Fiery Desires: Candle Magic
Fire tempts, enchants, and attracts... Lighting a candle can make an enormous change in the home atmosphere: everything becomes softer and warmer, magic is in the air.
You can gaze into fire infinitely: it seems to hypnotize by its ferocity, passion, wild dance and freedom. The power of fire has been helping us from ancient times: candles on a birthday cake, in the church along with the prayer, traditional burning of papers with wishes at New Year’s Eve...
The element of Fire is always willing to help us. But how can You reach an agreement with wild fire without burning Yourself?
There are a few simple rules that will turn Your communication with the element into a little feminine magic.
1. It’s how You treat fire. Fire, or Agni, is a live soul, and requires to be treated most respectfully.
That’s why it’s better to light a candle with matches, not with a lighter. And it’s better to put it out not by blowing, but with a candle snuffer, a spoon, or You might try with Your fingers. In any case with great respect and gratitude.
2. We can write wishes on a candle. What is the right way?
When we draw something into our lives, we write from the bottom upwards, from the bottom to the wick, and when we get rid of something, we write from the top downwards. It’s important to write in Latin letters (the Cyrillic alphabet is seldom used in magic), for example, “I am healthy”.
We write the wish with a sharpened wooden stick, not with a pen. You can use a toothpick, but later make a point of finding Your "magic wand” and use it exclusively – it will gain force and the wishes written with it will come true faster.
To connect the candle with Your energy You can write near its base Your full name in Latin letters.
3. You can use moon phases – we draw things to us during the waxing moon and we get rid of them during the waning moon. The new moon is perfect time for money magic, and the full moon – for love magic. And You’d better not plan any workings for the 9th, 19th, 23rd, and 29th moon days.
4. You can intensify Your wish by the color of the candle.
Yellow and gold – success;
green – health, money and gifts;
red – power and passion;
pink – love;
violet – patronage and protection;
white – women’s health;
orange – tantric sex;
blue – luck (e. g. use them to wish for a good trip);
brown – pets’ health;
black – getting rid of fears, obstacles (be very cautious with this color,
light a red candle afterwards to fill Yourself with energy);
silver – magic feminine attraction.
What can You do right now?
Try to do a ritual at full moon: place a silver candle in front of a mirror, burn some jasmine oil in an aroma lamp and for a few minutes watch Your reflection in the mirror through the candle flame, breathing in the scent of jasmine. These are feminine, lunar energies, and You absorb them like a sponge. See what happens!!!
You can write on a red candle from the bottom upwards “I am filled with energy” and occasionally light it when You feel lack of energy. Your body will start tingling and warming up, filling with energy.
Take care with green candles. When You ask for money, You can ask three times more than You have now. But don’t go over that limit. The lines of money and health are closely connected. And at the end make sure You add: “I am healthy and happy”.
5. How do we ask, put our wishes into words? In present time, as if it already exists. For example, “I am happily married to the man I love who loves me”.
Remember that magic works very directly, so don’t use any metaphors. “A money bag out of nowhere”, “undying love” are not the best ways to express Your wishes. Imagine a three-year-old child who can make Your wishes true. How would You speak to him, in which words? Use these kind of words on the candle.
6. How do You burn candles? If it’s a wish for the whole year, for example, “My monthly income amounts to… ”, You can burn Your candle at new moon and at full moon for a few minutes during the year.
If the wish is specific for the nearest future, for example, “Vasya calls me” – we light the candle and hold it until it burns down (but keep a careful eye on it – magic candles behave very unpredictably).
7. And the most important thing... Sometimes we ask for something, and when the Universe begins fulfilling it, suddenly we back off and say: “Stop, stop, stop! I don’t want this!” And that’s how You risk messing things up. Always have the courage to go till the end!
Although sometimes in candle magic the process itself is enchanting and the result is not all so important: it’s a very beautiful feminine work with hands, heart and soul.
When we decorate candles at workshops (and plenty of things can be done to them – You can draw magic signs on them, angels’ and gods’ names, charge beautifully, anoint them and a lot more), all the girls note that that candles seem to come alive, start palpitating and breathing. Ethereal beauty!!!
And I wholeheartedly invite You into this wonderful world of candle magic. I wish You courage to go Your way till the end, fulfillment of Your innermost wishes, and may these wishes lead You to big, true, beautiful feminine happiness.
With Love, Your Maria Shitova
