Candle Magic

intentions, prayer

Speak your breath into its velvet, recite along its spine all that you desire, all that which will unravel.

There are few spells that are complete without a candle or two or ten. Candles make the setting of a spell more magical and also play an essential role in a spell. Candles carry our intentions out into the universe; they pull in our words and prayers along their spines and send them out through the tips of their flames.

Aside from carrying our intentions, candles call in good spirits and nature’s helpers, who are drawn to the light of the flame. These spirits protect us as well as hold our intentions, making our spells all the more magical, effective, and special.

When you’re holding Candle Magic know that your intentions and prayers have been received by the powers that be. They know you are in need of support and are working hard behind the scenes to bring your prayers to life. You do not need to worry as your intentions will manifest when the time is right.

When Candle Magic is in reverse, you are being guided to call in good spirits to help with your goal. Have you ever tried invoking a deity or angel into your spells? If not, perhaps now is the time to give it a go. If you have, maybe there is a new deity that is waiting and willing to help you. Don’t be shy about asking others for help. Sometimes we need a little helping hand when things become overwhelming or we aren’t sure of how to proceed.
