Magic spell candles are often used in various forms of ritual magic and spellwork to enhance intentions, focus energy, and manifest desired outcomes. Here's a basic guide on how to use a magic spell candle:
-
Choose the Right Candle: Select a candle that corresponds to your intention or the type of spell you want to perform. Different candle colors have different associations:
- White: Purity, spirituality, healing
- Red: Love, passion, courage
- Green: Abundance, prosperity, fertility
- Blue: Peace, communication, wisdom
- Yellow: Success, confidence, creativity
- Purple: Psychic abilities, spirituality, intuition
- Black: Protection, banishing negative energy
- Pink: Romantic love, friendship
-
Prepare Your Space:
- Find a quiet, clean, and undisturbed space where you can perform your spellwork.
- Remove any distractions and clutter from your chosen area.
- You may want to set up an altar or a designated space for your candle magic.
-
Cleansing and Charging:
- Before using the candle, cleanse and consecrate it to remove any negative energies and imbue it with your intentions. You can do this by holding the candle and visualizing white or golden light cleansing it.
- State your intention clearly and imagine the energy flowing into the candle.
-
Dress the Candle:
- Dressing a candle means anointing it with oils or herbs that correspond to your intention. Use a small amount of oil or herbs and rub them onto the candle from the center outwards, with your intention in mind.
-
Carve Symbols or Words:
- Using a knife or a special carving tool, inscribe symbols, words, or phrases on the candle that represent your intention.
-
Setting the Mood:
- Light incense or smudge the space with sage or other cleansing herbs.
- Dim the lights or use candlelight to create a meditative atmosphere.
- You may want to play soft music or chant a mantra to further set the mood.
-
Light the Candle:
- When you're ready, light the candle using a match or a lighter.
- As you light it, focus on your intention and visualize it manifesting. Concentrate your energy and thoughts on the desired outcome.
-
Meditate and Focus:
- Sit quietly in front of the candle and meditate on your intention.
- Visualize your goal coming to fruition with as much detail as possible.
- Feel the emotions associated with achieving your intention.
-
Monitor the Candle:
- Let the candle burn for a specific period of time, which can vary depending on the spell. Some spells may require the candle to burn completely, while others may specify a certain amount of time.
-
Close the Ritual:
- Thank the universe, any deities or spirits you invoked, and the candle for their assistance.
- Safely extinguish the candle (using a snuffer or your fingers if necessary), but never blow it out, as this can disperse the energy.
-
Dispose of the Remains:
- If the spell required the candle to burn completely, bury the remains in your garden or dispose of them in a natural setting.
- If you used a portion of the candle, you can store it in a safe place for future use in similar spells.
Remember that magic and spellwork should be approached with respect and responsibility. Always practice within your own belief system and ethical guidelines. Additionally, it's important to note that the effectiveness of candle magic can vary from person to person, and results may not be immediate.
