Astatula Candle Co. is a small batch artisanal candle company created by the lovely Angela Ellis. All candles are designed and poured by Angela in Old Seminole Heights, Tampa Florida. In the shop we carry her Intention Candles and hand dipped tapers. She focuses on intentionally crafting each candle from creation to the final product. Angela and I became quick friends after meeting each other while doing markets. We connected over our love for ancient practices, the cosmos, and music. Angela is also a singer/songwriter with a talent for ephemeral sounds and mystical lyrics and a budding astrologer. People often as us what "Astatula" means... A little bit about the origins of the name Astatula from Angela herself, "Astatula is a small town located in central Florida and is said to have been Native American in name origin. There is no direct translation, but many have said it means "lake of sunbeams" or "sparkling waters". It has always been one of my favorite city names, and I love saying it out loud to myself. After starting the business, I later found out that my Great-Great Grandmother, Susan Rebecca Sellers, was one of the pioneer residents of this town and moved there just before the year 1900. She lived there until she was 92 years old and the home she and her husband built is still standing.
To me, Astatula is such a beautiful name but it is also a connection to my family and my roots. What better way to keep the past and the present alive, than with making things with our hands and old traditions.

Astatula candles are designed to provide a warm glow and a beautiful aroma to fill any room. From my heart, hands and my space to yours, with love." Angela will have a wide array of scented candles at Beltane Fest and will be giving an astrological weather report to give us an insight into what's going on in the cosmos at 4 pm. She is also hosting an Intention Candle Making workshop this Friday night at 6:30 at the shop! We still have a couple seats left so sign up asap if you're interested!

Day Glow Extracts is the child of South Florida native, Jon Irion. Jon is a steward to all who are interested in learning more about our local flora and fauna. He creates tinctures and flower nectars with the magical plant allies that surround us using traditional extraction methods. In regard to feeling the heart of a maker when you use their products, this is exactly what happens when you enjoy one of Jon's elixirs. They are truly special. Made with a combination of herbal knowledge, synchronicity, and energetic heartfelt preparation. Jon and I have become dear friends over the years and he has been working on these brews for as long as I can remember. He also just solidified his dream of having a mobile apothecary which he will be bringing to Beltane Fest, May 1st! Along with the bus, Jon will have a nice selection of his Flower Nectars and tinctures available. We are now carrying a number of these (in shop and online) if you would like to get a sneak peek before next Wednesday! Come by next Wednesday to meet the maker and get to know Jon and his elixirs. To know Jon is to love Jon. I am so thankful to have such amazing people in my life to exchange knowledge with and enjoy experiencing the wonders of this existence alongside. See you Wednesday, Day Glow!

Supporting those who have a truly heartfelt vision is very important to me and the mission of Bodhi Basics. There is an unmistakable mark on a business that is born out of pure love and passion. You can feel it when you use the product or come into the space. You can hear it in the voice of the maker or owner when you speak with them. I keep bringing this difference up not only because it is important (so important!), but to shine a light. Authenticity is being buried and becoming harder to find. This is happening in our city, the “indie” maker movement, and beyond. It breaks my heart. Yes, anyone can start a business. Yes, anyone can tread in the footsteps of those who have come before and make something that looks pretty or that works. But, to find the hidden gems that are doing the heavy lifting to be original in their creativity, to learn from ways of old and create something new... that’s where the magic is. And that is the path to having a sustainable arts community, a long lasting small business movement, etc. As a maker: follow your own originality, your own drive, your own vision. You are unique and beautiful. Share that with the world! And as a consumer: Do your research, listen to your intuition, and remember how powerful your hard earned dollar is. When you use it you use your voice. Be sure to be conscious of what you’re saying with that voice. :

I don’t mean to sound preachy or angry, I just started writing about the wonderful makers and artists who will be joining us at Beltane Fest next Wednesday and started feeling pretty passionate and fiery about how inspiring these humans are. I am so excited to celebrate with you all next week. I’ll be posting about each maker starting today and giving you more insight into what will be going down. Much love to you all. Thank you for listening. Comments welcome!

Headache or Hangover... this little roll on will do to trick. See you party animals today at Tampa @indieflea from 11-3! 🌻🐣

Cheers to the only holiday (that I know of) in which we celebrate and honor a plant. 🌿👌 Progress is real. Plants are our past and future. Happy 4:20, loves. :

It is pretty magical when a plan comes together. Our shop reset is complete and it would not have happened without these babes. Bodhi Basics has become so much more than just a skin care business or gift shop. People come here to heal, to learn, to experience life a little differently or a lot differently than before. We hold space for many different makers and artists from our community and beyond within our walls in hopes that their love-craft will be there for the right person when they need it. It’s no longer just my vision. I am just a part of the greater whole. Melanie, Avery, Christina, Jeannette, Jamie and so many others contribute their time, love, and talents to making this little company as special and unique as it is. It’s a beautiful thing to witness. Thank you and I love you guys. ♥️

Gaze into our crystal ball. Can you see into our future? If not, no worries. Here’s what is about to go down at Bodhi:
* Today: New products in shop and on website. Happy Spring Reset!
* Friday: Full Libra Moon Breathwork Workshop with @stellarshift * Sunday: Tampa Indie Flea at Armature Works
* April 26th: Intention Candle Workshop with @astatula * April 27th: Living Art Plant Mounting Workshop with @oberryssucculents * Wednesday, May 1st: BELTANE FEST!
... and in between all these special dates our new and refreshed storefront is open with all of our new products, crystals, and plants! Come by and give us a visit! Online or in store ♥️

Just a reminder that we are closing today at 3 pm to get the shop stripped and re-birthed for Thursday! Stay tuned to our stories for sneak peeks 👀

This Wednesday (aka tomorrow) we will be closing down the shop at 3 pm to get our shelves prepped and ready for our Spring Reset! New products, new vendors, new old favorites, and new sparkly gems will be gracing our shelves when we reopen Thursday. We can’t wait to show you!
