Anointing your Oils/Oil Meanings

Ok, now until I read one of Silver Ravenwolf's books, i didn't know about this. Apparently it is very important how you annoint your candles. It all depends on the purpose of your spell.

If you are drawing something towards you (wish magick, money, love, harmony, peace etc.) then you rub the oil on the sides of your candle in a top to middle-bottom to middle motion (towards the center of the candle.
If you want something to go away (banishing magick, sending off negitive energies, getting rid of a bad habbit) then you do the opposit and rub from the center towards the top and from the center towards the bottom (away from the center).

I hope I explained that well enough. If not, email me and I'll put a graphic up or something...lol. Maybe i'll do that anyway.Ok, onto the Oils and their meanings.

Simple Candle Spell

  • When you're all ready with your candle (don't annoint it yet), sit calmly and hold it between the palms of your hands
  • Breath deeply, center and visualize your goal (purpose)
  • Take that energy and press, push, melt etc. it into your candle .....really feel it moving inside the candle
  • Feel the energy, see the color getting brighter
  • Now annoint your candle (this part is totally optional ...you don't always have to use oil) the appropriate direction and state your purpose ( or chant etc)
  • Place the candle in it's container
  • Use a match (lighters work too, but matches are nicer) and light it
  • Hold your hands around the candle and feel it working, send more energy if you need to and/or restate your purpose
  • Now just let the candle burn and do it's work!

it's as easy as that!

Candle Burning Tips

I have one big tip for now. If you have to leave your candle to burn down to the nothingness and you can't keep an eye on it, try setting it in your bathtub. I stongly suggest blowing it out if you can't be in the same room with it or if you have spazzy animals or small children. Better to be a safe witch than...well burning the whole damn house down! lol.
