⚗️🌿 ALCHEMY DOESN’T HAVE TO START WITH TURNING LEAD INTO GOLD.

Sometimes it starts with a plant, a jar, a little patience—and the question:

What happens when we learn how to transform what nature gives us?

That is where I want to start easing into alchemy here at Merkaba. 🔥

Historically, alchemy was far more than the fantasy version we usually hear about. It brought together early experimentation with matter, philosophy, symbolism and spiritual ideas about transformation.

And transformation is something we already understand.

🌿 Plant → preparation
🔥 Heat → extraction
💧 Liquid → carrier
🌶️ Pepper → infused oil
🌸 Herb → tea, tincture, salve or incense
🕯️ Wax → candle
🪨 Mineral → pigment, tool or symbol

The material changes.

But historically, many alchemical traditions also used those physical transformations as a way of thinking about the person doing the work.

Purify.
Separate.
Combine.
Dissolve.
Concentrate.
Transform.

Suddenly the jar becomes a pretty damn good metaphor for being human. 😂⚗️

What do we extract from our experiences?

What needs to settle?

What do we preserve?

What needs heat before it can change?

What happens when seemingly separate things are brought together with intention?

That intersection—nature, transformation, experimentation, symbolism and self-reflection—is where we're going to start exploring.

Not pretending every herbal infusion is ancient alchemy.

Not promising magic in a bottle.

Just becoming curious about one of humanity's oldest fascinations:

Can transformation of matter teach us something about transformation of self?

I think that's a rabbit hole worth crawling into. 🐇⚗️🌿🔥

💜🔮 HUGE SHOUTOUT TO MYTHIC TREASURES! 🔮💜

The Merkaba traveling toolbox is officially coming together, and a huge piece of that is thanks to our friends at Mythic Treasures. 🙏✨

We stopped in to keep building out everything we need to take Merkaba Medicinal Healing out of one space and into the community — and came away with some beautiful additions for the mobile setup. 🔥

Crystals for readings and energy work. 💎
Selenite for cleansing and sacred space. 🤍
Incense for meditation and intention. 🌿
A pendulum board for intuitive work. 🌙
And a few more pieces to help turn whatever table we land at into a little Merkaba space of its own.

That's really what this toolbox is becoming.

Not just a box of supplies — a traveling sacred space.

Something we can open at a market, studio, private event, community gathering or collaboration and say:

Pull up a chair.
Take a moment.
Let's see what you need today. 🔥🌿

Thank you, Mythic Treasures, for helping us get one step closer to taking this work on the road. Your shop continues to be an incredible resource for Rochester's spiritual community, and we're grateful to have you in ours. 💜🙏

The toolbox is packed.
The fire is lit.
Now it's time to travel. 🔥

🌶️🔥 FIRE IN THE JAR

Today’s experiment: turning some of our homegrown dried chilies into an infused chili oil—and this one has a little more intention behind it than just bringing the heat. 😉

Across different folk and spiritual traditions, chili and other hot peppers have long carried associations with fire, protection, courage, passion, purification, boundaries, and movement.

And honestly… it makes sense.

Chili doesn’t whisper.

It wakes things up. 🔥

For spiritual practice, a chili-infused oil can be incorporated symbolically into things like:

🔥 Fire work — motivation, action, momentum, transformation
🛡️ Protection & boundaries — reinforcing the energy of enough is enough
❤️ Passion & confidence — adding a little heat where life has gone cold
🌶️ Courage — stepping forward instead of shrinking backward
🕯️ Candle & ritual work — anointing appropriate ritual objects to represent fire, strength, or intention
🌿 Releasing stagnant energy — symbolically inviting movement and change

And this batch started all the way back in the garden.

Grown → harvested → dried → ground → infused into coconut oil.

Every stalk is a river. 🌿
Sometimes that river apparently breathes fire. 😂🔥🌶️

This one is an experiment for spiritual/ritual use—not a medical preparation, and concentrated chili oil can seriously irritate skin and eyes, so handle it carefully and keep it away from sensitive areas.

The garden provides more than food.

Sometimes it provides fire. 🔥

🕯️✨ MADE WITH INTENTION. MADE FOR YOU.

Our handcrafted intention candles are officially available for order through Merkaba Medicinal Healing. 🌿🔥

And these don't have to come straight off a shelf exactly as pictured.

We take custom orders.

Build a candle around the energy, intention, ritual, or atmosphere you want to create. Choose the elements that speak to you:

💎 Crystals — selected around your intention and traditional metaphysical associations
🔥 Reiki — intentional Reiki energy work incorporated into the creation process
🌿 Herbs — botanicals traditionally associated with protection, grounding, love, abundance, cleansing, peace, remembrance, and more
🎨 Colors — selected using traditional color symbolism and energetic associations
🌸 Scents — from soft and calming to bright, earthy, floral, herbal, or grounding

Mix and match them.

Maybe you want lavender tones, chamomile and amethyst for a peaceful evening ritual.

Maybe it's green, rosemary, mint and a crystal traditionally associated with abundance and growth.

Maybe you want something centered around protection, grief, love, confidence, meditation, creativity, grounding, a new beginning—or an intention entirely your own.

Or tell us what you're working toward and we can help you build the combination. 🖤

Every candle can become something personal rather than simply something that smells good.

Message us today to place your order or start designing your custom candle. 🕯️🌿

🌼💛 CHAMOMILE & YELLOW — A LITTLE POCKET OF SUNLIGHT

Another candle from our night of experimenting with scent, color, intention, and flame. 🕯️

This one paired the soft, familiar aroma of chamomile tea with yellow—and the two belong together beautifully.

🌼 Chamomile has been treasured for centuries as an herb associated with rest, comfort, peace, protection, purification, and gentle healing. Medicinally, chamomile is perhaps best known for its traditional use as a calming tea and for supporting relaxation and sleep.

💛 Yellow carries an entirely different kind of medicine in spiritual and color traditions: joy, clarity, confidence, optimism, intellect, personal power, and the return of light. It is also commonly associated with the solar plexus chakra—the energetic center connected with will, confidence, identity, and moving forward with intention.

And together?

Peace without losing your fire.

Chamomile says soften.

Yellow says shine.

The flame sits between them. 🔥

This is the kind of candle I imagine lighting during journaling, meditation, tarot, quiet morning rituals, studying, creative work—or simply at the end of a day when your mind needs somewhere softer to land.

Not every form of healing has to be dramatic.

Sometimes it looks like a warm cup of tea.

Sometimes it looks like sunlight coming through the window.

And sometimes it is simply giving yourself permission to sit beside a small flame and be still for a while. 🌼🔥

Herbal and spiritual associations are shared for traditional, educational, and reflective purposes and are not medical treatment.

🍊🔥 ORANGE & GRAPEFRUIT — BRINGING A LITTLE SUNSHINE TO THE FLAME

Round two of candle making, and this time we went bright. ☀️🕯️

Orange + grapefruit.

Citrus has such a different energy from the lavender candles we poured earlier. Where lavender invites us to soften and settle, orange and grapefruit feel like somebody opened the curtains.

In traditional spiritual and aromatic practices, citrus is often associated with joy, vitality, cleansing, abundance, confidence, creativity, and fresh beginnings.

🍊 Orange carries warmth. It’s often connected with happiness, creativity, attraction, abundance, and that little spark that gets us moving again when life has felt stagnant.

✨ Grapefruit brings brightness and renewal—often used symbolically for clearing heavy energy, encouraging optimism, sharpening intention, and creating space for something new.

🔥 Fire adds transformation.

Put them together and you get a candle that feels less like retreating inward and more like turning the lights back on.

Light it while setting intentions for a new project.

Burn it while creating, cleaning, journaling, or resetting your space.

Use it when the room—or your own energy—has felt a little too heavy.

Or light it simply because sometimes we need to intentionally invite a little damn sunshine back into the house. ☀️

And this batch was especially fun because we got to make it together—melting, blending, experimenting with color, pouring, centering wicks, and watching that incredible orange wax settle into the gold tins.

We aren't just learning how to make candles.

We're learning how scent, color, plants, intention, and flame can tell a story together.

Lavender taught us to slow down.

Orange & grapefruit are reminding us to rise. 🍊🔥

💜🕯️ LAVENDER — MORE THAN A BEAUTIFUL SCENT

Our first candle pour brought us back to one of the oldest and most beloved plants in herbal tradition: lavender. 🌿

Lavender has been used for centuries in aromatic, herbal, and spiritual traditions, and there’s a reason it continues to find its way into our homes, gardens, rituals, and nighttime routines.

💜 For wellness: Lavender’s aroma is commonly used to create a calming environment and encourage relaxation, making a lavender candle a beautiful companion for winding down, meditation, journaling, stretching, or preparing for sleep.

🌿 For spiritual practice: Lavender has traditionally been associated with peace, purification, protection, healing, clarity, and emotional balance. It can be incorporated into intention-setting, Reiki, tarot or oracle work, meditation, cleansing rituals, or simply creating a space that feels quieter and more intentional.

🔥 And then there is the flame.

Fire itself carries symbolism of transformation—taking what was and changing it into something new. Combined with lavender, lighting the candle can become a simple ritual:

Set an intention.
Light the wick.
Slow down.
Release what followed you into the room.
Allow the scent and flame to mark a moment that belongs to you.

There doesn’t always need to be an elaborate ceremony.

Sometimes ritual is simply teaching ourselves that this moment is different from the one before it.

Our lavender candles are still in the testing stage, but seeing that first soft purple wax cooling around the wick opened up an entirely new direction for what we can create through Merkaba.

Plant. Scent. Color. Flame. Intention.

Nothing exists alone. 🌿🔥

Lavender’s spiritual associations are traditional practices, and scented candles are for atmosphere and personal ritual rather than medical treatment.

🕯️🔥 THE FIRST POUR IS UNDERWAY! 🔥🕯️

Healing comes in many forms—and at Merkaba Medicinal Healing, we love exploring the different ways we can create intentional moments of comfort, grounding, reflection, and self-care.

Today, that looks like wax, fragrance, color, heat, patience…and a little experimentation. 🌿✨

Our first candle test batches are officially being made!

💜 French Lavender
🍊 Pink Grapefruit
🌿 Eucalyptus Mint
🌼 Chamomile Tea

There’s something almost meditative about the process itself. Watching solid wax slowly melt, blending scent and color, stirring everything together, and eventually turning simple ingredients into something that will provide warmth, light, and aroma in someone’s space.

And these are TEST batches—we’re learning, experimenting, documenting, burning, tweaking, and discovering what works before anything earns the Merkaba name. 🔥

Because sometimes self-care is a whole ritual.

And sometimes…

it’s simply lighting a candle, letting the room fill with a scent you love, and giving yourself permission to exist quietly for a while. 🖤🕯️

Stay tuned to see how our first pours turn out!

What scent instantly makes you feel at peace?

🕯️🌿 SOMETHING NEW IS BURNING AT MERKABA…

Today the workspace looks a little different.

Soy wax melting.
Thermometers watching the temperature.
Fragrance oils everywhere.
Colors scattered across the table.
Jars waiting for their first pour.

We talk a lot about healing coming in many forms—and we're always looking for new ways to bring different self-care practices together.

Today we're exploring scent, atmosphere, intention, and fire. 🔥

Lavender. Eucalyptus mint. Chamomile tea. Pink grapefruit. Pineapple. Pomegranate. Island scents…and we're only getting started. 👀

Some will be calming.
Some grounding.
Some bright and uplifting.
Some warm and comforting.

And because this is Merkaba, you already know we're going to experiment a little. 😉🌿

The first batches are officially underway.

🕯️ Stay tuned… something new is taking shape.

And tell us below—what scent would YOU want us to make?
