The inspiration
stella maris
"Stella Maris," meaning "Star of the Sea" in Latin, is an ancient title given to the Virgin Mary that dates back to the early medieval period. It symbolizes Mary's role as a guiding light, leading individuals toward Christ and offering hope, protection, and spiritual direction. Over time, Stella Maris became especially associated with sailors, fishermen, and coastal communities, where churches were often dedicated in her honor as a protector of those who journeyed across the sea. In many Afro-Caribbean spiritual traditions, the Virgin Mary under the title Stella Maris is also associated with Yemayá, the revered Orisha of the ocean, motherhood, and nurturing love. Together, these traditions reflect the sea as a powerful symbol of guidance, protection, healing, and divine connection.
Our Mission
At Stella Maris Readings, our mission is to empower others through guidance, education, and spiritual tools that inspire confidence, hope, and personal growth. We strive to create a welcoming space where every individual feels seen, supported, and encouraged on their unique journey.
Our Approach
We believe every person's path is different. That's why we approach each reading, class, candle service, and handcrafted product with intention, compassion, and care. Our goal is to provide meaningful insight while encouraging self-reflection, empowerment, and informed decision-making.
Our Community
Stella Maris Readings is more than a place for spiritual services—it's a growing community built on kindness, respect, and connection. We are grateful for every person who trusts us to be part of their journey, and we're honored to celebrate milestones, offer encouragement during challenges, and continue learning and growing together.

At Stella Maris Readings, we are a close-knit family business made up of a dedicated team of three, united by our passion for helping others through faith, spirituality, and meaningful guidance. Every order is lovingly prepared, every candle service is handled with care, and every customer is treated like family. We take pride in creating handcrafted spiritual tools and providing heartfelt support to those on their journey. As a small family-run business, we are grateful for the trust our community places in us and are honored to be a part of your spiritual path.
Our candle services
At Stella Maris Readings, candle work is at the heart of what we do. Each month, we host a variety of candle and manifestation services inspired by saints' feast days, moon phases, astrological events, seasonal celebrations, and other spiritually significant moments throughout the year.
From New and Full Moon services to workings dedicated to beloved saints such as St. Expedite, St. Anthony, Mother Mary, St. Michael, and many others, every service is approached with prayer, intention, and care. Whether you are seeking open roads, protection, abundance, love, healing, or spiritual support, our candle services are thoughtfully curated to align with the energy and significance of each occasion.
Over the years, these services have become a cherished tradition within our community, bringing thousands of individuals together to set intentions, celebrate sacred moments, and manifest for their highest good.
Celebrating Four Years of Our Botanica
In our early years, beginning in 2018, we offered only a few handcrafted manifestation oils. On August 1, 2022, we officially launched our first botanica collection. Since then, our store has grown to feature more than 600 spiritual products, and we are so excited to celebrate our four-year anniversary this August 2026! From our branded oils, sprays, floor washes, spiritual rice, charms, and herbal baths to statues, soaps, jewelry, crystals, incense, and much more, there is something for every person, intention, and spiritual journey.
Our Readings
Grace is honored to provide one-on-one intuitive readings for individuals seeking guidance, clarity, and encouragement. Conducted via Zoom or Instagram Video Chat, each session is a unique opportunity to receive insight into the areas of life that matter most to you.
Clients frequently seek guidance surrounding love, relationships, career, family, finances, life purpose, and their spiritual journey. Through prayer, intuition, and years of experience, Grace strives to provide compassionate and meaningful messages intended to support and empower those she reads for.
At Stella Maris Readings, we believe that no two journeys are the same, and every reading is approached with respect, intention, and an open heart. Whether you are navigating a season of change or simply seeking reassurance, we are honored to walk alongside you on your path.
