Latin root lavare, which means "to wash." Lavender flowers represent purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness. Purple is the color of royalty and speaks of elegance, refinement, and luxury, too. Working with these herbs with Hermes can help embody collectedness especially during tricky negotiations or delicate conversations.

CANDLE DETAILS:
SOY CANDLES are made from soybeans, not only making them a safe and natural alternative to petroleum-based paraffin, but also renewable and biodegradable. They also don’t produce any unsightly black soot, which is not only a pain to clean but is a health hazard as well. With prolonged use, soy candles may create a fine white residue that’s nontoxic and easy to clean. Soy wax cleans off of just about any surface with a simple solution of warm, soapy water.
WOOD WICKS have a distinct crackling sound when burning. They create a relaxing ambience and they are also eco-friendly. Wood wicks create shorter and wider flame heights, which keeps them safe for use.
 
WOOD WICK CANDLE CARE:
Wood Wicks provide a more unique burning experience than a traditional cotton wick. We recommend to make sure that your first burn is always to a full melt pool (wax melted to the edge of the jar). Container candles have a ‘memory’ and if you don’t allow your candle to burn to the jar’s edge on the first burn, every subsequent burn will see the melted wax pool ‘tunnel’ down the wick rather than burn evenly out to the jar’s edge. Your wick will eventually drown in wax and will not stay lit.
