Candle crafting, whether Wicca or witchcraft, is an extremely powerful way of casting spells. It’s affordable, flexible, and easy to fit into most people’s lifestyles. Harnesses the strength of the universal element of fire and brings with it all of the potent qualities of fire: its strength, its power to destroy (good for banishing spells), and its ability to cast light into the dark. Here are some tips on how to use craft candles for Wicca, witch spells, or even if you’re a beginner.
How to work with spell candles
Prepare a quiet space to work and make sure you are not disturbed if possible. Place your candle in its holder and then focus on getting in the right frame of mind to cast. I use meditation for this purpose, but a long soak in a scented bath can do wonders too! When you feel relaxed and fully open, you are ready to begin.
Focus on the flame and watch how it flickers. Let yourself be absorbed by every part of it. You will then be ready to read your prepared spell if you have one. If not, you can simply repeat what you want to happen in your mind or out loud and visualize it actually happening. This will build energies and begin to give you an idea of what is possible to achieve.
How to prepare a spell candle
Spell candles can be anointed with a special oil that will increase the power of your spell. These are readily available to purchase and all you need to do is dress the candle with the oil before you begin your work. You can also roll your candle in some herbs after anointing, so find out which herbs are relevant to the effect you want to achieve.
Candle crafting for Wicca or wizards can also include inscribing your candle with symbols or words that strengthen the message. If it’s a love spell, for example, you might want to draw a love heart.
Banishing Candle Spells
The destructive power of fire can be put to good use and used to perform banishing spells. If you need to target the negativity in your life, this is just what you need. It can be directed at feelings, a place or even a particular person if you feel that they are sending you bad energies but do not try to return the energy to them. It should not be about revenge but about making room in your life for the positive again.
Prepare some personal words to read while sitting in front of the candle, if you wish. Then blow out the candle and watch the smoke carry negative energies up and away from you and your life.
A candle spell ritual
If you don’t have time to experience the entire candle in one go, this doesn’t stop you from getting the full power of your spell candle. In fact, it can be very beneficial to do a ritual and perform your spell for a week. Pick the same time every night if you can and this will help really build the atmosphere. Your energies will be fresh as you do this in short bursts and you will also build up extra energy as you will be thinking about your spell all week.
I hope you can see that there is something for everyone in the candle spell. It’s the perfect way to get started on some simple and fun spells too. Wicca candle crafting and witch launchers can of course be much more complex, but I doubt many would resist the urge to return occasionally for such perfect simplicity!
