Candle Flame Magick uses the inherent energy, and power of flame to bring about the desired change. Fire is the Element of change. Think for a minute how fire changes things: it liquefies wax. It renders numerous natural materials (leaves, wood, fragile living creature and bone) to cinder. It mollifies hard metals to make them moldable for producing. It can warm substances, transforming them from fluid to gas (water to steam, for instance). On the off chance that you combine fixings and place them into the fire, it can change your ingredients into cake, your mixture into bread. It conveys light to the dark and warmth to something freezing.
Since people found fire, they were in wonder of its energy and power. They looked to control that power, for the most part to utilize its energy of change. We proceed with this old convention when we hone Candle Flame Magick.
On the off chance that you’d jump at the chance to learn Candle Flame Magick, this guide will make you through it point by point. Keep in mind: the minute you start arranging a spell, you are sending energy and intention to it. Continuously keep your thoughts and intentions in a positive light, because you are sending your energy to the final desire.
Stage 1: Determine Your Desire
Similarly as with every single magickal spell, it’s critical to place thought into your objective. A few hints to remember when defining your desire:
•Be particular (no ‘wishing’ or ‘improve things’ type objectives) Be definite.
•Be practical (don’t wander into the domain of imagination here)
•Consider the morals of your activities (dependably act morally and don’t meddle with unrestrained choice, free will)
•Use positive dialect (stay away from words like ‘cant’, ‘don’t’, ‘won’t’ and ‘not’)
•Break greater objectives down into a progression of littler objectives
Attempt to compose your objective in a solitary sentence, for example, ‘I have to acquire additional cash to pay the electric bill’ or ‘I must be shielded from hurt when I travel’.
Stage 2: Design Your Spell
Utilize your objective to help control you in planning your Candle Flame Magick, spell. Suppose I’m completing a cash spell for the electric bill. I will do the most fundamental Candle Flame Magick spell: I will imagine my objective and light the candle to discharge the power and energy with my intent.
I’ve chosen to keep parts straightforward and to the point: a small candle in a holder, a few essential or combined oils to dress the flame, perhaps a couple of herbs and spices to add more power. Each element holds energy and frequency.
And lastly, You need a speak or chant my words from my spell to help raise the power and energy. I can utilize one of the numerous spells or chants discovered on the web, or I can hand craft one. The main vital thing about the words or spells you chant is that it has to have meaning and importance to you. You can actually get a kick out of the chance to utilize rhymes in your chant, it can help you remember and get you in the mood of your spell.
On the off chance that you utilize supernatural planning, you could check a lunar logbook to choose the best moon sign or planetary hour for your spell.
Here’s a chant for your spell you might use:
Cash, cash, come to me
I grab this opportunity
With this spell money rain
What I require is things to change
Money is what I will gain
Increase my paychecks 100 fold
Money go do as you are told.
So mote it be
Stage 3: Collect Your Items
Pick items lined up with your objective. For our cash spell, use a green candle for money, use herbs for wealth and abundance.
:
•A green virgin flame – candles ought to be new, or never utilized, in Candle Flame Magick. With respect to the color choice, utilize your senses or see the chart below
•A gold candle holder – gold additionally speaks to riches (it’s not genuine gold, it’s simply gold-hued, but rather it’ll do)
•Patchouli oil – an oil related with thriving
•Ground cinnamon – a spice related with riches
•Dragon’s blood – helps increate your spells energy and power
•Ground ginger – a spice used to accelerate
Use items that speak to you as an individual, trust your intuition, it is there for you to use it. Go with your first thought always, it is normally correct. Feeling and emotion empower your spells with intention and belief.
In addition to essential oils, there are oils you an purchase that have been created for certain results. This will empower your candle with even more intention.
