One of the simplest of magical arts which comes under the heading of natural magick is
candle burning. It is simple because it employs little ritual and few ceremonial artifacts.
The theatrical props of candle magick can be purchased at any department store and its
rituals can be practiced in any sitting room or bedroom.
Most of us have performed our first act of candle magick by the time we are two years old.
Blowing out the tiny candles on our first birthday cake and making a wish is pure magic.
This childhood custom is based on the three magickal principals of concentration, will power
and visualization. In simple terms, the child who wants his wish to come true has to
concentrate (blow out the candles), visualize the end result (make a wish) and hope
that it will come true (will power).
The size and shape of the candles you use is unimportant, although highly decorative,
extra large, or unusually shaped candles will not be suitable as these may create distractions
when the magician wants to concentrate on the important work in hand. Most magicians
prefer to use candles of standard or uniform size if possible. Those which are sold in different
colors for domestic use are ideal.
The candles you use for any type of magical use should be virgin, that is unused. Under no
circumstances use a candle which has already adorned a dinner table or been used as a
bedroom candle or night-light. There is a very good occult reason for not using anything but
virgin materials in magic. Vibrations picked up by secondhand materials or equipment may
disturb your workings and negate their effectiveness.
Some magicians who are artistically inclined prefer to make their own candles for ritual and
magical use. This is a very practical exercise because not only does it impregnate the candle
with your own personal vibrations, but the mere act of making your own candle is magically
potent. Specialist shops sell candle wax and molds together with wicks, perfumes, and other equipment.
The hot wax is heated until liquid and then poured into the mould through which a suitably
sized wick has already been threaded. The wax is then left to cool and once is this has occurred
the mould is removed , leaving a perfectly formed candle. Special oil-soluble dyes and perfumes
can be added to the wax before the cooling process is complete to provide suitable colors and
scents for a particular magical ritual. Craft shops which sell candlemaking supplies can also provide
do-it-yourself books explaining the technicalities of the art to the beginner
Once you have purchased or made your ritual candle it has to be oiled or 'dressed' before burning.
The purpose of dressing the candle is to establish a psychic link between it and the magician
through a primal sensory experience. By physically touching the candle during the dressing
procedure, you are charging it with our own personal vibrations and also concentrating the
desire of your magical act into the wax. The candle is becoming an extension of the magician's
mental power and life energy.
When you dress a candle for magical use, imagine that it is a psychic magnet with a North and
a South pole. Rub the oil into the candle beginning at the top or North end and work downwards
to the half-way point. Always brush in the same direction downwards. This process is then
repeated by beginning at the bottom or south end and working up to the middle.
The best type of oils to use for dressing candles are natural ones which can be obtained quite easily.
Some occult suppliers will provide candle magic oils with exotic names. If the magician does not
want to use these, he can select suitable oils or perfumes from his own sources. The oils soluble
perfumes sold by craft shops for inclusion in candles can be recommended.
the candles you use can be colored in accordance with the following magical uses:
white- spirituality and peace. red- health, energy, strength, courage, sexual potency.
pink- love affection and romance. yellow- intellectualism, imagination, memory and creativity
green- fertility, abundance, good luck and harmony blue-inspiration, occult wisdom, protection
and devotion purple Material wealth, higher psychic ability, spiritual power and idealism
silver- clairvoyance, inspiration, astral energy and intuition orange- ambition. career matters and the law.
If you wanted to use candle magic for healing, you would select a red candle to burn.
To pass an exam, burn a yellow candle, to gain esoteric knowledge burn a blue candle or for
material gain, burn a purple one. It is obvious these colors relate to the signs of the zodiac
and the planetary forces.
The simples form of candle magic is to write doesn't the objective of your ritual on a virgin
piece of paper. You can use color paper which matches the candle. Write your petition on
the paper using a magical alphabet, such as theban, Enochian, malachain, etc. As you write
down what you want to accomplish through candle magic-- a new job, healing for a friend,
a change of residence, a new love affair, etc.-- visualize your dream coming true.
Visualize the circumstances under which you might be offered a new job, imagine your
employer telling you that your salary has been increased or conjure up a vision of your
perfect love partner.
When you have completed writing down your petitio, carefully fold up the paper in a deliberately
slow fashion. Place the end of the folded paper in the candle flame and set light to it. As you do
this concentrate once more on what you want from life.
When you have completed your ritual, allow the candle to have completely burned away.
You do not need to stay with the candle after the ritual, but make sure that is safe and that
red-hot wax will not cause damage or fire. Never re-use a candle which has been lit in any
magical ritual. IT should only be used in that ritual and then allowed to burn away or be
disposed of afterwards.
If you are conducting a magical ritual which involves two people (e.g. an absent healing for
a person some distance away) then the second person can be symbolically represented
during the ritual by another candle. /all you need to do is find out the subject's birth date
and burn the appropriate candle for that zodiacal sign. These are as follows.
ARIES red
TAURUS green
GEMINI yellow
CANCER silver
LEO orange
VIRGO yellow
LIBRA pink
SCORPIO red
SAGITARIUS purple
CAPRICORN black
AQUARIUS all colors
PISCES mauve

Skull Candle Magic
In fact, a skull witch could practice no more than a candle. A candle is an autonomous system of magic, whether the element of fire, it also contains three other key elements of the skull, Magic: The earth is represented by the unburned candle wax, air is the smoke, fire and water fire melted the wax. This creates Akasha, or spirit. For most spells, but should have a skull, a witch or two altar candles in white, cream or natural wax. A single central candle for times of quiet meditation can be good, but more focused rituals witch skull may prefer to light a candle, put the skull on the right spirit, and another on the polarization Spirit skull on the left side of the altar.
Tools and raw materials that witches wanted to use the skull, such as salt - which represents the earth in the north, can be assigned mainly on four sides and all the symbols between and in front of them.
This will be the first candle in each ritual, either before or immediately after casting a circle. I prefer the first to avoid a beginning and an intensification of the skull and Magic, an empty circle casting light mark, but there are no fixed rules.
There is some debate about whether a witch or witch skull taken from a candle, skull will not bite burn completely removed. The act of blowing a candle itself is a magical release of energy, instead of holding the light to a quencher, a witch skull can be sent to all who need them. This is an excellent way to release and directing force at the end of a ritual.
When a witch, skull candles, buys two or three wicks, a new one can be lit each day in a ritual of three days. Other candles may need up to seven tow, when a witch skull a lot of power, a witch, skull, can all the wicks during a ritual light. Candles differ significantly in their burning times - the best quality products can report the number of hours, but with practice, when a witch skull can always use the same kind of candles, a witch, skull, to assess, take as much.
Then a witch skull may be chosen that fits the occasion - whether it is up to the end of the evening at dusk, or a ritual that is up to 12 hours for a night guard candle burned, for example, on one of the solstices.
Professionals strict Skull Ritual Magic say that a witch skull should never use a lit candle, is a ritual or other purposes and should not be used in this paper for lighting of households. However, because the candles are so expensive and a witch skull Magic performance will be positive, there is no reason why the candle ceremony, adapted for everyday use. Candles of harmony and healing spells in quiet areas of the apartment are used, and candles for energy and success working in fields or study.
Should be left on the other side, skull candles, Magic, burn and bury the rest of the wax removed, or used candles to be placed in an environmentally friendly manner. A witch skull, if they so wish, witch head, place the wax to remove a metal plate with a symbol of what a witch skull would like to remove from your life engraved and to bury them.
For both magic and ritual magic wax skulls for informal and meditations, a witch skull will need a supply of candles in a variety of colors. I want to list here astrological concepts, the concepts of magical colors and elemental correspondences, so even if a witch is in Skull Magic new witch can immediately start working. When a witch skull is an experienced practitioner, some of the ideas may suggest new avenues for personal and coven

White Candle Spell for Blessing
Get a white candle-either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the gender of the person you want to bless.
Carve the person's full name on the candle, then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil.
For more power, you may place a name-paper of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the saucer.
Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings. As you light it each day, say this
[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you\
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way
If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.
Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.
They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day-or once a week, on Sundays -- for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.
If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of oil into the "well" or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.

Candle Magic Sorita
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
From above to below
Flows the pattern of perfection
From desire to manifestation
Flows the pattern of Magick
From within to without
Flows the pattern of my will
Candle magick is probably one of the simplest forms of magick to get started with. You need nothing but the candle and fire to light it with. Candle magick can also be seen to be complete within itself, as the body of the candle is made up from the elements of Earth, Air and Water. To complete you need fire and spirit. Fire is easy, and Spirit can be represented by the wick of the candle, as the wick is where the potential of the candle lies and will be unfolded with. With the candle lit, the flame of your intent will burn.
CANDLE MAGIC have been used for centuries for magick and ritual. We light candles at holidays, a practice that takes place in many different religions, cultures and traditions. Candles invoke the divine, they create a sense of ceremony and they are facinating to look at. Candles can be purchased anywhere, by anyone without anyone blinking an eye or suspecting magick and witchcraft!
Through their ability to help you to focus on your wishes they make your heart's desire come true. Try it next time you want to make something happen in your life! Below is a few simple guidelines for using candles in magick!
Unwittingly you probably performed your first act of Candle Magick when you where very young on your birthday, blowing out the candles on your cake and making a wish!
This tradition is based on the three principals of magick; being concentration, will power and visualization. You have to concentrate to blow the candles out, wish and see your dream coming true - absolute magick!
Important pointers on choosing a candle:
1.Choose a plain candle, of uniform shape. Having unusual or large candles can be distracting and is therefore not suitable for magickal use.
2.Candles used for magick should always be Virgin (unused) at the start of the ritual. Using secondhand candles or other materials in magick can have disastrous effects as they might have picked up vibrations from previous use, even if it was just on a dinner table!
3.It is a very good idea to make your own candles if they are for magickal use. It will increase the magickal potency of the candle many times.
4.It is very easy to make your own candles, simply heat the wax until liquid and pour it into a mould which is treaded with a wick. The wax should now be left to cool, after which the mould can be removed. Oils and colours can be added to the Wax for extra effects.
5.Charge your candle before using it in ritual. This can be done by annointing it with oils associated with the ritual or magick you intend on performing, or by simply touching it and charging it with your own energy.
6.Whilst charging the candle, visualixe the North and South Poles - rub the oil into the candle starting at either the North or South end and always brush in the same direction.
7.The oils used in the annointing of your candle should where possible always be natural fragrances.

Abundance Candle Spell
The energy of the flame will help draw new financial opportunities to you. Get your supplies together:
• A green candle

Use something sharp to carve the word "Wealth" along the side of the candle and then anoint the word with cinnamon and vanilla. Put the coin in the bottom of your candle holder, set the candle in over top. Light the candle and let it burn down completely.
When the candle is done, leave the wax-covered coin in a safe place to help bring money into your life.

A Candle Binding Spell
Get a large white candle, the kind that drips wax, and set it up on a tray. Affix to it a photograph or other image of the person you wish to bind. Make a ring of sea salt around it.
Make a second ring with protective herbs. Some dried rosemary from the kitchen will not break your bank. Or use sage if you like. Fill the rest of the tray with images that represent what you are binding the person from: pictures of your family, keys to your house, legal documents, whatever. If the problem is too complex for images, write what the person is bound from on slips of paper and place them around the candle.
Maybe they are gossiping and making your life a misery. Write it down and explain what you want stopped. Papyrus, or good thick paper made from cotton or linen work best for this. I have pinched the first blank page of old books at sales! Use red ink if you are angry, purple ink if you are sad. Wrap the candle and the image with black thread (use cotton tread or linen or even wool, if possible). Invoke Isis and "Linda the Binder With Linen Thread." Say out loud what you are Binding the person from.
Light the candle and leave it burn until the wax begins to drip over the thread and image. Burn it every day for a week, until the image is thick with wax. Use this as a meditation device to direct your will to Binding the person. You will have direct results if you have a just reason for this spell. You can also Bind a person from harming themselves.

Ceromancy or How To Tell Fortunes With Wax*~
To know the future by a candle's flame is covered quite adequately in this little poem from an unknown poet:
Touch a light to the little wick,
Watch it burn to the candlestick.
Study with care the little blaze;
Fortunes are told in its tiny rays.
If an unseen power makes it weak and low,
For you it foretells a tale of woe.
If that same power makes a blaze bright and healthy,
You'll be happy and wise, be good and wealthy.
For those who wish to pursue ceromancy, which is divination from forms produced by dropping melted wax in water, it is simple enough for anyone to try. Use any colour candle,though the darker hues will show up best. It takes only a bit of imagination on the part of the magician to "see" the images which emerge from a bit of hot wax allowed to drop into a bowl of cold water.

A CANDLE BINDING SPELL
Get a large white candle, the kind that drips wax, and set it up on a tray.
Affix to it a photograph or other image of the person you wish to bind.
Make a ring of sea salt around it. Make a second ring with protective herbs.
Some dried rosemary from the kitchen will not break your bank. Or use sage if you like.
Fill the rest of the tray with images that represent what you are binding the person from: pictures
of your family, keys to your house, legal documents, whatever.
If the problem is too complex for images, write what the person is bound from on slips of
paper and place them around the candle. Maybe they are gossiping and making your life
a misery. Write it down and explain what you want stopped.
Papyrus, or good thick paper made from cotton or linen work best for this.
I have pinched the first blank page of old books at sales!
Use red ink if you are angry, purple ink if you are sad.
Wrap the candle and the image with black thread (use cotton tread or linen or even wool, if possible).
Invoke Isis and "Linda the Binder With Linen Thread."
Say out loud what you are Binding the person from.
Light the candle and leave it burn until the wax begins to drip over the thread and image.
Burn it every day for a week, until the image is thick with wax.
Use this as a meditation device to direct your will to Binding the person.
You will have direct results if you have a just reason for this spell.
You can also Bind a person from harming themselves.

WHITE CANDLE SPELL FOR BLESSING
Get a white candle -- either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the
gender of the person you want to bless. Carve the person's full name on the candle,
then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil. For more power, you may place a name-paper
of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet
of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the
paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the
saucer. Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings.
As you light it each day, say this
[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way
If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a
good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.
Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.
They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day -- or once a week, on Sundays --
for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.
If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with
Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of
oil into the "well" or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.

FRIENDSHIP CANDLE SPELL
Pink Candle Good Luck/Friendship Oil Pink silk Ribbon White Silk Ribbon
Cast the Circle, Arrange altar, Invoke Goddess and God

After your candle has been anointed, you may light it. At this point you may call out the things that
are important to you in a friend: honesty, trust, open mindedness, humor, whatever.
As you light the candle, see the flame as being the energy that burns between any two close friends.
When this is completed, take your two pieces of silk ribbon and weave them together.

While you do this, think of bringing that friend closer to you.
This binding process is reminiscent of pagan handfasting rituals.
You are binding that friend to you, making them loyal to you, a way any good friend should be.
You do not want to bind a specific person to you, as that kind of magic is harmful since is
harms the other person's free will. Only bind the idea of the perfect friend to you.

The candle's light is a beacon to bring friendship to you and another person.
When this is done, you may wish to sit and meditate on the spell that you have just cast,

been completed, then it has. Let your candle burn all the way out and release your circle,
thanking the Goddess and the God.

CANDLE RITUALS
Candle rituals have been around for centuries.
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.
White: truth, purity
Red: love, health, sex, strength
Green: money, luck, fertility
Black: discord, evil, negativity, confusion
Brown: neutrality, uncertainty, hesitation
Pink: love, morality, honor
Purple: power, business progress, ambition
Orange: attraction, stimulation
Greenish Yellow: jealousy, anger, discord
Gray: neutrality, stalemate, negativity
Light Blue: tranquility, patience, health
Dark Blue: depression, changeability
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 particular desire.
Then you need to anoint 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 eventually they will materialize.

BASIC CANDLE SPELL
Depending on your goal, you will need to choose a candle color that is appropriate for your task.
Different colors represent different things, for example, if you want to use this spell to gain money,
you choose a green candle, because green represents money (as well as other things).
If you wanted love, you would use a pink candle (or red if it's actually lust you want).
Take the candle and make 7 notches in it, all equally apart.
Using virgin olive oil, dress the candle, rubbing the oil on it from the middle to the bottom,
then the middle to the top.
Place the candle in a sturdy candle holder (preferably metal, glass may shatter) and light the candle.
Concentrate on your task while the candle burns down to the first notch.
Burn the candle each night to the next notch until it has completely burned out.
Look at any god correspondence chart on a wiccan website to see which color you
want for the different types of spells you could adapt the above basic one to.
You can also write out what you want in rhyme and burn it after saying it like an incantation.
3x3 times works well. Keep any ashes and wax and make into a ball as a Talisman or keep in
a spell box in case you wish to reverse the spell.

a spell box in case you wish to reverse the spell.

White Candle Spell for Blessing
Get a white candle-either a plain one (offertory, pillar, or taper) or a figural one in the gender of the person you want to bless.
Carve the person's full name on the candle, then dress it with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil.
For more power, you may place a name-paper of the person, or a photo, or some personal item of theirs (such as a bit of hair or a snippet of clothing) either under the candle or next to it. One easy way to do this is to place the paper or personal concerns under an overturned saucer and put the candle on top of the saucer.
Burn a portion of the candle every day for seven days, pinching it out between burnings. As you light it each day, say this
[Name], may you be blessed
May all good things come to you\
May nothing whatsoever harm you
May your heart be light
May your travels be safe
May your health be good
May your mind be sound
May your friendships sustain you
May you be blessed in every way
If you have a special request for this person (such as that they find a lover, get a good job, come home safely from a war, or whatever), just add it to the list.
Some people use a large pillar-type candle and keep it going for longer than seven days.
They may make a habit of burning such a candle every day-or once a week, on Sundays -- for as long as their friend or relative needs help, even doing so for months at a time.
If the candle is large and it is to be burned in this way, it should be re-dressed with Blessing Oil or Holy Oil once a week: after the initial dressing, you can drop a tiny bit of oil into the "well" or hole in such a large candle just before lighting it each time.

Exorcism/Cleansing Spell for a Home
Take a large bowl of salt and sprinkle a pinch or two over the exterior doorways and windowsills of your home. Make certain you get each and every one.
Choose the room that has the strongest negative feel to it. Light a white candle. In a large fire proof bowl combine the following:
1 tablespoon powdered garlic,1 tablespoon peppermint, 1 tablespoon ground clove, 1 tablespoon dried/powdered thistle, handful or two of sweetgrass, sage or dried oak leaves
Carefully light the mixture so that it smolders, giving off an aromatic smoke. Leaving the candle lit, carry the bowl in to each room and repeat the following:
In the name of the Eternal Lady and Lord I bid thee part.
I consecrate and clear this space.
Let nothing but joy linger here.
When you have done each room, return to the first, set the bowl beside the candle and wait for the remaining mixture to burn out. Take the ash outside and sprinkle it over the grass/flowerbed/etc, thereby returning it to the Mother.
