I bought this candle after reading the description, as I was going through a very tough time in my life and felt inconsolable. I needed to connect with a comforting, motherly energy I guess. I literally prayed for the spirit to wash away the sadness and pain I felt and lead me to calmer waters. It's been a couple of months now, and I'm feeling amazing and at peace. Much calmer waters, for sure! I believe it was because I did this ritual early on in my healing process, which led me to make the right decisions to move forward in a healthy way with the right people around me.
