MAGICKAL CANDLE TIPS

  • Never light candles near windows with curtains that can blow about and catch fire.

  • Use a snuffer or damper to extinguish candles. Blowing may break the magick by interfering with the flow of energy between the spiritual planes.

  • It is best to use a single candle per invocation. Whenever possible, allow a candle to burn out completely, or relight the same candle for the same invocation in the future.

  • It is best to light candles with matches. However, a good rule of thumb is to use matches (fire and wood) for earthly actions, and a lighter can be used for spiritual actions.

  • When several people are lighting candles for ceremonial purposes in a group (marriages, parties, NYE celebrations), use the flame of one candle to light another.

  • If individual desires are sought, even in groups, each individual should light their own candle.

  • If your wish is to release energy, or to free yourself from something, throw candle remains in the trash outside your home.

  • If your wish is to attract something, stimulate something, or encourage increase, place the candle in the garden or keep for reuse in another personal request ritual.

  • Never, ever, ever, reuse candles that have been used in rituals or spells for others.

    It is OK to recycle paraffin to repeat a request, renew a request, make a new candle, or mix colors as long as it is personal, involving the same person and the same magick.
