Candle Spell Candle Preparation Step By Step for Candleburning Success!

Candle Spell Candle Preparation Step By Step for Candleburning Success! 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!    ...

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? 😉...

Readers Questions | Using Olive Oil as a Substitute for Blessing Oils

Readers Questions | Using Olive Oil as a Substitute for Blessing Oils A Reader asks: I am trying to do the bring him to closer to me spell as well as the candle spell; and I can not find the oils in enough times, I have olive oil and I read that I can pray over the olive oil. Is this okay…It will be the end of the week before I have the funds to see this entire project through, in that at this time I am interviewing someone to work with me. Thank you   You may use olive oil in a ‘pinch’ to anoint your oil; after all, not only is it one of the ‘Holy Oils’ mentioned in the Bible but also consider the oil lamps that were used constantly in the Temple and also for burnt offerings. The Olive tree is abundant throughout the Middle East and revered in all the religions that originated from that geographical area. Another idea is to get a couple of bottles of Olive oil and place some spices and herbs in each to steep, these being a base for what ever candle burning spells you want to create. Use Cinnamon for ‘Fast Luck’ and ‘Love’ conditions, allspice and mint for ‘Money’ type candles.    ...

Readers Questions | What Do I Do When the Candle Goes Out?

                Readers, this is the continuation of an e-mail with questions from a reader that I felt were good to answer in blog posts. You may find a friend or even yourself experiencing some of the same things as our reader who writes: Reader: I was reading the instructions that were enclosed with the oil and powder sachets. It said that IF a candle went out do not re-light it due to negative forces. Jacqueline:>>>>>Yes. Throw candle away and start over. You either didn’t do it right or the thing that you are trying to change is too big and strong and you have to ‘tweak’ your spell. Reader: Should I throw it away (my present plan)? Jacqueline: >>>>Start over. Readers, it is important to focus and prepare your candles right in accordance to traditional cleansing and blessing/anointing methods either taught by your spiritual group or by doing research here at Free-Candle-Spells. There is a category to the right called Proper Candle Preparation, that can answer most of your basic questions. If your candle goes out, toss it out. It is either of poor quality because of hasty, cheap labor manufacturing or you can consider the candle to not have been properly prepared for the situation. With regards to cheap labor, the wick is held down by an aluminum ‘button’ that weighs the wick to the bottom of the glass. However, this does not insure you against wicks with too much ‘play’ in them that they wiggle left or right of center when candle is cooling during the pour. Once a wick has too much ‘play’, it has the tendency to ‘float’ all over the inside of the glass, and even potentially dipping over onto itself and extinguishing the flame. Now for the metaphysical or spiritual answer; you did not prepare the candle properly before lighting and/or the ‘entity’ or ‘problem’ you are burning your candle for is larger than you first realized. Begin again with a fresh candle and maybe even bolster or ‘prop it up’ with a white candle in glass next to it, to bring angelic light and purity to the candle spell. Thank you for the great questions as it has spurred on some more questions that will be posted in the next week!    ...
