BLACK MAGIC CANDLE MAGIC
Friday, April 27, 2007
1 One of the simplest of magical arts which comes
under the heading of natural magic is candle burning. It is simple because it
employs little ritual and few ceremonial artifacts. The theatrical props of
candle magic can be purchased at any department store and its rituals can be
practiced in any sitting room or bedroom.
2 Most of us have performed our first act of candle
magic by the time we are two years old. Blowing out the tiny candles on our
first birthday cake and making a wish is pure magic. This childhood custom is
based on the three magical principals of concentration, will power and
visualization. In simple terms, the child who wants his wish to come true has to
concentrate (blow out the candles), visualize the end result (make a wish) and
hope that it will come true( will power).
3 The size and shape of the candles you use is
unimportant, although highly decorative, extra large, or unusually shaped
candles will not be suitable as these may create distractions when the magician
wants to concentrate on the important work in hand. Most magicians prefer to
use candles of standard or uniform size if possible. Those which are sold in
different colors for domestic use are ideal.
4 The candles you use for any type of magical use
should be virgin, that is unused. Under no circumstances use a candle which has
already adorned a dinner table or been used as a bedroom candle or night-light.
There is a very good occult reason for not using anything but virgin materials
in magic. Vibrations picked up by secondhand materials or equipment may disturb
your workings and negate their effectiveness.
5 Some magicians who are artistically inclined prefer
to make their own candles for ritual and magical use. This is a very practical
exercise because not only does it impregnate the candle with your own personal
vibrations, but the mere act of making your own candle is magically potent.
Specialist shops sell candle wax and moulds together with wicks, perfumes, and
other equipment.
6 The hot wax is heated until liquid and then poured
into the mould through which a suitably sized wick has already been threaded.
The wax is then left to cool and once is this has occurred the mould is removed
, leaving a perfectly formed candle. Special oil-soluble dyes and perfumes can
be added to the wax before the cooling process is complete to provide suitable
colors and scents for a particular magical ritual. Craft shops which sell candle
making supplies can also provide do-it-yourself books explaining the
technicalities of the art to the beginner.
7 Once you have purchased or made your ritual candle
it has to be oiled or 'dressed' before burning. The purpose of dressing the
candle is to establish a psychic link between it and the magician through a
primal sensory experience. By physically touching the candle during the dressing
procedure, you are charging it with our own personal vibrations and also
concentrating the desire of your magical act into the wax. The candle is
becoming an extension of the magician's mental power and life energy.
8 When you dress a candle for magical use, imagine
that it is a psychic magnet with a North and a South pole. Rub the oil into the
candle beginning at the top or North end and work downwards to the half-way
point. Always brush in the same direction downwards. This process is then
repeated by beginning at the bottom or south end and working up to the middle.
9 The best type of oils to use for dressing candles
are natural ones which can be obtained quite easily. Some occult suppliers will
provide candle magic oils with exotic names. If the magician does not want to
use these, he can select suitable oils or perfumes from his own sources. The
oils soluble perfumes sold by craft shops for inclusion in candles can be
recommended.
10. The candles you use can be colored in accordance with
the following magical uses:
| White | Spirituality and peace |
| Red | Health, energy, strength, courage, sexual potency. |
| Pink | Love affection and romance. |
| Yellow | Intellectualism, imagination, memory and creativity |
| Green | Fertility, abundance, good luck and harmony |
| Blue | Inspiration, occult wisdom, protection and devotion |
| Purple | Material wealth, higher psychic ability, spiritual power and idealism |
| Silver | Clairvoyance, inspiration, astral energy and intuition |
| Orange | Ambition. career matters and the law. |
11 If you wanted to use candle magic for healing, you would select a red
candle to burn. To pass an exam, burn a yellow candle, to gain esoteric
knowledge burn a blue candle or for material gain, burn a purple one. It is
obvious these colors relate to the signs of the zodiac and the planetary
forces.
12 The simples form of candle magic is to write down
the objective of your ritual on a virgin piece of paper. You can use color paper
which matches the candle. Write your petition on the paper using a magical
alphabet, such as Theban, enochian, malachain, etc. As you write down what you
want to accomplish through candle magic-- a new job, healing for a friend, a
change of residence, a new love affair, etc.-- visualize your dream coming true.
Visualize the circumstances under which you might be offered a new job, imagine
your employer telling you that your salary has been increased or conjure up a
vision of your perfect love partner.
13 When you have completed writing down your petition,
carefully fold up the paper in a deliberately slow fashion. Place the end of the
folded paper in the candle flame and set light to it. As you do this concentrate
once more on what you want from life.
14 When you have completed your ritual, allow the
candle to have completely burned away. You do not need to stay with the candle
after the ritual, but make sure that is is safe and that red-hot wax will not
cause damage or fire. Never re-use a candle which has been lit in any magical
ritual. IT should only be used in that ritual and then allowed to burn away or
be disposed of afterwards.
15 If you are conducting a magical ritual which
involves two people (e.g. an absent healing for a person some distance away)
then the second person can be symbolically represented during the ritual by
another candle. All you need to do is find out the subject's birth date and burn
the appropriate candle for that zodiacal sign. These are as follows-
| ARIES | red |
| TAURUS | green |
| GEMINI | yellow |
| CANCER | silver |
| LEO | orange |
| VIRGO | yellow |
| LIBRA | pink |
| SCORPIO | red |
| SAGITTARIUS | purple |
| CAPRICORN | black |
| AQUARIUS | all colors |
| PISCES | mauve |
