Writing a spiritual guidance book is far more than putting words on a page; it is a calling to share wisdom, insight, and the transformative power of your experiences. Completing your manuscript is an enormous achievement, but it is only the first milestone on a much larger journey. The real work—and the real reward—comes from bringing your book into the hands, hearts, and lives of the people who need it most.

Soy wax has become an increasingly popular choice for candle and wax melt makers, particularly those looking for a more natural and environmentally friendly alternative. It is renewable, biodegradable and burns more cleanly than many traditional waxes. However, working with soy wax can present a number of challenges, especially for beginners. Issues such as frosting, wet spots and uneven finishes are common and can be frustrating.

Handmade resin pyramids look beautiful when finished – glossy, clear, and often filled with crystals, flowers, or metallic flakes. However, behind every perfect pyramid is a long list of problems that most makers will face at some point. Working with resin is far from simple, and pyramid moulds in particular can be surprisingly difficult to master. This blog explores the most common issues that arise when making handmade resin pyramids and why they happen.

Soy candles are loved for their clean burn, subtle scent throw and eco-friendly credentials. However, to get the very best from your candle – both in terms of fragrance and longevity – a little care goes a long way. Whether you’re lighting one to unwind in the evening or to set the mood for guests, here’s how to look after your soy candle properly.

Spiritual fayres have been at the heart of our journey, helping us grow from a small beginning into a developing spiritual business rooted in intention and connection.

Life moves quickly. Jo works in a fast paced sales environment, while Louise juggles pressing deadlines in accounts. Yet amid the whirlwind of work, they are chasing a dream that truly excites them. Together, they are creating a world of creativity and inspiration: hand-poured soy candles and wax melts crafted by both of them, resin pyramids meticulously made by Jo, each shimmering with an almost magical quality, and spiritual guidance books by Louise, designed to uplift and guide.

Every handmade business has a beginning, and ours started not with wax or resin, but with words. Our journey began with the creation of spiritual guidance books, written to support those seeking clarity, balance, and a deeper connection to themselves. These books laid the foundation for everything that followed.

If you’re already familiar with soy hand-poured wax melts, you’ll know they’re far more than just pretty scented cubes. They’re a mood-setter, a comfort-bringer, and a simple pleasure that can completely transform the feel of your home. But as their popularity continues to rise, it’s worth taking a moment to appreciate why so many of us keep going back to them day after day.

People always ask me how I do it—how I manage to write spiritual guidance books that feel grounded, compassionate, and genuinely useful. I always smile, because the truth is far less glamorous than people imagine. It’s not about having limitless wisdom or perfect clarity. It’s about listening deeply, allowing the message to unfold, and trusting that what comes through is meant to help someone, somewhere.

There’s something wonderfully calming about working with soy wax. It has a soft, creamy appearance, burns cleanly, and carries fragrance in a warm, understated way. Yet behind every beautifully burning soy candle lies a thoughtful process – understanding how soy behaves, how fragrance interacts with it, and how the wick influences everything from the melt pool to the scent throw.

There’s something uniquely soothing about handmade candles. Their soft glow, carefully blended fragrances, and the craftsmanship poured into each creation make them stand out from anything you’ll find on a supermarket shelf. More than just a source of light, they bring warmth, atmosphere, and a sense of ritual into everyday life. As more people embrace mindful living, sustainability, and supporting small businesses, handmade candles—especially those made with soy wax—have become more popular than ever.
