CAROL HODGE

The Scent Of Heaven

Carol Hodge is entrepreneur, artist, designer and heart behind The Scent of Heaven founded in 2006. She is a lifelong artist who loves to create through all sorts of venues: painting on canvas, calligraphy, jewelry making and much more. For a season, she had a shop at the 1904 World’s Fair Building in downtown St. Louis, Missouri where she sold “Dive for a Pearl” with custom jewelry.

In real estate the motto is “ location, location, location” and in 1990 Carol Hodge found a great location to launch her business “Dive For A Pearl”.. To give historical background on her world fashion location we find that in April 1904, St. Louis opened its doors to the world for what was officially called the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, but was widely known as the St. Louis World’s Fair. Millions of dollars had been spent to build the 1,200-acre fairgrounds. During the eight months the fair stayed open, nearly 20 million people paid a visit. On display were marvels of technology, agriculture, art, and history, and there were amusement rides and entertainment. Decades later comes Carol Hodge and her creations to accentuate the World’s Fair Building. Her artistry breathed the heavenly scent throughout. Coupled with this creativity is a strong love of the Lord and a prophetic gifting.

Carol loves spending time with the Lord and seeking His face for answers to questions that occur to her. The Scent of Heaven was birthed in such a fashion. One day Carol was asking the Lord what Heaven smelled like. What the Lord began to show her was that The Scent of Heaven is all the fragrances, but – much like how a prism can change a single ray of light and separate it into each beam of color – when The Scent of Heaven comes to earth it is separated into multiple heavenly fragrances for us to enjoy.

The Lord has gifted Carol with an ability to blend these heavenly scents together to create little slices of heaven for us to enjoy here on earth. Both on her own and working with prophetic intercessors, Carol continues to create these heavenly scents as the Spirit reveals them – she’s birthed anointing oils and perfumed oils named His Passion, Warrior, The Promise, Wait Upon the Lord, In His Hands, Oil of Melchizedek and many more. Each one has a story, a message, and purpose.

The Creator’s Essence

The Creator’s Essence is a devotional authored by Carol Hodge; it comes from Carol’s years of study and life experiences. The Devotional is arranged alphabetically based on the anointing oils which were created by Carol for her business to express the Creator’s essence. The Creator has placed His essence in His creation and is reflected in what may be seen

(Romans 1:20-KJV - For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they

are without excuse:). The Creator’s Essence is an exciting journey through the scriptures and God’s creation.

The Creator’s Essence may be used as a Daily Devotional full of Scriptures, Inspirational Reflections and Stories or as a Reference Book for all of the oils available on The Scent of Heaven web site at the time of publication in 2013 is www.thescentofheaven.com.

Women Arise

The Women Arise series of oils was birthed from a dream/vision the Lord gave Carol in which she saw names in darkness. They started floating and as they floated by she could see names of women in the bible. Looking down she saw a row of bottles and above the bottles were the words “Women Arise.” She could see names of various women of the bible on each of the bottles with the exception of the last bottle which was blank. Carol asked the Lord, “what is her name?” (referring to the blank bottle), but the Lord didn’t respond. Weeks went by and she asked her intercessor friends to pray so she would know who the last bottle was. Suddenly, after weeks of prayer and seeking, when she asked the Lord yet again, “what is her name?” He replied, “The Dove.” Then Carol understood that The Dove represents Us the twenty first century woman with “dove’s eyes” and a heart after God. She is led by the Spirit of God. eget mauris rhoncus, sit amet varius magna pretium.
