- For our pressing problem - replenishing energy, the mantra for the Spiritual Ascent of the Soul along the Golden Path is ideal: . In the Slavic language it sounds: “OH MYA PEDEME HUM” and is translated as: “I rise with my mind, I rise with my mind.” We sing the mantra out loud, the number of repetitions is a multiple of three.
- After building the energy channel, you can get up, but the candle must burn out to the end.

Attention, TODAY only!
One of the simplest magical actions that comes from natural magic is lighting candles. It is simple because it does not require the performance of a complex ritual and intricate ceremonial actions. Everything you need for candle magic can be bought at the store and the ritual can be performed in any place where you can sit quietly alone.
Many of us performed this ritual when we were children. Making a wish by blowing out the candles on your birthday cake is pure magic. This children's custom is based on three magical principles - concentration, wish and visualization. What happens when we blow out the candles at a birthday party is that we make a wish, visualize the result and concentrate while blowing out the candles. And what is a romantic dinner by candlelight if not a magical ritual with candles?
The size and shape of the candles used for the ritual are not that important. Although fancy, overly decorated or very large candles are inappropriate for such occasions. The reason is simple - all this can distract us from concentration, which is so important when performing magical actions. It is best to use medium-sized and regular-shaped candles. It is important to choose the right magical color for the candle, which is suitable for your ritual. The candle you want to use for the ritual must be virgin - in the sense that it has not previously been used for any purpose - neither for lighting nor for anything else. magical action. There is an occult explanation for this - the vibrations received by objects during previous use can prevent you from getting the magical result that you need, or reduce its effectiveness.
How to prepare a candle for a magical ritual
Candles can be used self-made and some prefer to make their own candles. It's easy to make your own candle using wax. If you make your own magic candle for a ritual, this is really the best option. In this case, you will be sure that the candle will be charged only with your personal energy, that no one has ever held a candle in their hands before you, and it has not absorbed any energy alien to you. In addition, even your actions when making a candle set you up for the ritual and help you concentrate better. The wax must be melted to a liquid state and then poured into a pre-prepared mold through which a wick is passed. Wait for the wax to cool and harden and remove it from the mold. Dye or perfume can be added to the wax to create a color and scent that suits your ritual.
So you bought or made your own candle. Now you need to cover it with magic oil. This is done to create a physical connection between you and the candle through a sensory experience. By touching the candle, you charge it with your personal energy and focus on the desire you intend to realize. This is how the candle absorbs magical mental power and vital energy. When you coat a candle with oil, think of it as a magnet that has two poles. Rub the oil into the base of the candle and gradually spread it all the way across the candle to the top where the wick is. Best type oils you can use are natural oils, they are quite easy to purchase. Some novice magicians strive to use exotic oils, believing that this way they will achieve best result in your practice. There is no need to strive for this, since this is not the main thing in magical practice.
In candle magic, the color of the candle is important. Depending on the goal that you want to achieve with the help of a magical ritual, the candle should be the color that is needed in this case.

How to perform a magical ritual with candles
The simplest form of a magical ritual with candles is this. Take a blank sheet of paper. The paper can be white or the same color as the candle. Write down on a piece of paper your desire that you want to realize. This could be a new job new love, change of residence, healing. Be sure to visualize the fulfillment of your desire; simply writing it down is too little to get a magical result. Imagine the realization of your intention, how you meet the man of your dreams, or are offered new job, or your boss announces an increase in your salary. Slowly and carefully roll up the paper on which your wish is written, hold the end of the paper to the candle flame and let the paper light up. Once again, focus on what you want to get. Allow the paper to burn completely, but do not blow out the candle, leave it to burn out, taking care of safety first. Make sure that the candle will not fall, the wax will not spill, and that there is no danger from fire. You don't have to be near the candle until it goes out; you can go about your business. Never reuse a candle for a magical ritual; it must burn completely.
When performing some magical rituals with candles, the involvement of two people is necessary. The second person can be symbolically represented by another candle. The color of the candle should match the zodiac sign that this person represents.
These are the correspondences.
Working with magic candles should always be divided into two main categories.
First when you need a candle in a magic ritual only as a source of fire, and no more. Then the requirements for the magic candles used are lower; you can take a completely ordinary candle. In such rituals, paramount importance is given to ensuring that the candle’s burning time is sufficient for the ritual being performed, that it does not go out during the process of magical work, and that it produces an even flame.
The second category includes candles - talismans. Such candles undergo serious testing before being used in a ritual. preliminary preparation. In essence, candles - talismans are powerful in themselves magic items. One of the simplest examples of a candle - a talisman - is a church, blessed candle. Such candles are used both in churches and in village magic, divination, which anyone can perform at home.
For some more complex rituals and ceremonies, the requirements for a candle-talisman may be significantly higher. For example, for part love spells They use only red wax candles that have not been previously lit and were not stored at the place where the ritual was performed.
The shape of the candle can also make a difference. There are love spell rituals that use the thinnest candles, which in the process of magical divination are intertwined with each other, symbolizing the connection between lovers.
However, there are special love spell rituals in which a candle is used repeatedly and must be lit during a cycle of (7) ritual effects.
The light from candles can also influence what area of magic they are used in. This is how red candles found their way into love magic, in a love spell. Black candles are traditionally used in cases of resorting to black magic, inducing damage, as well as when using black love spell rituals.
White candles can often be found in rituals of cleansing negativity, removing damage, and healing rituals.
Mixed colors of candles are also used in magic, but this is not so popular, because a candle, most often, should have a strong symbolic meaning, and different colors of a candle can lead to unnecessary mixing.
Candles, finished decorative elements, placed in glass cases equipped with frills or other artistic elements are not suitable for practical magic. Helium candles with different stars and tinsel embedded in the body of the candle are also not suitable. Scented candles should only be used if the description of the magical ritual clearly states that their use is acceptable.
By the way, in the picture you see a candle that is not suitable for magical work, because it has a heterogeneous structure - it is not red, but only covered with red paint. This is not suitable for love magic.
I will not go into the details of making complex magic candles (in some rituals the magician must prepare a candle exclusively on his own, consecrate it the right force, saturate with the necessary energies so that during combustion a powerful impulse is obtained), I’ll tell you how you can prepare an ordinary simple candle for a magical ritual.
So, it is best to purchase a candle in a color that suits your plans. The candle needs to be cleansed of the energies that it has already absorbed during production and transportation. To do this, cleanse with water by placing the candle in running water, after which it is dried and fumigated with incense suitable for your ritual.
For example, lavender incense is well suited for love magic purposes. This way you get a love spell candle that already contains some of the powers of love magic.
If you plan to carry out a ritual to remove damage, I recommend using white wax candles, purified water and fumigated with incense.
But I strongly warn you against using complex candles intended for strong magical rituals that you purchased in a store. My personal belief is that such candles should be made by a magician who is well versed in the intricacies of the work to be performed. In stores and online stores, among others, complex magic candles are passed off as those that have nothing to do with magic at all. Therefore, be careful, as the cost of error increases as you turn to increasingly powerful magical forces for help.
The practice of using magic candles suggests that it is not advisable to extinguish the candles after the ritual, except when this is indicated in the instructions for the magic ritual. Burning out completely, the candle develops and completely releases the intention of the magical effect that you created during the ritual.
Magic candles used in many rituals, including those associated with Moon phase .
So to the growing moon they light magic candles for rituals of attracting good luck, creation, development of some business, to improve health, love rituals (love spells and love divination).
During the waning moon candles are lit for rituals with destructive effects, removing obstacles, weakening magic, weight loss and causing trouble (creating damage to other negativity).
Finishing my story about magic candles, I want to note. Magic rarely causes immediate change. Therefore, if you cast a love spell with candles, do not expect that the relationship with your lover will change immediately. You usually have to wait some time for the effect. Do not rush things and do not despair if the magical ritual with candles does not bring you quick results. Concentrate your thoughts and forces and purposefully carry out a new impact. This is the only way you will not only take steps towards getting what you want, but also truly feel the magic that you intend to use.
Good luck with your magical work.
Read in the relevant articles). Important distinctive feature The ritual of Candle Magic is its flexibility. Most rituals can be adapted to suit any purpose. The purpose of a candle ritual can be to achieve material well-being, resolve a conflict, move up the career ladder, find a life partner, or to unlock creative potential and develop psychic abilities, obtaining information about future events and so on.
The ritual practice of Candle Magic is very diverse, it includes both simple rituals using the 1st candle, and complex rituals using many candles. Candle rituals are also divided into one-day rituals, when the ritual is carried out within one day, and multi-day rituals, when the ritual continues for several days.
The central element of Candle Magic is the candle. But not all rituals using candles are Candle Magic. A candle ritual differs from the simple use of a candle in that the main place in it is the correlation of the qualities and properties of the candle with the purpose of the ritual, as well as the appropriate preparation of the candle itself.
The Magic of Candles itself and its rituals are based on 4 principles: simplicity, harmony, purity and peace.
Simplicity. Basic principle of all rituals of Candle Magic, which can be formulated as follows: “if something in a candle ritual can be simplified without losing the quality of the ritual and without worsening its result, then it should be simplified.” But, despite the simplicity of the rituals of Candle Magic, they are very effective, efficient and require minimal costs.
Harmony. The candle ritual, by its nature, at different stages of its implementation, is a reflection of certain events that precede it and the cause of the events that follow it. It is the desire for harmony and paying attention to all the seemingly little things that gives the ritual of Candle Magic such effectiveness.
Purity. This principle applies to a greater extent to the altar of Candle Magic, which during the ritual becomes a reflection of that part of the world that is affected through the ritual. During the candle ritual there should be nothing unnecessary on the altar.
Peace. The principle that fundamentally distinguishes Candle Magic from Ritual Fire Magic. When performing a candle ritual, the Magician must be at rest, in special condition, which is characterized by stopping and maintaining internal silence, as well as visualizing the image of the goal of the ritual.
The magic of candles, unlike all other directions distinguished by sophistication and subtlety.
What kind of candles are used?
In order to choose suitable candles for a candle ritual, you need to be guided by some knowledge and principles. Using a high-quality magic candle in a Candle Magic ritual allows you to achieve the best results.
Composition of the candle. A magic candle consists of more than just candle mass and a wick. It is widely believed that in order to impart the necessary magical qualities, parts are added to the candle. various plants. If you add the plants themselves in dried form, this may affect the burning of the candle. When using a candle, plant fibers can act as additional wicks and then the candle flame will be too large, the burning will be uneven, and the candle will burn very quickly due to the melting and spreading of the candle mass. In this regard, it is recommended to use candles made with the addition of plant oil concentrates directly into the candle mass. Such candles have the same properties as candles with the addition of plants, and even surpass them in combustion characteristics.
Candle mass. In order for the candle to preserve everything magical properties, the candle mass from which they are made must contain at least 60%-80% beeswax. Otherwise, the candle will not have sufficient “energy intensity” and will act in the ritual as an ordinary light source. Store-bought factory-made candles, as a rule, consist of 100% stearin or paraffin, and the use of these candles in rituals gives very mediocre results.
Candle coloring. When choosing a candle, give preference to those candles that are made from colored candle mass; these candles have the same color, both inside and outside. But you may also come across doused candles; they are colored only on the outside, and are usually white on the inside. The use of dousing candles may slightly degrade the quality of the ritual.
Wick. Magic candles use wicks made from natural fibers. If desired, crushed plants or plant oil extracts can be added to them.
The use of good and high-quality magic candles for rituals can improve the quality of the ritual and enhance the effect of it. And, on the contrary, the use of low-quality candles made for beauty or room lighting can negate all efforts and prevent you from getting the desired effect from the ritual.
Inexperienced Magicians who use candles that are not suitable for rituals and do not receive the desired effects from the ritual tend to build illusory theories about the principles of Candle Magic. The most common misconception is the statement that the color, shape and material of the candle have no fundamental significance for the ritual, since all actions take place in the Magician’s head. This opinion does not reflect reality and characterizes its owner as a person unable to make all the necessary preparations for the ritual.
The best ritual candle is made for magical purposes from purified wax, fully colored and combined with plant extracts, and has a natural braided wick. You can make such a candle yourself or purchase it from a specialist.
Candle colors

Altar of Candle Magic
In various directions of Fire Magic there are different variants arrangement and decoration of the altar. The Magic of Candles is no exception. An altar suitable for a candle ritual is in many ways similar to a classic altar, with the peculiarity that fewer attributes are required to decorate it.
The Altar of Candle Magic looks like a square or, in extreme cases, a rectangular table, its sides oriented to the cardinal points. If you are using a rectangular table, you need to select a square area on it and use it. Just like on a classic altar, attributes that have a connection with the Elements are laid out in the corners (read more about the structure of a classic altar in the article - “Lesson 6.

The candles in the center of the altar symbolize people, events, phenomena and actions that appear in the world.
