The Magic and Power behind Candles!!

Candle burning is a sure way to manifest your goals. But the key is the color of the candle. The more specific the color, the better the results. It's very important to match your goal with colors that resonate with you. For example, If you are trying to manifest love, you would aim for a Red or Pink candle; because these colors are the symbols of love, sex, romance and fidelity. So when picking out the color of your candle keep your specific goal in mind. Candle burning has been a popular form of magic and manifestation for centuries. 

The power of including fire in magical work will never cease to be effective. Candles represent a physical goal to be attained in the physical world, lit by a flame, to appease the metaphysical assistance of spirits. Spirits, guides and ancestors to arise to our aid with a simple wish, or petition. We focus our intentions with the size, shape and color of these candles to manifest as specifically as possible. Oils and sigils are used to amplify these intentions like shooting a dart and doing our best not to miss the target.

You are probably wondering what makes them magic. All the candles are hand made and are prayed over and  charged with energy pertaining to your situation. Handmade is always better quality over anything made in a factory. It's more personal, and let's face it, more human. Our bodies and spirits all have a relationship to one another, which makes the Magick that much more powerful. 

Your intention is basically the goal that you are trying to achieve.  First, you must focus on your intentions, think of it , make a list, and visualizing in your head.  You are welcomed to carve names or words into candles or symbols that are  meaningful to you. Remember to be realistic with your request and also don't forget to be thankful and grateful. Always believe that you will attain what you ask for.  After completing your petition you will place it underneath your candle, light it, and allow it to burn for 20 to 30 minutes. After this time, you will extinguish it or snuff it out with your hand or an object; never blow it out for it will end the spell.

 Make sure you burn the candle on a heat safe surface. (WARNING: Never leave a candle burning on unattended.)

Then, you will repeat this process over a number of days; whether 3 , 7, 9, 14, or 21 days. This is called Ritual, and ritual power. The rising and setting of the Sun and the waning and waxing of the Moon are very important as it goes into your magical work. The longer the working the better the results will be. So basically the more work you put into it, the more of you will get out of it. It charges it and the spirits of these cycles will support you in it. 

This applies to the creation of ritual oils and baths, as they are very powerful methods of manifestation. These are combinations of herbs, oils, and perfumes put together to create a metaphysical energy for your focused intention. Raw stones and crystals can also assist in this process. As well as burning specific incense and the reciting of words or prayers over these items too.

Finally, once the working is complete, there are a number of things you can do with the remains. You can keep little remnants or pieces of the wax and keep them in a safe place; where you know it will not be disturbed or discovered. When disposing of wax you can leave at a crossroads and let the spirits of the cross roads continue your working once you hand it over to them. DO NOT LOOK BACK!! In this process, you are trusting them with your request. Bury around your property if applicable. If in an apartment or attached home setting, wax can be put in potted or faux plant vases. Creatively, they can be put in old shoe boxes, under or in mattresses, back of cabinets, and floorboards. Ashes are often given to the wind on a day with decent weather.

Wax and ashes that are disposed in the trash is for workings and spells regarding dispelling and banishing. So, you do not want to throw away energy from love work in the trash as it will carry it away from you instead of towards you. All of these elements put together, are a strong recipe for forming a powerful intention as well as a powerful conclusion. The Magick is in the focus, discipline, and proper disposing or execution of the work.
