Seth (Set), Egyptian God of Storms

Seth (Set) is the Egyptian God the desert’s natural forces, which can provide as well as destroy. He was a patron god of the pharaohs, particularly Ramses the Great. Also known as the god of chaos, he is the thunder in the sky and protects the sun god Ra from the chaos serpent Apophis during the sun’s nightly travel through the underworld. He is depicted with the head of an aardvark.

This red candle is embedded with turquoise and lotus flower petals. Red is associated with Seth. The scent is Palo Santo wood, ginger, and peppercorn. Turquoise is a strengthening stone. It dissolves self-sabotage and instills inner calm. The lotus flower brings the promise of rebirth and enlightenment.

Meditation: Meditation: God of storms, help me embrace the chaos of life so that I can draw on my intrinsic resiliency to transform myself through self-discovery.

Candle magic illuminates your intention and releases it out into the universe.

My candles are infused with herbs, crystals, and a meditation script to help you focus your energy. A simple spell to use with this candle is to create a quiet, comfortable, and safe space. Visualize your intention and read the meditation as you light the candle. Stare at the flame and continue to send your intent into the light. You can sit in front of it for as long as you like. When ready, close your candle ritual with words of gratitude and a positive affirmation. Let your candle burn as much as needed, making sure you extinguish it before you leave.

Please remember that while powerful, candle magic and intention do not manifest immediate results. Whatever magical ceremony or ritual you decide to perform is simply the messenger whose purpose is to deliver your goals into the arms of the universe—nothing more. You still have to show the cosmos that you are willing to do the work needed to reach your goal.

Candle symbology

A candle embodies the five elements: earth, water, air, fire, and spirit. The wick is earth and keeps the flame constant. The wax, which transforms from a solid to a liquid and then to gas, emulates water’s transmutation properties. Oxygen, archetypal of air, is crucial for keeping the flame lit. The flame is a direct connection to fire, the element of transformation, and rebirth. The fifth element, spirit, is within us and manifests when our intention is placed into the candle and infuses it with our soul.
