Readers, It has occurred to me that lately I have had many, many letters regarding the time of waiting during the candle burning for candle spell work. I am not sure if it is just a sign of the times, but I thought I should reiterate and explain time and intention when setting lights for a particular candle spell. Perhaps I can address everyone’s concerns in this manner and also alleviate many others’ potential thoughts as well. First, we should address whether the candle spell is warranted or not. Burning a candle because your sister-in-law is a female dog and acts like a floozy or your neighbor parks his car in your parking space in the apartment complex is not a reason for ‘setting lights’ or burning a candle on their name on a petition paper. Save your energy and let the sister-in-law be and talk to the manager about your parking space. Real, successful candle burning spell magic is about activating changes in your life and the lives of others. It is about harnessing that energy of that pain, hurt and anger and channeling or infusing the candle, oil, herbs, sachets and any other item used in the candle spell to charge those items. Now, I am not excusing bad behavior from next door neighbors, boyfriends and the receptionist at your job – we need to call a duck a duck – but it is more that you want to have an ‘incident’ happen to them so that they will ‘wake up and get a clue’, so to speak. Of course, I will always stand by doing the ‘right’ thing, like addressing loud music at all hours of the night with management or the police and those ‘Oopsie’ missed messages that you were waiting to be delivered from Miss I -Have-No-Brain-Between-My-Ears-or-Do-I? at the front desk. Always, ALWAYS go through the correct channels, however P.C. they are, then do your candle work after the proper authorities were notified. So, with all this, how do we get ‘in the mood’ to energize our candles correctly for a successful outcome? First, take a long bath, if needed. Get the grime of the office, kids, traffic, BILLS, off your mind, chest, back and head. Soak in Epsom Salts, two cups is recommended, and lie there until the water gets COLD. Then, dress comfortably in loose clothing and set all your items, tools and oils out on your table. Sit and just open a bottle of condition oil you will use and BREATHE DEEPLY in the essential oils that will be the catalyst to your intended outcome. Carve initials in the candles, make well holes in the candle for oil to be held, write petition papers, including names, telephone numbers – WHATEVER you need to identify the ‘intended victim’ in the candle spell. Take your time in creating a candle spell, all good things take time to stew, mingle, adhere and coagulate. Oil your candles, gripping them tightly while chanting or stating your intention to them. If they are “taper” or “free standing” type of candles, roll them in sachet powder, herbs or whatever you want to ‘kick it up a notch’ for a successful candle burn. If they are the 7-day “Novena type” vigil candles in glass, anoint the top wax area. Set your flameproof dish or saucer, place all the necessary petition papers, personal items or business cards under the candle and light with INTENTION (i.e. “I, Olive Olivia Oyl, light this candle with the intention that Popeye will stop sailing the ocean blue and settle down with me and Sweet Pea.”). NOTE: You must, absolutely MUST, state your intention like you...

Today, I am going to go over step-by-step the proper method of cleaning a candle for a candle spell. Recently, I was preparing a candle for a client and encountered a few items that I may not have covered in previous posts regarding candle preparation. Here is the steps, with photos, to ensure candle spell success! First step is to clean the candle with Florida Water. You my also want to use Lemon Juice, or even a combination of using one first, such as the lemon juice (to ‘Cut and Clear’ out any negative vibes), then follow it with Florida Water (to bring in the ‘Good Spirits’). The traditional Florida Water known by most is made by Lanman and Kemp, but I picked this bottle up at our neighborhood ethnic foods store. It is made by Goya Products, which is a large manufacturer of products and foods for Caribbean cultures. Make sure to clean both inside the candle (inner glass area, wax top and wick) and also the outside glass area. As I was cleaning, I found something embedded in the wax from the factory where they were produced. I took a small, sharp pointed knife and cut out the offending stuff. This would be a good time to trim the wick to two inches. Wipe down your candle again, you can NEVER be too clean. Another thought is this, you do not know if the owner of the Botanica or Candle Shop where you purchased these candle might be pre-blessing/anointing these candle to PURPOSELY not bring success to you, so that you will return over and over to purchase candles that have been ‘tuned’ to fail! There has been more than one unscrupulous shop owner out there in the world! Now, it is time to anoint the candle with the appropriate condition oil. We are doing a “Road Opener” candle spell for our client, so the candle color matches the Road Opener Oil that we are using. You can see my table, with petition papers, photographs, my box of condition and anointing oils, various tools and shipping boxes to mail candles to clients who want to burn their candles themselves. Now it is time to evenly distribute the oil over the top of the candle, pray over it and infuse it with intention and then attach the clients photo to the front of their candle. This candle will then go on my All Saints Altar, when I have candle going for clients 24 hours a day, 7 days a week! There you have it! Step by Step instructions on how to properly clean, anoint, bless and create a candle for candle spell burning success! ...
Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 26th, 2009 in Beginners Candle Spells, Proper Candle Preparation, Readers Questions | Comments Off on Readers Questions | Disposing of Candle Remnants In Various Locations
Another reader wants to know about disposal of candle wax and spell remnants… Jacqueline, Just would like to know. I know some spells require that you dispose your work by burying far away or near your doorstep or throwing in running water. I live in a building not a house how would I do that? Also, if a spell calls for you to write the other woman’s’ name on a candle and you do not know the person name what do you write? Please shed some light on this for me. Thank You If you want something to come back to you or come to you, you bury it near your home – unless it is his underwear, and that you place UNDER your mattress. The theory here is that whatever you are doing as a candle spell, then those remnants of wax, burnt ashes of petition papers, incense or herbs and sachet powders, will be the ‘attracting’ scent, er or ‘magnet’ to your door. This goes for fast luck, more business, steady business, lover come back or here, kitty kitty spells. Now, if you do not have a source of dirt (like a planter bed or grass) near your door, then get a terracotta pot, pour in a couple of inches of dirt, place items there, cover with more dirt or potting soil and get a live plant, silk or artificial bush or just some rocks over the dirt (to keep kitty from using the potty there) and leave as close to your front door or porch as possible. Now, if you want to get rid of something, throw it into moving water, like a river or fast moving creek. Don’t throw it into a pond, as your eyes will always gravitate to the spot when you drive by in the future. If you are trying to damn someone up, take it to the cemetery and leave it at a grave site, along with a small bottle (half pint) of whiskey and a cigar. Maybe some candy or gum. If it is to punish or get someone thrown in jail, go leave it at a policeman’s or war veteran’s grave. they will do justice work for you. Your second question is about carving a name in a candle and what to do if you do not know their name. You can carve (or write on a petition paper and pin with pins into wax) any identifying description and/or DNA you have. Some examples: “that b***h that stole my man” (to the point!), or “the blonde up the street”, or “Debbie, the grocery clerk with brown hair at Piggly Wiggly”; you get the picture. Now, let’s say he comes home with lipstick on his collar (or somewhere else), cut the offending lipstick out of the clothing (yes, ruin the shirt you gave him) and either pin it to a piece of white paper with the words, “The woman who was wearing this lipstick who was with him last night” or something like that. You can also use her hair that she left on his coat collar, headrest in the car, or a mysterious telephone number that was scribbled on a matchbook. Hey, all’s fair in love and war, right? 😉...
Posted by Jacqueline on Feb 11th, 2009 in Beginners Candle Spells, Love Candle Spells, Proper Candle Preparation, Readers Questions | Comments Off on Readers Questions | Drawing Us Closer Love Candle Spell
Rene asks about love candle spells: Hi Jacqueline, I’ve been perusing your website. Do you have a love candle spell I can burn for me and my mate to bring us close? After reading the Saint Jude Love Spell, I’m not certain this is the one I should use. Looking forward to your response. Rene You may be right on this one, Rene, depending on the severity of space between the two of you. Saint Jude is considered the Saint of Impossible Cases, like if uncontrollable events were keeping the two of you apart. If it is just that the two of you are in contact with each other on a regular basis, but you are desiring something more (commitment, more time, quality of time together), then other candle spells will do. Here’s one you can try: INGREDIENTS: 2 – Pink (or White, in a pinch) 7 -day glass Novena-type candles (demonstrated with yellow candles for ease of contrast in photos) 1 bottle of Come to Me or Come Closer Oil Photo of each of you (not together) OR 2 slips of white paper with the full name of each of you written on it and taped to base of candle. Red String (about 24 inches) Clean candles with lemon juice (see category to right on Proper Candle Preparation). Set aside to dry. Tape single photo to each of candle at base of candle or tape name paper in same area (see photo). Set candles on two saucers to catch any drips of wax (if any) and to protect you from fire hazard. Tie red string around YOUR candle and knot it around one candle, leaving long length of red string on one end. (see photo above). Pour a small amount (about 7 drops) of oil in each of the candles. Candles will be placed with some space in between them, you will be moving them closer to each other each day. Loosely loop long end of red string around base of other candle, but NOT TYING in a knot but a loop (see photo). You will need to ‘cinch’ up the slack in the string daily as you move (see photos). Each day, either morning or night, untie the bow and move candle with saucer a bit closer, praying/saying “As I move this candle that represents you my love, you are coming closer to me day by day, until you and I stand side by side.” You may want to change some of the wording to personalize your intentions. As you move THEIR candle closer, re-tie the red string into a bow, making the string somewhat taut, as if you are ‘ropin’ them in’ (pardon the pun) 🙂 Repeat if necessary, replacing candles when needed, until desired effects occur. When you repeat the spell, begin again with the candles far apart, moving them closer every day. ...
