Basic Candle Magick

Author: Anja Heij

Burning a candle has something magical; our unconsciousness
recognizes the connection between earth and infinite creative
heaven symbolized by the burning candle. No electric lamp can
ever beat a simple candle when it comes to bringing a warm and
cosy atmosphere in which we feel at home.
Burning a candle for a beloved one in a church with a wish is
a simple form of magick.
Blowing out the candles on a birthday cake while making a wish
in fact is candle magick.
You may want to put a white candle at the positions north, east,
south and west in the magickal circle.
Or you may wish to position five candles in the form of a pentagram.

Candle magick works like this:

• Choose one or more candles in the color(s) appropriate to
  your magickal goal. ( See Color magick
  )
  
  
  
  


• Your candles have to be virgin, what means not used before.
  This is important, because used candles carry the energies of
  former use with them, what may disturb or diminish the effectiveness
  of your present ritual. Always use new candles for a ritual,
  even if you do two rituals of the same kind after one another,
  for instance a healing for person A and for person B. But if
  your ritual needs to be repeated several days then of course
  you can use the same candles for the same type ritual for the
  same person during successive days.
  
  
  
  


• Now you have to charge the candle for your purpose. By charging
  it you bring your own energies and magickal desires into the
  candle. By charging it you also mentally start the process of
  focusing on your goal and physically make contact with the representation
  of your aim. You make a psychic link with the candle. You charge
  the candle(s) by:
  
  1.Carving the name of the person or your goal in it with a small
  knife. Do this concentrated.
  
  2. You anoint it, what means that you rub it in with oil while
  visualizing your spell. This is also called 'dressing' the candle.
  You can dress the candle with pure olive oil or a suitable essential
  oil. In any magick that is 'calling' (attracting things, like
  money, health, love) you rub the oil from the top of the candle
  to the base. In 'banishing' magick (getting rid of things, like
  negative influences, addictions) you rub the oil from the base
  of the candle to the top.
  
  
  
  


• Put the candle in the holder and light it. Visualize your
  goal for as long as you can, or recite affirmations (one world
  or a sentence) for a time. Then put the candle out. Repeat this
  for several days, at least three, until you get results. Then
  let the candle burn all the way out.
  
  
  
  


• Another way of working is this: don't carve your message in
  the candle, but write it on a piece of paper while visualizing
  your goal, and burn it completely in the candle flame. Be careful:
  put the candlestick into a larger plate or chalice for this
  goal, for I know this will most of the time become a mess. While
  burning it concentrate completely on your goal. Then let the
  candle burn all the way out. (You don't need to stay around,
  but be careful: it is fire!)
  
  
  
  


• Always burn a white candle too, as purification and protection
  against negativity. This is your altar candle, which can be
  used any ritual until it is burned away. So in candle magick
  there will always be at least two candles: one altar candle
  and one anointed ritual candle.
  
  

Candle magick can be combined with other color magick, sex magick
or other forms of magick.
