Candle magic

Candle rituals have been around for centuries. You may remember your first candle ritual when you were 2 years old on your birthday. The candles were lit and you were told to close your eyes, make a wish and blow out the candles. Candle spells are pretty much the same principle. You light the candles, maybe close your eyes while repeating a spell or that which you wish for and visualizing it coming true. It is a combination of the need or desire, and the ability to visualize the outcome. Candle burning spells and rituals are very easy to do and to have success with if they are done correctly and you truly believe. The different colors of candles each have their own symbolism. Here is a table of the colors and their meanings.

Candle spells can be very easy or complicated. It all depends on how much time you want to put into a ritual. It can be as simple as lighting a green candle and chanting... money money come to me.
It can also be very long and complicated lasting several days with the repositioning of the candles each day. 

The choice is always yours.

The first thing you want to do is get the appropriate color candles for your peticular desire. Then you need to annoint the candle with oil. Olive oil will do fine. You need to rub the candle with the oil from the middle outward to the ends. As you are doing this you need to be thinking of your desired goal. Then sit and meditate on your desire after lighting the candles, then read your spell or chant your appropriate mantra.You don't need some elaborate spell with a bunch of big words or words you don't even know how to pronounce. You can make your own spells or rituals. Think of your desire then make a simple little rhyme that tells about your desire in it. It doesn't even have to rhyme. This is all about will power, the power of positive thinking, and creative visualization.
If you can do these things then you will send those vibrations out into the universe and eventualy they will materialize.

How to make your own candles

First of all you need the following things:

Paraffin wax, or scraps of left over candles.
Crayons (for color), or candle dye.
A strand of c
andle wick.
Candle figure.
Large bowl heat-proof.
Small pot heat-proof.
Wick tabs.
Funnel. (Opt
ional, but makes it easier)
Wooden spoon. (To stir the wax with)
Wax paper or foil. (To c
atch wax drippings)
Herbs, stones, and oils. (op
tional)

Place wax inside small pot.
Place small pot in large bowl.
Fill pot with heat water until you reach half way up the outside of the can.
You can do this also on a
fire but it's more dangerous that way.
After wax and color is completely melted, turn off the heat. Remember to stir your wax every so often.
Cut off a length of wick and attach it at the bottom of your candle figure with a wick tab.
Wrap the top of the wick around a pencil and support it on top of the container.
Now is the time to add your herbs, stones, or oils if you desire.
Be sure to place wa
x paper or foil under your work area before pouring your candles. Wax is not fun to scrape off of surfaces.
Pour the wax into the candle figure.
After you have poured as many candles as you want, let them sit for 4-6 hours before attempting to remove them from the candle figure. (If you are having trouble getting the candles out of the figures, I discovered they will release easier by putting them into the freezer for approx. half an hour.
After removing the candles from the containers, wipe away the oily substance and let them sit for at least another 3-4 hours to dry.
If you have left over wax in your coffee can, allow it to cool, then put a lid on it and store it away until next time.

Have fun,
