Custom Animal Candles

For centuries, spells, rituals, and prayers have been used by many diverse cultures to attain higher awareness, honor saints and/or place intentions to the universe or a higher power. Spiritual & religious candles have been used for centuries as a important part of this ritual, and most incorporate candles in their ceremonies. Candles have been created to honor people of significance such as St. Patrick, divine beings, special angelic icons and of course to ones own higher power. Consider this, is there anything better than honoring the favorite animal in your life with custom candle?

~"Compassionate Lesson Plans" Launching Spring 2008. Two new stories, created from "real life experiences" are in production to launch early 2006. These easy reads come with comical illustrations and accompanying lesson plans to be used in grades 1-6. Each lesson plan will walk educators through steps which allow children of all ages to express their emotions and understanding of what they read, and to instigate their own story and illustration from a compassionate act they created in their own lives. "Midnight Calling" a true story about a rescue kittie, Horus, who spends a week on his own in the wilds of the woods, speaks of his happiness to be home. Perfect for pre-school to 2nd grade. "The Little Whale Who Left A Big Impression" is a true story about a stranded whale, and his life and passing as a result of old age. Perfect for children in grades 3-6. Books will be available at a discount for quantity orders for Title One schools and non-profit organizations and wildlife centers.

Sample writings from the story: ........Nearly three-quarters of the earth's surface is covered by water. Beneath the rhythmic surface currents and rolling shadows atop the hissing seas is a world where coral reefs, swaying vegetation and a swirling universe of luminous fish create a landscape that is uniquely beautiful. Slower moving sea creatures such as clams and sea snails, crabs, sea sponges, sea stars, anemone, and urchins, add moving, vivid color to the scenery. Squid, sharks, barracudas, moray eels, gulf flounder and other fish dash and dart about as if they have some place important to go. Sea turtles, some as old as 100 years carry their homes with them. Sea mammals - dolphins, whales, manatee, and porpoises - glide through the water, at times frolicking to the sounds of clicks, creaks and murmurs.

Far from the shoreline, you might also refer to as the "beach", in the salt waters of the Gulf of Mexico, is my home. I spend much of my time at the seaward edge of the continental shelf where the ocean floor drops sharply to an immeasurably great depth. The beauty here is like no other…..for my species relaxes in dark blues, shades of mist greens and burnt umber swirling and twirling with the ebb and flow of the currents.

I am one of an elusive species, the Dwarf Sperm Whale........

..........To my knowledge, human eyes have never beheld my dark steel gray, robust body. . .not until today. On June 2, 2002, I became stranded alone on a beach in Naples, Florida.
