Background:
I am free of your shit candle was created when I had a bucket dipper once entered my house. When I needed to free my personal space from this person, I began to light sage and meditate. Moments later, that person just got up and left! I didn't even need to say anything. As the smell of sage is strong, I created I am free of your shit affirm candle to elicit the same effects as sage. Why light only sage when you can have sage, palo santo, and wormwood all in one bottle?
Symbolism:
I am free of your shit.
"Fawohodie"
This Adinkra symbol called "Fawohodie”, or "independence" is a symbol of independence, freedom, and emancipation. Our ancestors didn’t only work to liberate us from the shackles of slavery; they worked to free our minds, spirits, and bodies. With the many responsibilities and obligations that we face in our daily lives, always remember that you are free. You are free to choose, change, exist, and make mistakes. With freedom comes choices. Choose to protect your energy from people and things who consume it. When obstacles strike, choose strength, resilience, and gratitude. When all is well, choose the same. At all times, choose freedom. You more than earned it!
"Fawodhodie ene obre na enam."
"Independence comes with its responsibilities."
- from Cloth As Metaphor by G.F. Kojo Arthur
