Using a double boiler, slowly bring 3 cups of wax to a melting point. Add 4 drops citronella oil (keeps unwanted bugs and spirits away), 5 drops cedarwood oil (welcomes autumn sprites), 3 drops lilac oil (calms the soul and mind). Throw a handful of arnica flower, calendula flower, and rose hips into your pestle and mortar, grind until loosely you want it to be mixed and broken up not destroyed. Set aside your wax to let cool for 3 minutes, combine the food dyes until you get the desired orange/reddish color. Stir in your flower mixture, add half a cup of cedar berries and a couple of your patchouli leafs to the bottom of your jar, tuck the wix bottom under the berries to stabilize before pouring warm wax mixture. Cover the top of your jar and let chill in a cool environment for 4 hours. Clip your wix tip before use.
