Candle Magick is a type of magick that can be inter-mingled with several other
kinds of magick (color magick, sex magick or other forms of magick) or by itself.
Below is a basic outline of how Candle Magick (by itself) can be done.
Combine it with your own spells and or rituals.

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 an Athame or 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 recitate affirmations (one word or a sentence) for a time. Then put
the candle out (NEVER blow out a candle, always use a snuffer. By blowing out the
candle you blow away your energies and your goals). 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. Once the paper is ashes, bury it in the ground
(if you have a backyard).

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.
