[LdyAshlynn] now, have you worked on candle flame manipulation?
[RalphM] no
[RalphM] love candles though
[LdyAshlynn] lets do that first
[RalphM] ok
[LdyAshlynn] It is a good indicator of presences
[LdyAshlynn] as well as a form of scrying
[LdyAshlynn] and simple magick testing...aye
[RalphM] cool
[LdyAshlynn] You start by lighting a candle
[LdyAshlynn] placing it a foot or so away
[RalphM] any color in particular?
[LdyAshlynn] nope
[RalphM] k
[LdyAshlynn] flame is the important thing not colour
[RalphM] listening
[LdyAshlynn] you concentrate into the flame
[LdyAshlynn] asking it to grow long and thin
[LdyAshlynn] to determine, say simple yes or no questions
[RalphM] ok
[RalphM] kinda like a ouja board questioning?
[LdyAshlynn] a good way to work with it is to 'pinch' the flame with your thumb n index finger
[LdyAshlynn] not touching it of course
[LdyAshlynn] visual trick
[RalphM] ok
[RalphM] I was about to say 'ouch'
[RalphM] :)
[LdyAshlynn] lol
[LdyAshlynn] this is excellent to develop your actual magick
[RalphM] like energy ball forming?
[LdyAshlynn] not to mention it is a rapid proof
[LdyAshlynn] aye
[RalphM] I'm wit ya!
[RalphM] :)
[LdyAshlynn] then you can get it swaying wildly
[LdyAshlynn] short n fat or whatever
[LdyAshlynn] the point being that you are doing it, manipulating it w/o touching or wind currents
[LdyAshlynn] I think you will be pleasantly surprised with your ability
[RalphM] awesome!  I'll start working on it
[LdyAshlynn] It is also a good way of learning focus
[LdyAshlynn] First decide what you want to accomplish
[RalphM] WOW I can split the candle flame!!
[LdyAshlynn] Excellent
[LdyAshlynn] Howd you split it?
[RalphM] well I can manipulate it....
[LdyAshlynn] Told ya you could
[LdyAshlynn] What method?
[RalphM] from a distance when I split it wit my index finger it forks
[LdyAshlynn] yup
[LdyAshlynn] Good
[RalphM] and then I can make it go back to regular
[RalphM] but I couldn't make it short and fat
[LdyAshlynn] You will
[LdyAshlynn] Another method is to pull the index n thumb apart sideways
[RalphM] it's a trip that I was able to manipulate it so fast wit not much effort
[LdyAshlynn] Thereby pulling it
[greenman-] what is the perpose of manipulating the flame?
[LdyAshlynn] It serves many purposes.
[RalphM] WOW
[greenman-] aye?
[LdyAshlynn] It is a good focal pint exercise
[RalphM] i'm trippin 
[RalphM] doesn't do everything I want it to BUT i can see it knows I'm here!
[LdyAshlynn] It is used as divination, spirit communication and to help send out intent
[LdyAshlynn] Colour is of no matter
[LdyAshlynn] That is how Markus contacted the Morgan
[greenman-] aye.. as the flame is its own..
[LdyAshlynn] aye
