Candle Magic

Candle magic is a form of spell casting that involves the use of candles, which are believed to symbolize the element of fire and the power of the flame to bring about change.

Here are some basic instructions on how to perform candle magic:

  1. Choose the right type of candle for your spell. Different colors of candles are associated with different types of energy and can be used for different purposes. For example, white candles are often used for purification and protection, while red candles are associated with love and passion.

  2. Gather any other tools or materials you will need for your spell, such as herbs, oils, or symbols.

  3. Cleanse and consecrate your space by smudging with sage, by using salt water, or saying a prayer.

  4. Set your intention for the spell. This can be done by stating your intention aloud, or by writing it down and placing it near the candle, or scratching a short version into the candle wax (preferred).

  5. Anoint the candle with oil, if desired. Different oils have different properties, so choose one that is appropriate for your spell.

  6. Light the candle and focus on your intention while the candle burns. Visualize your desired outcome and repeat any affirmations or incantations you have chosen to use.

  7. Allow the candle to burn down completely, or extinguish it if you need to stop the spell before the candle is fully burned.

  8. Dispose of the wax and any other materials in a way that is appropriate for your tradition, or bury it in the earth.

  9. Close the ritual by giving thanks and release the energy.

It's also important to note that candle magic is not harmful and should not be used for manipulation or harm, always practice with respect and positive intentions.
