A partial Lunar eclipse visited us at the end of November and left quite a baggage to deal with. Seeking harmony and refreshing your mind in the first week of December is a must. It is believed that the blood of God Kvasir was turned into a mead of poetry. No doubt, it was desired by every god to lighten their mind. In the light of the Kvasir candle, you will be able to relieve stress and anxiety easier. Your mind previously scattered by the Moon eclipse will become more stable.
