Candle Magick: A Basic Guide to the Art





Research your spell - colors, herbs, gems, moon and astrological phases.
Create a visualization for your intent, a symbol, maybe a rune? Light incense
and cast your sacred circle. Invoke the deities needed for your work. Relax,
ground and center. Now you need to purify the candle. Pick it up and anoint
with  blessed olive oil or rub with salt and say:
Creature of wax
Be clean and pure.
On this night
I bless  this candle

Using your athame or the sharp end of a quartz gem, carve into the candle
your desire (a symbol or just write what you need). Be specific! Verbally
affirm it. Next, rub the candle with the appropriate essential oil for your  needs,
while visualizing your goal. If you are drawing energies towards you, rub
the oil from the top to the base towards you. If you are banishing, rub away
from you. Place the candle in the holder. To add extra herb power to your spell,
  sprinkle the right herb for your need around the base of the holder,
clockwise  (deosil). Place any gemstones needed at the foot of the holder. Once
again,  focus on your goal and place your hands on either side of the candle.
Imagine  your goal forming into a silver orb, full of your intent, in between your
hands.  Release it into the candle! Now light the wick and say something like:

With this fire
I light my desire
Earth mother bless this,  my intent
And bring it to be
With harm to none and help to thee
Tis  my will
So shall it be!

Leave the candle to burn for a minimum of 20 minutes. Some spells may require
  you to regularly burn the candle -- every night -- until it has burnt down.
It  is done!

Medicinal Pickled Garlic

  I have been making this wonderful Medicinal Pickled Garlic for years Here is the original recipe that I use. I want to share with you. I use this in recipes when I need some healing magick or just on it's own for real strength and healing. It is so good and so good for you. It takes awhile to peel all those garlic but it's well worth it, I separate each garlic into pieces and then I take a large knife and slightly smash each clove. makes it so much easier to peel each clove, I use each and every clove small and large and sperate them into the jar. Any honey will work and I buy Apple cider vinegar by the gallon because we use it for so many things. Medicinal Pickled Garlic  According to Gladstar’s book, “Garlic is the herb of choice in treating colds, flu, sore throats and poor or sluggish digestion… makes a potent internal and external antiseptic, antibacterial, and antimicrobial agent effective for treating many types of infection.”   That is some powerful stuff!  There is m

Ears-OLD WIVES TALES, SUPERSTITIONS, OMENS AND FOLKLORE

EARS While the superstition of burning ears dates back years, there is no real indication of where it came from. Many superstitions that still exist today date back to the medieval days and are often rooted in pagan religions or the church. In the case of the burning ears, it is said that if your ears are burning, someone is talking about you. Now if you want to know if they are saying good things or bad things, remember this " Left for love, Right for spite! ". If your right ear itches, someone is speaking well of you. If your left ear itches, someone is speaking ill of you. Pinch your ear, and the person talking of you will bite his own tongue. If the right ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking well of you; if the left ear burns, it is a sign that some one is thinking unkindly of you; but if both ears burn, friend and foe are fighting about you. - Pennsylvania.
