Hi All! It has been a quick summer and I have a bounty of spells to post here – I’d better get crackin’! 🙂 But first, a question from a reader: Dear Jacqueline, Let me tell you first that I LOVE your site! You have such interesting spells – even the baaad ones! I have a question. I am burning candles left and right because my boyfriend and I had a disagreement awhile back and even though he calls me and comes by, it’s just not the same as it was before so I had been burning pink candles of Saint Jude like you said and I had ordered some Fire of Love Oil from another website. I think I am doing everything right – the cleaning with lemon juice, the paper under the candle, the oil on the candle – but…no sparks. Do you think I am doing too much or not enough? What else should I do? I am so sorry that I said the hurtful things I said; but he said some ugly things, too. I just want things to be back like they were before the fight. What else can I do? Debra – Florida Debra, I am so sorry that this happened and I am wondering why the candles are doing their stuff. The only thing is that maybe we have to “tweak” the combination. Let’s go over the steps again. First, make sure that you are using the right candle. You say you are using the pink St. Jude candle (St. Jude being the Patron Saint of Impossible Causes) and the color pink is correct as you want romantic love – not the wham, bam, thank you, ma’am sexual power of red candles. Properly clean your candle with lemon juice to “cut and clear” all negativity and residuals that someone might have on their hands while making, packing and storing/shelving the candles before they come into your possession. State your intention clearly, I mean clearly as evasive or vague statements can nullify your candle burning success. Comments like, ‘Well, if he don’t come back by such-and-such day, then he better leave me alone’ confuses even me much less the angels who are working on your behalf. You might want to incorporate using the power of the moon to work candle magic. This might be a favorable thing for you to do. Begin love drawing candle magic on the day after a New Moon, or when you see a sliver of the moon and each night it is getting bigger – this is the time for bringing or drawing in good things – love, prosperity and success. The time from the Full Moon (when the moon is a complete circle in the sky) until the dark of the moon (when the sky is dark) is the time for sending or banishing away things – a bad boyfriend, an ugly job or bills, bills, bills! You can go even further and research which day of the week and which time of that day is good for love drawing. There are many books that go deeply into that aspect. It might behoove you to contact and get a reading from a professional psychic, root worker or tarot reader to find out if you have missed your chance or is this just a phase you two are going through. The various divination tools can give insight and clarity to something that might be right before your eyes! In the meantime, develop interests outside of the relationship until you get a clear sign of which way you are to go. This doesn’t mean another...
I received this e-mail the other day wanted to post it for everyone to use to sour a relationship between two people or cause trouble for someone. – Thank you! I wanted to send you this because it has worked for me, even with the use of the candle! I thought others might want to use this spell to cause troubles for an enemy or just stir up trouble for those who have been causing you grief. Thank you Jacqueline for providing all the spells that you have written here. Keep up the good work! Carissa – Georgia Take a jar and fill it with dried red peppers, black peppercorns, dried crushed snail shells, snake skin sheds (if you can get them), needles, pins, nails, small pieces of glass or any other sharp objects and white vinegar. If you can get some graveyard dirt, that can go in there as well. Place as much items as you can about the person in the jar with all of this. You can write their name on a piece of white paper, birth date, a photo, a piece of hair, a fingernail clipping, a snip of their old smelly sock (unwashed) – anything that personalizes it. Keep this hidden away somewhere dark and bring it out daily or every few days and shake it hard so that the pins poke the paper and the glass scratches it. You can even say out loud while shaking your own personal curse and what you would like the Universe to do to them for their evil actions towards you. Remember it is always better to bless – but in this case, a little vinegar won’t hurt either! – J. ...
Readers Questions – Directionality in Anointing Candle and Spiritual Baths
Posted by Jacqueline on Aug 27th, 2008 in Beginners Candle Spells, Proper Candle Preparation, Readers Questions | Comments Off on Readers Questions – Directionality in Anointing Candle and Spiritual Baths OK Miz Jacquline — this needs explaining to me, even though this is how I do it, too … In Lesson #5 it says: DIRECTIONALITY OF BATHING — To draw in positive conditions, instruct the client to bath from the feet upward. — To remove negative conditions, instruct the client to bathe from the head down or the neck down. Yet … in your TbyJ (she means my www.tarotbyjacqueline.com site) article (and when I dress candles), we do it in the OPPOSITE way: — The anointing of a candle to release you from a condition requires you to anoint the candle from the base to the top — The anointing of a candle to bring, draw or call in conditions that are welcome requires you to anoint the candle from the tip of the candle to the base How come? No wonder I was confused when I first started trying to understand directionalities .. and now that I look at this — it is confusing!! Another question from a bumbling Neophyte practitioner 🙂 “Sparkle Gems” – NJ Sparkle, I understand your problem! Even I get confused! The thing about this is it is all about intention (ahem) INTENTION – again like baking a chocolate cake, do you put 1 cup or a cup and a half of sugar, a teaspoon or tablespoon of vanilla? It is the intention of making a great tasting cake that leads a cook to experiment. However, there are some universal thoughts in regards to direction. Let me try to explain. In regards to bathing, have you ever seen water flow upwards? Nah, neither have I but the only way to do this is by starting your pour and move upward on your body – from foot to head – to achieve it. I would do this if direction is a main concern for you. I have a different method of doing “directional” bathing. In regards to bathing for blessings, I first do the uncrossing or banishing pouring, follow it with a clear water rinse, then pour the blessing water (money, love success) over my head from top to bottom – and “call in” or “bring down from the Heavens” those same blessings. Now, with candles, it is the same – from top to bottom (top meaning the side that is tapered or where the most wick is showing – considered the “top” of the candle by most), brings “in” blessings. Anointing a candle from the base or bottom of the candle to the top is a banishing or releasing of negativity because the candle is pointing up and sending that energy outwards into the Universe. I hope this helps, but if you have more questions, please feel free to ask! I got a chuckle about the “Miz” in the above! Don’t forget the “e” – I get different spellings all the time and I just say ‘It’s Jacqueline , like Mrs. Onassis, but without the money!’ – Gets a laugh all the time! 🙂...Free Candle Spells | Readers Questions – Regarding Burning Too Many Candles

Posted by Jacqueline on Jul 18th, 2008 in Proper Candle Preparation, Readers Questions | Comments Off on Free Candle Spells | Readers Questions – Regarding Proper Use of Petition Papers and Candles Here is a note I received this morning regarding my most recent posts by a very observant reader: Hello Ms. Jacqueline, I have read with interest your most recent blog post and am confused. How are we supposed to “label” our candles? Do we tape the piece of paper on the candle — you just say to use the piece of paper for the black candle? And what do you do with the papers? Do they burn up with the candle when it burns? I have read you can carve or scratch the name(s) in the candle numerous times. And I’ve read that the petition papers are folded either towards you or away from you, depending on the kind of spell you are doing, and then set under the candle somehow, like under the saucer the candle sits on. I don’t want to do this wrong as I am a beginner. Thanks! Lawanda – TX Lawanda, Thank you for being so observant and this must have directly touched your mind as you were concerned that you are doing “it” right – “it” being proper candle burning. I would have to say that almost 90% of candle spells that I have used – and do – use the 7-day glass encased “novena” type candle – like the ones you get at the Lucky 13 Clover Spiritual Supply This is a photo of Pink St. Jude Candles used for Love Spells This is not to say that you could not use candles that are known as free standing candles, but attaching name papers, petitions or photos to free standing would almost assuredly bring about a fire – something no one wants! How I attach a name paper is to place it at the base of the candle with a piece of scotch tape. This way, the candle is “labeled” but not at the top, where it will scorch and possibly catch fire. By the time the flame gets to the base of the candle, very little flammable wax is in the the glass, and less likely to catch the paper on fire. For petitions and photos, I lay them under the edge of the glass, with the glass rim of the candle along the edge of the paper, so that in the last few hours of the candle’s burning, it does not damage the photo (sometimes you want to re-use the photo, as in love spells) Thank you for a great question!...Free Candle Spells | Readers Spells – Vinegar Jar Spell to Cause Trouble for an Enemy
