Ganesha, Hindu God of Success and Overcoming Obstacles

Ganesha is a Hindu god, The Remover of Obstacles and the God of Success. Ganesha is honored throughout Indian and in Hindu cultures, at both secular and religious ceremonies. When someone launches a new business or moves into a new home, for example, the elephant-headed god is invoked to bless the venture. Ganesha is a source of inspiration to help you achieve a goal.

This spring green candle is embedded with black tourmaline stones, quince flower petals, and Vervain root. The scent is a combination of peppercorn, ginger, sandalwood, and amber. The color spring green symbolizes new growth, prosperity, and success. Black tourmaline stones both repel and protect against negative energy. Vervain adds protection against negative energy, as well as help in achieving success. Quince helps the heart align with the mind, easing inner conflict.

Meditation: Remover of Obstacles and God of Success, grant me your grace, protection, inspiration, and wisdom as I embark on my new endeavor.

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 start by creating a space that is quiet, comfortable, and safe. 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.
