Ganesha is the elephant-headed remover of obstacles — the seen ones and, more usefully, the unseen ones. He is called on at beginnings: a new venture, a change of career, a shift you have been circling for months.

A 16 oz hand-poured altar candle in vegetable soy and coconut wax on an organic hemp wick, topped with yellow calcite, green aventurine and hematite, with an image of Ganesha on the front and words of inspiration on the back. Unscented, no dyes, made in small batches in Colorado.

At a glance

  • 16 oz hand-poured altar candle — burn time up to 168 hours
  • Crystals: Yellow Calcite, Green Aventurine and Hematite, set into the top of the wax
  • Image of Ganesha on the front, words of inspiration on the back
  • Wax: vegetable soy and coconut blend, American-sourced, zero paraffin
  • Wick: organic beeswax-coated hemp
  • Unscented, no dyes, non-GMO, cruelty-free
  • Reusable lead-free glass tumbler
  • Hand-poured in small batches in the mountains of Colorado by Shakti SOULutions

How to use it

  • Give it a place, not a shelf. This is an altar candle — it wants a surface you return to, even if that surface is a corner of a bookshelf.
  • Trim the hemp wick to 1/4 inch every time before lighting.
  • Burn to a full melt pool on the first lighting so the wax remembers the full width of the glass. With 168 hours in the vessel, you have room to be patient.
  • Light it at the start of the thing — the new project, the difficult conversation, the practice you keep putting off. That is the moment this candle is built for.
  • Read the back. The words of inspiration are there to be read out loud, not decorated with.
  • Never leave it unattended, and keep it away from anything flammable, children and pets.

✨ Temple Tip — light it before you are ready

Obstacles are rarely the ones we name out loud. Light this one and write down the obstacle you would be embarrassed to admit to. That is the one this candle is for — and naming it is most of the work.

Questions we get asked

How long does a 16 oz altar candle last?
Up to 168 hours of burn time — roughly a week of continuous burning, or many months of one-hour sittings.
Is it scented?
No. It is perfectly unscented, with no dyes and no artificial fragrance, so it will not compete with incense, oils or resin you burn alongside it.
What is on the candle itself?
An image of Ganesha on the front and words of inspiration printed on the back, so the candle reads as an altar piece rather than a jar of wax.
Which crystals are in this one?
Yellow calcite for courage, clarity of insight and persistence; green aventurine for trust, optimism and prosperity; hematite for grounding, protection and stability.
Can I keep the glass and the crystals?
Yes. The tumbler is lead-free and made to be washed out and reused, and the crystals stay with you when the wax is gone.

Light it, name what you are beginning, and let it burn. #TempleOfDesire
