Candle of the Year 2024 — Strength, Protection & New Beginnings

This is not just a candle — it is a ritual object for the entire year. Created together with astrologer Palmyra Kelertienė, the Candle of the Year 2024 carries mango, oriental spices, and agarwood into a warm, grounding fragrance that builds inner strength, protects your energy, and opens the path to personal success. The surface is engraved with the most powerful symbols of 2024: the Sun (Star of Magicians), the Green Wooden Dragon (Chinese astrology), the Swan (Zoroastrian calendar), and the runes of the old Futhark. In the box: one hand-poured soy wax candle with a cotton-linen wick, a detailed description of the 2024 symbols, aromatherapy notes, and a ritual card with a meditation and affirmation practice.

The Symbols of 2024

According to the Star of Magicians, 2024 is ruled by the Sun — a year of visibility, personal power, and the courage to step forward. In Chinese astrology, the Green Wooden Dragon brings creative force, ambition, and transformation. In the ancient Aryan (Zoroastrian) calendar, the Swan is the symbol of protection, grace, and spiritual clarity. Together with the runes of old Futhark engraved on the candle's surface, these totems form a complete protective and empowering field for the year ahead. Light this candle on the traditional New Year, the Chinese New Year, or Nowruz — and let the symbols work through the entire year.

Mango

One of the oldest cultivated plants in human history — used entirely, from wood to fruit to butter. Mango leaves adorn temples across Southern Asia, and its fruit is offered to gods in ritual practice. In magical tradition, mango is used for love magic, for revealing hidden talents and abilities, and for protection from negative energetic influence. In this blend, it brings warmth, sweetness, and a sense of sacred purpose.

Oriental Spices

A carefully balanced blend of clove, coriander, fennel, anise, and saffron. Each spice carries its own energy — together they form a chord that strengthens the energy field, harmonizes the atmosphere, and spreads a feeling of safety and tranquility. Like different tones that make up a single note, these scents acquire new properties when combined while retaining their primal nature.

Agarwood

Mentioned in the Sanskrit Vedas, the Old Testament, and Islamic scriptures — agarwood is one of the most revered aromatic substances in human history. Called the "god-tree," it was believed to cleanse the soul and banish evil spirits. In Traditional Chinese medicine, it releases stagnant energy, warms the body, balances the mind, and supports the clarity needed to pursue and achieve meaningful goals.

How to Use

Light the candle to mark the traditional New Year, the Chinese New Year (January 2024), or Nowruz (March 2024). Use the included ritual card to guide a short meditation or affirmation practice with the engraved symbols. Return to the candle throughout the year at moments of challenge, intention-setting, or celebration. Trim the wick before each burn for a clean, even flame.
