If you’ve been white-knuckling your way through the chaos of the past few months, good news: Jupiter is finally packing his bags, leaving the loud verbal frat house of Gemini, and moving into Cancer—a sign that knows how to make soup, tuck you in, and remind you to call your mother. Starting on June 9, 2025, the planet of growth, abundance, and big-picture vision takes up residence in astrology’s coziest corner, and honestly? It’s about time we all got a hug from the heavens. Jupiter in Cancer isn’t about flashing the cash, chasing clout, or posting inspirational quotes next to rented Lamborghinis. No, no. This transit is all about emotional ROI. It asks: are you investing in what truly nourishes you? Is your life structured like a luxury condo but emotionally built like IKEA furniture? Because Jupiter in Cancer is here to give you the emotional Home Depot makeover you didn’t...

Is Your Aura Living on Drive-Thru Magic?

(Why Your Spiritual Health Deserves More Than a Hashtag and a Moon Water Tutorial)

Let’s stop playing. We are in the middle of a collective unraveling and spiritual burnout—planetary, personal, magical. And far too many witches, seekers, and lightworkers are trying to hold it together with aesthetic spells, trending affirmations, and whatever the algorithm served them that day.

You know us—we love a good “dark and mysterious” vibe. We’ve brewed candles for shadow work, danced with the Dark Moon, and invoked deities who don’t always come wearing halos. But let’s clear something up before anyone gets confused:

The “Dark Enlightenment” that’s floating around online? Yeah… that’s not one of our candles. It’s not even a spell. It’s a political philosophy—and not the empowering, change-the-world kind. It’s the “let’s throw democracy out with the bathwater” kind.

So here’s a friendly PSA for our community of magic-makers, mystics, and conscious creators: just because it sounds witchy doesn’t mean it’s aligned with your soul.

What Even Is the "Dark Enlightenment"?

light it up rock it out

  Life has a way of throwing us into the deep end when we least expect it. One day, you’re gliding through life with a smug little “I’ve got this” attitude, and the next, you’re staring at your ceiling at 3 AM wondering if Mercury is in retrograde—or if you just made a series of spectacularly bad decisions. Here’s the thing: magic isn’t about waiting for the universe to bail you out. It’s about stepping up, lighting a damn candle, and making some energy work in your favor. That’s where Coventry candles come in—crafted with intention and a little extra push from the unseen forces that keep the world spinning. Pair them with the right crystals, and suddenly, you’re not just hoping for a better outcome; you’re actively calling it in. So, whether you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just in need of a little “please let things go right today” moment,...

Stop blaming the universe sm

Stop Blaming the Universe: The Real Work of Magic What if I told you magic wasn’t about celestial whims or cosmic favoritism? That the universe isn’t a vending machine, ready to dispense your every wish with the right combination of words and herbs? The truth is, magic isn’t about luck—it’s about learning, self-discovery, and practice. Yes, practice. Lots of it. Spells don’t succeed—or fail—because the universe is stingy. They succeed when you’ve aligned your intention, clarified your desires, and honed your craft. And when they fail? That’s where the juicy part begins. It’s not a rejection; it’s an invitation to look deeper, refine your magic, and uncover the lessons waiting for you. Magic isn’t an act of desperation or blind hope—it’s a process of growth. It’s about peeling back the layers of your need, facing your fears, and building the skill to craft spells that truly work. Let’s explore how to...

is candle magic evil

Let’s start with the big question: Is candle magic evil? It’s one of those questions that makes me smile, mostly because it reveals just how much mystery and misunderstanding still surrounds magic. So, let’s sit down, grab a candle (preferably a Coventry one), and unpack this idea together. Spoiler alert: the answer might surprise you.   The Roots of the Fear Let’s take a quick walk through history. For centuries, anything outside of the dominant religious or cultural norms was labeled as “evil.” If it didn’t fit within the sanctioned belief system, it was shunned or demonized. Magic, being an empowering practice that often bypassed institutional authority, landed squarely in the crosshairs. Think about it: candle magic is deeply personal. It’s about you taking control of your energy and intentions, and that’s powerful stuff. Historically, anything that put power back into the hands of the individual made those in control a...
