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 candle wick.
Candle figure.
Large bowl heat-proof.
Small pot heat-proof.
Wick tabs.
Funnel. (Optional,
but makes
it easier)
Wooden spoon. (To
stir
the wax with)
Wax paper or foil. (To
catch wax drippings)
Herbs,
stones,
and oils.
(optional)
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 wax
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,
