Astral Projection and Lucid Dreaming Grimoire Spreads

Journaling and creating art are amazing meditation tools to help you focus on manifesting what you want. I have created a couple of Grimoire spreads that have helped me in my interplanetary travels.

I had been buying candles from thrift stores for years but I didn’t like the smoke that came off of them, plus they were petroleum byproducts. So, I bought some taper candle molds and made small batches of beeswax candles, scraping together the drippings I had kept over the years. The following summer I then got connected with a beeswax supplier at my local farmers market and the scale of production increased!
