🌿Waistbead General Questions
What are waistbeads used for?
Waistbeads are both adornment and intention tools. Traditionally, they’ve been worn across African cultures for body adornment, rites of passage, fertility, protection, and spiritual grounding. Today, many use them to celebrate their body, track weight changes, or connect with their divine energy.
Do waistbeads have spiritual or cultural meanings?
Yes, waistbeads hold deep symbolism. Colors and beads can represent intentions like love, abundance, healing, or protection. For many, they’re more than jewelry—they’re a reminder of inner power.
How do I measure myself for waistbeads?
Use a soft measuring tape and measure around the area where you’d like the beads to sit (waist, low belly, hips). Make sure the tape is snug but not tight.
For more details, check out the Waistbead Size Guide
Can waistbeads be worn all the time (showering, sleeping, etc.)?
Yes! Permanent tie-on waistbeads are meant to be lived in. Elastic or clasped versions can be removed as needed.
Are your waistbeads adjustable or permanent?
Both options are available. Tie-on beads are permanent until they break naturally or with extreme external force. Elastic or clasp styles give you flexibility.
What stringing material do you use — will they last?
I use durable beading cord meant to withstand daily wear for clasp options and nylon cord for permanent options. With proper care, your waistbeads can last for years.
Do you make custom waistbeads (color, crystal, intention-based designs)?
Yes! Custom orders are a favorite. I can create waistbeads designed around your chosen colors, stones, or intentions.
Just reach out before ordering on my Contact Us Page.
What should I do if my waistbeads break?
In spiritual practice, breaking can symbolize transformation or release. But if you’d like a replacement, you can reorder or contact me for a repair.
🔥Candle General Questions
What are figure candles?
Figure candles are sculpted candles shaped to embody the human form, often decorated with symbolic colors, drips, shimmer, or adornments. Beyond décor, they carry spiritual meaning—used for meditation, altar work, manifestation, or simply as bold art in your space.
Do the candles actually burn, or are they just for display?
Yes, they can burn! Many people keep them as décor, but if you choose to light yours, burn it on a fire-safe surface with a dish or tray underneath to catch wax drippings.
What type of wax and wicks do you use?
All candles are made with a natural soy wax blend for a clean burn and cotton wicks.
Will my candle look exactly like the photos?
Each candle is handmade to order, which means slight differences in color, shimmer, or drip placement will occur. This makes every piece one-of-a-kind and full of personality.
Do the colors have spiritual meanings?
Yes! Each color carries symbolic energy: red for passion & vitality, green for abundance, gold for power, white for purity, black for protection, and so on. Descriptions on each candle product page highlight these meanings.
How do I use a figure candle for meditation, ritual, or manifestation?
You can set your intention before lighting, carve symbols or words into the wax, or simply meditate with it nearby as a visual focus. Many people place them on their altar as energy amplifiers.
Can I request a custom figure candle (color, scent, piercings, shimmer, etc.)?
Absolutely. I love creating custom designs that reflect your personal energy and intention. There are two ways you can do this:
1- Go to the Custom Creation – Design Your Own Figure Candle Page to select your customizations.
2- Reach out on our Contact Us page if you would like something outside of the Custom Creations product page.
How do I safely burn my candle?
Always burn within sight, on a heat-safe surface, away from drafts, pets, and children. Trim the wick to ¼ inch before lighting for best results.
What do I do with the leftover wax?
You can reuse it in a wax melter!
