WitchTok is a trend that is there to stay on TikTok with 32.3 billion views under #WitchTok. If you fancy dabbling in magic this Halloween than a party suppliers company known as Ginger Ray has teamed up with real-life practising witch Emma Carney and master candle makers Flaming Crap to create their Scents of Salem candle.
The creation is designed to purify and remove toxic energy and is 100% witch approved not to mention smelling amazing. The limited edition layered candle is blended with Tongue of Toad, Dew of the Sea, Blood of Hestia and Elf Leaf which are apparently all traditional ingredients associated with healing and purity in ancient witchcraft.
If you fancy trying out some practical magic to become a #babywitch yourself, Emma has shared a spell to perform when burning the candle to elevate the ritual.
The Spell:
Light the candle and take five deep breaths. Once you have calmed your breathing, engage in some witchful thinking and begin to visualise what you wish to attract and protect in your life or what negativity you wish to banish.
Elevate the ritual:
If you wish to elevate the ritual (and make it Witchy AF ™) you can write these down on paper to burn and destroy at the end of the ritual to release the energy. Once you have set your intent, recite these powerful affirmations as the candle burns through the scents.
Scent 1: Tongue of Toad
"This space is mine, this space is clear, this space is safe. Any energy I do not permit cannot enter. This space is mine, this space is clear, this space is safe".
Emma says: “Visualise the smoke from the candle flame banishing toxicity and allowing you to find comfort in your surroundings. Try opening the windows to help the negative energy flow out!”
Scent 2: Dew of the Sea
‘I do not chase, I attract and what I attract is positive.’
Emma adds: “Take deep breaths and visualise a bright white light surrounding you. With every breath in, absorb this positive light and with every breath out, push out the negative energy. Ah, feel that release!”
Scent 3: Blood of Hestia
‘My boundaries are firm and the walls are high. The gate can open for the good.’
Emma suggests: “This is a perfect time to have a cleansing bath to wash off all negativity from the outside world. You can use lavender or chamomile oils in your bath to help promote meditation, protection and intuitive dreams.”
Scent 4: Elf Leaf
‘I am open and ready to attract and receive all the love and abundance the universe has to offer. And so it is!’
Emma ends with: “Lavender is a great way to end this ritual as it is the perfect sleep aid. Burn the candle whilst performing your bedtime routine such as skin care or meditation to encourage psychic dreams and guidance whilst you sleep.”
100% of the proceeds from the Scents of Salem candle will be donated to Women's Aid, a charity working to end domestic violence against women and children.
