The Purpose of this guide to candle burning.
The purpose of this practical guide to the ancient magical art of candle burning (C/B) is simple to de-mystify it’s practice, and give every ordinary man and women the chance to at last obtain what he or she wants from it’s use! In recent years, a plethora of new C/B books have come on the market supposedly, say their authors, to make the ancient five cult accessible to the modern layman. Instead of making “fire magic” more accessible they seem instead only to confuse and bewilder the readers they are presumable trying to help!
We do not intend to confuse you with an awkward array of mystical verbiage. We are here to demonstrate absolute simplicity of effective C/B magic. For the first time you will be actually able to cast spells immediately and powerfully with just the help of this guide and ordinary, common candles! Naturally, our words here are mainly directed to the novice in such matters. This guide is not for experienced occultists.
Strangely shaped candles, herbs and incenses are not required here. What this guide promises you is heartening results from simple actions!
2 - Candle Burning is For Everyone
From time immemorial priests, saints, occultists and sooth-sayers, have burnt candles to make wishes come true. Burning candles for this purpose is a cornerstone of practice in both religious establishments such as the Catholic, Greek and Russian churches, and the “dis-established” religions of witchcraft and paganism. Ironically, Roman Catholics and Pagan/Witchcraft religious practices in general originate from the same sources. This, in fact, is one of the major points of criticism by opponents of both Catholicism and Witchcraft. Whilst most Roman Catholics throw their hands up in horror at even the remotest suggestion that their Church is founded on paganism”, “anti-Catholics” (i.e. Protestant extremists) can point, quite rightly, to a long list of similar beliefs and practices of Roman Catholicism to those of Paganism/Witchcraft. All of which is extremely odd and paradoxical indeed when one considers the Catholic Church’s notorious history of persecution and butchery of witches!
However, we are not here to become involved in a theological debate, and we imply no criticism of Catholicism for perpetuation religious ideas that are basically Pagan in concept. We wish merely to convey the thought that C/B itself is a universal spiritual practice. Because this guide is written and published by sources sympathetic to occult philosophies should not make the reader alienated from its instruction and purpose. Those of traditional religious persuasion are not being asked to compromise their beliefs. Enrich their beliefs perhaps yes, but not to compromise them.
Critics of Christian churches that endorse C/B say that pagan peoples of the ancient world also did the same thing; paganism and sorcery go hand in hand, these critics say, and are therefore “of the Devil”. Anything that steps outside of these crities rigid interpretation is under “the sway of Satan”, Hence the rather strange and quite widespread belief that innocuouns practices such as fortune telling, reading the stars, are considered “evil”. Of course the Catholic church doesn’t endorse fortune telling or astrology, but its many ritualistic practices and beliefs in a hierarchy of saints and angels, resembles closely the paganistic religious structure of the pre Christian era.
Paganism and Witchcraft, on the other hand, are undesirable closely linked and are often one and the same thing. The deities and rituals of modern day witchcraft are very close in kind to the religious cults that precede Christianity.
The fact is that the desire to burn candles to fulfil wishes is a universal need that crosses all religious barriers, not counting extremist sects, of course. Candle burning is magic in it’s simplest form. Light a candle and make a wish and you will see for yourself.
In this guide you will discover the private and personal joy of expressing wishes in this way. Whatever your problem, you will find immediate consolation when you light a candle.
3 -The Modus Operandi of Candle Burning.
Whilst C/B exerts an undeniable psychological effect, its magical effect is often much greater. By the term “magical” we mean the occurrence of phenomena and events that have no “rational” or Logical explanation. Candles when burnt on a regular basis and with a definite objective in mind, become not only instruments of psychological and emotional comfort, but also powerful aids to magical manifestation.
We are speaking here of magical manifestations on a practical mundane level, not the magical phenomena of spirit appearances, etc. Rather we are referring to the solution of insoluble problems, the attainment of ambitious goals, the fulfilment of wishes – all of which is “magical” if materialisation of these things cannot be achieved in the normal course of personal endeavour and application.
To achieve such magical answers to personal wishes and problems it is for one to adhere to certain essential requirements. A haphazard programme of “burning the occasional candle” with no real objective in mind will not achieve much. Candle burning should be a serious and calculated business.
The modus operandi of successful C/B is based on three fundamental precepts:
1. THE CANDLE BURNER SHOULD KNOW EXACTLY AND PRECISELY WHAT HE/SHE WANTS.
2. THE CANDLE, BEING IMPRESSED BY THE CANDEL BURNERS DESIRE, BECOMES A RECEPTACLE OF THAT DESIRE.
3. THE GRADUAL CONVERSION OF THE CANDLE INTO THE ELEMENT OF FIRE IS AN ALCHEMICAL TRANSFERENCE FROM MATTER TO SPIRIT.
The candle burner’s desire, in effect, is transmitted from his or her’s own consciousness into spirit/universal consciousness via the medium of the candle. The candle is therefore your link with the Universal Mind, which is the source of all knowledge and all “miracles”. Fire represent spirit, and universal consciousness is spirit as opposed to matter, which is created by the flame of the candle.
We shall now proceed to see how to use this “alchemical process” to best effect.
4. Planets, Colours and Vibrations
The most straightforward way of employing candle burning magic to achieve your aims is simply to burn an ordinary white candle every day until your desire(s) is realised. This is the art at its simplest. There is nothing wrong with this although the authors of most C/B manuals would have you believe that such simplicity would never work in place of the complicated rituals that they prescribe. However, understanding and utilising the role of the planetary bodies and their associated colours can obtain better results from C/B.
In the occult view of the universe every heavenly body is possessed by the spirit of a great god. In our solar system each of the planets, including the sun and moon, are both the expression and domain of very important deities. It is from this belief in “planetary gods” that the occult science of Astrology is derived.
Each of these “planetary gods” exerts very distinctive influences on all that happens on this planet and its habitats. Their influence is all pervasive, and is strongly evident in all matters sacred and secular.
The modern occultist, like the Jew and the Christian, believes in an ultimate divine source know as “God”, the “Infinite”, the “Eternal”, “Life Force” etc., but he/she believes also in a vast hierarchy of gods, goddesses, angels, demons, that lay between this “ultimate God” and our own tiny consciousness. These “minor deities” act as a kind of “intermediary” between the occultist and the ultimate “God in much the same way as the Virgin Mary, St Joseph, St John and all the other Roman Catholic saints act as “intermediate” between the Catholic supplement and Jesus/or “God the Father”.
There are some would say that they would rather “go direct” to “God” rather than “waste time” with mere intermediaries. In practical candle burning you can get the best of both worlds by invoking the help of “intermediaries” and direct communication with the “ultimate” God. The intermediaries with whom we are concerned with here are the Lords of their planets Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Saturn and the sun and moon. They will help your efforts greatly by invoking their individual vibrations. This is very simple. You can “tune in” to the vibrations of any of the planetary Lords by utilising a colour associated with them. All colours are rich in symbolism and facilitate an instant contact with whatever vibration you are seeking to influence. This you can do by using candles with the appropriate colour of the planetary Lord whose help you desire. The colours of the seven planetary: Lords are as follows.
SUN: Gold, orange, yellow
MOON: White, silver
MARS: Red
MERCURY: Yellow
JUPITER: Blue
VENUS: Green
SATURN: Deep blue, black, red.
The planetary Lords Pluto, Neptune and Uranus are not included as their influences are more subtle and outside of the practical requirements of this guide.
In addition to burning the appropriate colour you can gain further favourable vibrations by commencing your rituals on the day ruled by the appropriate deity. The days of the seven planetary Lords are as follows:
SUN: Sunday
MOON: Monday
MARS: Tuesday
MERCURY: Wednesday
JUPITER: Thursday
VENUS: Friday
SATURN: Saturday
Each of the planetary Lords exercises a powerful influence in their respective areas of ruler ship. By studying the following table you can choose the appropriate Lord that rules your area of concern.
SUN: Health, Confidence, Persuasion
MOON: Women, Emotions, Home
MARS: Energy, Sex, Courage
MERCURY: Intelligence, Mental Ability, Attraction
JUPITER: Protection, Law, Business
VENUS: Love, Peace, Harmony, Beauty, Money
SATURN: Destruction, Confusion, Self-Discipline
Logically for a love problem one chooses Venus to help, for improved concentration or memory one looks to Mercury, and for help in a legal matter Jupiter. However, the reader should not fret about having to remember all these points of planetary Lords, colours, days etc., for in the over 100 detailed C/B rituals that follow later everything you need to know for each ritual is carefully explained. We explain the points outlined now for the reader who wishes to create his /her own spells and rituals to suit this/her own needs. It is not incumbent upon the reader to use only the rituals given on my website, anyone can create their own formulae from getting what they want providing they stay within the basic guidelines for C/B success.
However, the instructions that follow in the next Chapter should be followed by all readers irrespective of whether they intend to use the rituals on my website.
5 – How to Employ C/B For Success and Fulfilment
It is essential that the simple but very important instructions that follow are adhered to carefully in order to get the best and most effective results from your C/B rituals.
One should always conduct one’s rituals in the same place every time. Preferably it should be a place private to you such as a bedroom rather than a place like a kitchen or a living room where the mixed vibrations of other people are ever present, even when they are physically not there. If you have no choice but to use such a place frequently used by others then so be it. It may impede the results of your C/B, but success should still come.
You will need, or course, candle holders, should you not already have some. You should be ever mindful of the fire-risk inherent in burning candles; an insecurely held candle that slips on to a flammable material can have your home going up in smoke in no time. Do be careful. It is necessary. Too, that you always use new candles and NEVER candles that have been used by someone else or that you yourself have burnt for another purpose. The candles must always be new and used exclusively for the same purpose and none other. The same candle used for different purposes is a bad candle because vibrationally its power is negative or even destructive.
The working are for your ritual is called an “altar” and it can be a table, a chest, a desk; even the floor, if nowhere is available or practical. But wherever or whatever it is it should always be the same place. Do not change your mind every other second day; again you will be confusing vibrations, which will undermine the efficacy of your rituals.
Usually you will need only one candle for each performance of a ritual. This is contrary to the instructions of almost every other C/B book where all kinds of different candles are required for each individual ritual performed. We are sparing you such complications because they are not necessary for success with your workings. This elaboration’s have their place in occult work, but are outside the requirements of the reader of this guide. The rituals you get in this guide are every bit as effective as those anywhere else, perhaps even more so as the element of simplicity is in strong play in them, which is a very powerful and useful advantage.
Before you burn any candle you will need to “bless” and “anoint” it, the purpose of which is to free it of any negative vibrations, which it may have contained before you, purchased same, and to imbue it with your own positive will. The first thing you do is clean the candle with a wet sponge and then leave it to dry. You next bless it with the following words.
Cleansed and Blessed
Are Thee,
Now to Perform
Thy Service for Me.
Now use the tip of a knife, or a needle and inscribe onto the candle surface the name of the person or problem you seek to overcome. In the case of a person inscribe his or her’s first name, or if you do not know the name simply inscribe the word “him” or “her”. By personalising the candle in this manner you are magically making the candle this person. Magically, this person is now under your control and providing you follow the other instructions correctly it will be quite impossible for him or her not to do what you want. C/B is not child’s play. It is serious business and the results are serious. If it is a problem to which you seek a solution inscribe the name of the problem. For example if loneliness is your problem just write “loneliness”. If you need a change of luck inscribe “luck”, and so on. Before you have even lit the candle and cast your spell you have gained power over the matter you seek to change by making this inscription.
Having blessed your candle and inscribed your wish on its surface you now anoint it with oil. This must be with vegetable oil only. Apply the oil at the candles centre and slowly go to the top of the candle and back to the centre. Next go from the centre – slowly – to the bottom before again returning to the centre. Do not go from top to bottom in one full swoop: it must be done exactly as stated. Your mind should also be firmly fixed on the purpose for which you want to burn the candle whilst you are anointing it: if your mind is on something else the chances of obtaining success from your endeavours are considerably reduced.
Most occultists feel that the burning of incenses with candles is a must. This is based on the belief that the fumes of incense going up into the air act as a “message carrier of one’s petition or desire” to the gods. The aroma of incense is also a good aid to concentration and gives an added “lift” to the vibration and tone of a ritual. However, we do not believe that incense is indispensable to occult work, certainly not to C/B rituals. It is worth bearing in mind that the smoke from incense leads to inevitable rapid staining of the ceiling, a point which may deter the house-proud reader. For those who wish to try incense it is first necessary to purchase a censer (for holding the incense). There are a wide range of incenses available, in cone and stick shape and our advice about choice is simply to buy that which appeals to you. Most incense are of either Indian or Chinese origin. The former is usually preferable to the latter as the Chinese usually tends to be too sweet and over-scented. Specially prepared incenses for ritual work are available from occult supply houses. These are said to be more potent because they are made specifically with witchcraft and tribalism in mind. We think their importance is exaggerated, and purchasing same can be risky because some of the occult supply houses are invariably unreliable, are here today and gone tomorrow, and slow to deliver. Readers who wish to try their luck, however, can locate mail order occult supply sources advertising in such magazines as “Prediction” in England and “Fate” in the USA. These monthly magazines are easily available and can be ordered from your newsagent if not in stock. “Ordinary” incense itself can be purchased at almost any department store.
We would like to stress again that you do not need to have incense in order to make your cancel burning ritual successful: it is merely an “optional extra”, helpful but not essential. We would also like to point out that not even coloured candles are vital to your success; they are certainly more important than incense, but it is not a life and death matter if you do not use them. Coloured candles – especially the “popular” colours such as blue, red, yellow etc, - are available at almost every good department store and supermarket. A white candle will do when no other colour is available for you to use.
The really important thing in C/B is the magical act of transferring your desire from your consciousness to Universal Consciousness via the candle. The candle acts as a “medium” between your wish and its fulfilment, and a connecting link between your lesser consciousness and the greater consciousness. That you understand this and treat the matter sincerely and with faith is what truly counts; all the other matters are details to help you on your way, but do not constitute the difference between success and failure. So long as you believe that the candle will do the job for you will succeed. Having the right coloured candles, and speaking the spells correctly, on the correct days, will not work for you if your belief and understanding is lacking.
Using coloured candles gives you a link with the planetary Lords, as explained earlier, but their importance should not be over-estimated in view of what was said in the foregoing statements. The planetary Lords, whose vibrations are invoked by the appropriate coloured candles, are very influential in acting on your behalf, but their role, as intermediary does not guarantee success. This is why elaborate occult rituals fail so dismally for many people because too much attention is given to superfluous content of the rituals rather than the basic heart of the matter. We can illustrate this point by observing the businessman who succeeds in spite of obstacles and lack of capital because of his desire and determination. Another man with plenty of capital and all the right “connections” fails to succeed because of a lack of desire and know-how. The analogy can be drawn directly with the person burning candles for success.
If for any reason you cannot obtain coloured candles for your purpose then use ordinary white ones which are most easily obtainable, Whatever you do, Do NOT use another colour in place of a suggested colour. For example do not use green when the suggested colour is red, or brown when you should use blue, and so on. You must keep to the colour(s) suggested and not employ other coloured substitutes. Only white should act as a substitute because the very absence of colour in plain white negates any possibility of mixing colour vibrations to your detriment. Using the wrong colour will not harm in most cases, but it will work against you rather than for you, making your chances of success quite weak. When you are burning candles to solve a difficult problem you need all the help you can get – don’t blow your chances of solving it by using the wrong colours. Always keep to white if you can’t get the correct colour or if you are in a hurry to start a ritual and haven’t time to wait until the next time you go to town in order to buy the right one.
6 – Gaining the Help of the Moon
The moon, “Mistress of the Night”, is the most influential of the heavenly bodies, being the orb closest to us. Her influence is enormous in affairs both esoteric and exoteric and she is the single most important consideration in the timing of occult rituals of any kind. For the majority of the rituals given in this guide you should begin during the time of a waxing moon, that period between a New Moon and a Full Moon. She exerts a particularly favourable influence at this time, and is the period most important to all “white magicians” and all others employing the occult for good ends. Some rituals, however, should only be performed at the time of the Waning Moon, that period between Full Moon and the Dark of the Moon. Rituals to be performed at this time are clearly indicated. This is the best time for all spells and rituals of a negative and repelling nature: for driving away unlucky conditions, unpleasant situations, The Waxing Moon, on the other hand, favours spells that seek to attract and improve situations.
One period that should be studiously avoided is the time of the DARK of the MOON, which is usually for a duration of three days before the appearance of the New Moon. This period is favoured by practitioners of the so-called “Black Arts” for the “Mistress of Magic” is at her most negative then.
You can locate the dates for the phases of the moon in most calendars or in any astrology magazine.
7 – Getting Ready to Start
We have given you the “how of simple, successful C/B; the “do” is not up to you. I will supply you with some spells and rituals to follow. I will divide them into categories for easy reference. Every ritual incorporates a psalm from the Bible, which is only optional for you to read, in most cases. The psalms contain great occult power and have always been employed by Jewish magicians to accomplish their goals. We suggest you read psalms from the King James Bible, as the phrasing of its Old English is homologous with general ritual phraseology. Some of the psalms specified may seem irrelevant to the nature of your wish or desire, but let not this mislead you; remember they are rich in occult symbology which incorporates enormous vibrational energy. It is not necessary for you to understand this symbology, but it is incumbent upon you to believe that it will hep you.
Some people think that it is necessary to abstain from food and/or sex before performing an occult ritual. This is generally the case in the execution of what is called “High Magic”, but is it certainly not required for the simple C/B rituals that I will provide, it is not advisable, however, to do a ritual soon after a heavy meal or immediately after sex. The wearing of special apparel such as robes and so on, is also not required. Your normal clothing is perfectly in order providing it is not tight fitting. Tight garments hinder psychic flow.
Finally, we should remind you that candle burning should not be performed for fun or amusement. It should only be performed for real needs and desires. Doing a ritual “just for kicks” or “just to see what happens” will prove totally fruitless. Those who treat C/B irreverently, or any form of spiritual or occult operation, will gain nothing at best. The subject should be approached seriously and with a real spirit of belief. Do not speak the spells/psalms like a zombie: say the words with feeling and drama. Strong emotions gives irresistible power to ritual.
C/B works.
Try it and see.
