Jacqueline, I have a question on the way to anoint candles with the anointing oils. Do we rub the oils in a clockwise motion on the candle? I look forward to your reply. Thank You, Yvette ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It all depends on what outcome you want. Some people do not rub oil on the candles, but merely drops it in “wells” carved into the wax and even just poured onto the surface of the wax. In my experience, what I do is this: I carve the holes into the candle, add the oil, then rotate the candle “backwards” around the “face of the clock” (meaning if the candle was a clock’s hand, it would start at 12 o’clock and go backwards to 11, then 10, 9, 8 etc.) Depending on the Nature of the Subject, I may turn the candle clockwise. You get the picture. I do this three times while praying a personal prayer for the recipient (either myself or a client) then I take my dominant hand and cup it and ‘pop’ it three times on the top rim of the glass of the vigil candle (I don’t generally use free standing candles, except for special occasions). I did investigate further and talked with Stan, chief candle maker at Wizard Candles, and this is what he told me: ” ‘ There is an aspect to nature that involves direction when moving along a curve or in a circle. Orbits, rotations of planets, even the way water flows in your toilet or sink shows this directional priority. It tends to go in one of two directions along the curve. When things move in the direction of the Sun, it’s commonly referred to as “Clockwise”. Now in some books, you may come across a word, “Deosil”. This is NOT pronounced “Dee-oh-sill”, but rather, “Jess-ill”, as it is a Gaelic word meaning “sunwise”. When you move things in this direction, you are increasing the power and the effect. “Turning up the volume”, if you like. By moving counter clockwise or “Widdershins”, you decrease the volume or “take down” things. The volume knob on most radios and stereos move the same way, if that helps. You can easily see how knowing this helps in working with energy of any kind, especially in candle workings. Then there’s the anointing or “dressing” the candle. This is done to charge the candle with your energy and connected it more directly to you and your thought energy. The easiest way to do this is to take a little oil that you use for this purpose (essential oils work best) and put some in the palm of your “Power” hand (the one you use to eat or write with). Take the candle in your “Receptive” or other hand, wrap your oiled hand around it and starting about half-way or in the middle of the candle, gently pull and twist (going “Deosil” (Jess-il) or clockwise) until you reach the end, focusing your thought or intention as you do. Note: It’s very helpful to visualize the end result as though it has already happened or more like a memory and you’re just catching up to the event. Then turn the candle around and do the same to the other half. Your candle is dressed and ready to go! (By turning it around you automatically turn it “Widdershins” in your hand, thus half the candle is increasing and the other half is diminishing. ‘ “ Wow! I couldn’t have said it better myself!

How do I use a regular black candle to stop someone from trying to break up my marriage and can I use high john the conqueror oil on the black candle? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Leatha, You have asked me just recently about using Hi John the Conqueror Oil for a substitution for Revenge Oil in a candle. Please see this article that addressed the uses of Hi John back on February 8, 2010. The article name is Readers Question |Hi John for Revenge Oil in a Spell“. You can click on this blue name and go right to the article. High John the Conqueror (sometimes known as “John the Conker” as slang/Southern drawl) is an oil to enhance specifically a man’s sexual prowess and muscular and mental powers of control for issues of employment, business dealings and gambling. It IS ture that you CAN use it to ENHANCE the powers of ANOTHER OIL, but John the Conqueror cannot be used as the sole oil in a candle spell, unless it is for a man to enhance his powers of attraction. So, let’s play “Devil’s Advocate”. Before we get into any magical issues, how are you with this man? Are you being all that you can be as a woman? Have you sat down with him and talked to him, expressing your fears or suspicions of another woman coming around? Has he been acting suspicious? Erasing text messages and hiding his cell phone? Has he been ‘working late’? So, let’s assume you are being a good, honest and forthright woman – he just has someone bringing her ‘thang’ around for him to sniff like a dog. First, you need a name, photo, piece of hair, cigarette butt, used napkin, Q-tip, used tissue – whatver – to make a most powerful jinx spell. If this is not the case, you need as much information as you can get on her. I a worst case scenario, you can write on a parchment paper “That B*%$H that is coming around my husband needs to be dead, done and gone!” This can be burned under a black candle dressed with Crossing Oil, Jinxing Oil, Damnation Oil, Run, Devil, Run Oil, Hot Foot Oil or any other kind of chasing and jinxing oil. I have even seen something called “G.T.F.O.” Oil (meaning Get the F%&K Out – c’mon you figured it out, too). It is WITH THESE types of oils that you can add some Hi John to boost the power of the oil to a much stronger level. Hope this clarifies everything. Good Luck!...
Hello Jacqueline, My second oldest son who in college seems to be having difficulty with-his college classes this semester. Is there anything he can do to pass his classes he uses crown of success and he recently brought your sister attraction oil and he rubs it on his palms and neck what else can he do to acheive success? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Have him get a yellow 7-day vigil or novena candle in glass (like the ones in the Latino foods aisle at your local market) and clean it using lemon juice or Florida Water and drill three holes in it like this (cleaning out the extra wax shards). Then fill each well with Crown of Success Oil. Have him burn this candle while he studies. When it gets low, get a new one going. Another thing is that he might want to create a little Vision Board to place behind the candle. This could be as simple as a collage that consists of magazine advertisements taped or glued to a cardboard or construction paper background. The images needed to be included would be a photo of a graduate, photos of bags of money, fancy car, gorgeous women, a desk in an office, a home – basically all the things a good college education will bring you. You can even start this Vision Board as soon as they are in middle school to keep them focused. Another thing is that he should anoint his temples and across his forehead at the hairline with the Crown of Success Oil before he begins his studying – and of course, light this candle. Light the candle only when he is studying, and pinch the flame out or extinguish it with a candle snuffer (don’t BLOW it OUT as that means you are DONE with the SPELL). Rubbing it on the back of the neck at the base of the head harkens back to old African American beliefs that the Soul of a person is located where the head meets the neck. Now, for the common sense – give him a space that is peaceful and quiet during his study times – might be a little hard to do, after all, he is, (ahem) IS in college! I am sure he will be distracted by all the ‘college life’ that is surrounding him – BUT – as a mom you can make sure he can ‘come home’ on the weekends, make sure you have lots of good, soul satisfying food on hand, and do his laundry (maybe lacing your liquid laundry detergent with Crown of Success and a little of Controlling Oils – just in case). It will be all good. God Bless him and I want a photo of that handsome man in his cap and gown! All the Best,...
