Anointing a candle ~

Anointing a candle ~

Many people like to burn a candle to focus on their magical intent and to send the magic on its way.

To anoint a candle, hold it horizontally in front of you.

With your forefinger, place one or two drops of oil in the centre and using both hands, spread the oil from the centre to the ends while visualising your goals.

When you are certain the candle is covered, but not dripping with oil, place it in a holder and light it.

Spend a moment or two visualising the power of the magic taking hold and moving out to its destination.

Ideally the candle should be allowed to burn all the way down, but as you must never leave a burning candle unattended, it is permissable to extinguish it and relight it at a later time.

However this should only be done for the same intent and should take place within 3 days at the starting of the magic.
