Faith and Intention in Your Candle Burning Spells

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...

Readers Questions | How to Break Up a Couple

Readers Questions | How to Break Up a Couple Jacqueline, I believe that me and my ex boyfriend broke up because of a spell that his new girlfriend placed on him. He states he still loves me and he thinks they did something as well. What candles can I use to break that spell and bring him back to me? Natalie I am sorry to heat this – not only for you but (and in a lesser amount) sorry for the ‘other woman’ that has to use candle magic or other items to ‘get her man’. A couple of questions come to mind – why would your boyfriend come in contact with this other woman? Are they co-workers? Is she (or he) desperate? Unsettled? Restless? I cannot tell you how many clients I see in regards to love – because of some tomfoolery going on with one of the couple. So I would first ask you to think about this – how was the relationship going BEFORE the breakup? ‘She’ might offer something you don’t – or won’t do. This is alright if you have a Code of Standards in which you use to guide your life. It is OK to NOT do something you are being forced to do by threat or pressure, if you do not what to do it. Is he just irresponsible and maybe his leaving is a true ‘blessing’? No offense, but some behaviors are more noticeable when you are standing on the sideline – kind of like when you pull the magnifying glass back, you can see the whole pattern in the leaf – not just one cell. Another thing to consider is how long has your boyfriend been gone? I had a client once that waited over three months to begin candle work. So, if you want to get your lover back, you will have to work as many days as it has been since they left you. Believe me, the hardest candle spell (and the most costly) are when lovers have been apart for years – due to their hard heads sometimes – before getting back. Remember the longer apart – the harder it is to get them back. OK after all that, I am going to assume that your relationship was fine and will offer these ideas: 1. You can do a honey jar on him, using ANY personal item that might have DNA on it – toothbrush bristle, razor with hair, hairbrush, old clothes (preferably unwashed), underwear, sweaty tee shirt, Q – tip, snot rag – ANYTHING that you can use to plop in a honey jar to designate HIM. Use two matching lodestones (a ‘male’ lodestone is pointy, rugged and a ‘female’ lodestone is curved, rounded). Use something of your (again – hair, part of your soiled panties, cigarette butt wrapper, lipstick on tissue) and USING ONLY A PART OF THIS ITEM (about a 1 inch square). Write your petition paper and place that on bottom of jar, add personal objects of the both of you, then cover with honey, Karo syrup, brown sugar, white sugar – any sweeteners that you want.  Fill to brim, cap jar, set in bowl and begin lighting free standing pink candles, votive candles or tea lights on top of the lid (see jar here for idea). The idea here is to ‘sweeten’ him up to draw him back and not using any ‘revenge’ type energy in getting him back. 2. You can use a Male and Female Figural Candle and burn them for results. You will need these two candles, a bottle of “Break Up” Condition Oil, a large knife that you bought at the dollar discount store and a plate...

Readers Questions | More About Popping Noises with Honey Jar Candle

Readers Questions | More About Popping Noises with Honey Jar Candle Michael, a reader that inquired a couple of weeks ago about ‘popping’ noises with his honey jar candle love spell, not only gave us his ingredients, but fabulous photos and a link to some video he shot with the noises clearly audible and the wick splitting into two! Amazing! You may use this link to go to this video he created of the candle burning, along with popping noises! http://tinypic.com/usermedia.php?uo=2kaonNSDdqShNFkc3TrttA%3D%3D Michael asked me to give some observations about his candle and it is evident that this was for love, and he indicated that he used pictures of him and her, hairs, rose petals and lodestones. The interesting thing is how the one wick separated into two flames (see photo). this is a VERY good sign that you will be successful in love with this young lady. My only thought is that you ‘temper’ the honey jar with either covering the red with a white candle, or the next candle you burn be a pink one. Again, remember red is energy, intense and hot, and you don’t want your new relationship to ‘run red hot’ – or, that you are so sensually overstimulated that there is nothing else but the physical, if you know what I mean. You need affection and romance (pink) and appreciation for each others’ minds (white). So, to keep this relationship more than just the sexual, I would alternated the red with either pink or white candles. Good Luck and keep us posted on when the wedding date has been set!...

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? 😉...
