Hi! First time poster. Had a question about candle magick and how candle spells work during retrogrades? Are there any book recommendations anyone can make?

I'm interested in doing some skull candle magick to help with my mental state, as well as a few other spells (love spell, success in career, etc) and from I know, retrogrades slow things down. How will this effect my spellwork?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Wed Dec 31, 2014 4:56 pm

Hello, BCAC,

Retrogrades are a mixed batch --

WHICH PLANET?

Slow planet retrogrades are not too devastating, because they go on for long periods, we are used to them, and the planets themselves are more generalized in their effects than the fast planets. Fast planet retrogrades, especially Venus and Mercury, are more problematic. Mars is sometimes included with those, in part because of its ability to predict wars.

So, speaking very broadly, the retrogrades most astrologers fret about are Mercury (communications), Venus (love), and Mars (activity).

WHAT TYPE OF SPELL WORK?

Since a skull candle deals with the mind, working it during a Mercury retrograde would generally not be advantageous.

If it was being worked for love, attempting the spell during Venus retrograde would also be disadvantageous.

If it was being worked to drive someone into an angry fury, Mars retrograde would delay or slow the procedure.

So, you see, there is no one answer for that question.

TRANSITING ASPECTS OF THE RETROGRADE PLANET TO OTHER PLANETS

But it gets much deeper:

The retrograde planet may be making a "good" (positive, supportive) aspect to any planet in the sky during the retrograde, and that would make the retrograde milder.

Conversely, the retrograde planet may be making a "bad" (conflicting, opposing) aspect to any planet in the sky during the retrograde, and that would make the retrograde more difficult or more negative.

TRANSITING ASPECTS OF THE RETROGRADE PLANET TO THE NATIVE'S NATAL PLANETS AND HOUSES

In natal astrology (birth chart astrology) the person whose chart we are looking at is called the "native" (from nativity, the birth). Each time a retrograde occurs, it will or will not make "good" or "bad" aspects to the natal planet of everyone on earth, and in the case of a skull candle, the natal chart of the target should be looked at: how does the retrograde aspect the native's natal-position planets and in what houses (sectors of the sky) are the retrograde planet and the natal planets located?

For example: if the native's natal Saturn is in the 6th house (health) and it is opposed to natal Pluto in the 12th house (secrets), the person will be prone to having health issues and secret enemies and undiagnosed illnesses. Then if, in addition, Mercury retrograde stands square to the both of these planets from the 3rd house (communication), there will be delays in getting medical help and a health collapse may ensue. If your hope was to use the skull candle for a love spell at this time, it would be inadvisable. If your intention was to cause someone to suffer a relapse of a long-hidden mental illness and a delay in diagnosis and treatment due to lack of communication between medical personnel, this would be a fairly advantageous time to do your worst.

IN CONCLUSION

The subject of astrology is too complex for me to answer your general question with a simple "how it will be" conjecture.

However, you can make some determinations for yourself by seeking out an astrologer who does elections (finds the best times to work a spell) or by applying the principles i have outlined here for yourself.

Good luck!

There is an upcoming retrograde coming up on the 21st. I need to lay a trick and I won't be able to do it till possibly during the retrograde. Nonetheless I have to drive upon hours to do so. Is there anything I can do to avoid getting screwed up. I was going to do a candle for safe travel. Is there any good aspects I could focus on for this upcoming retrograde.

Hello, Godislove ,

Can't you do your safe travel spell now??

I'm not an Astrologer. So, unless one sees this question, I don't know what to tell you about this particular retrograde. You might want to consult with an AIRR member who does know Astrology.

Hi everyone,

My FWP supplies were on back order for a while and were shipped yesterday (Jan 15 - as per last call to shop). I'm still doing my uncrossing run so this didn't worry me much, except it's now likely they'll arrive after the MR has begun (Jan 21-Feb 11).

My question is, am I good to proceed with the FWP after the uncrossing work is done regardless of the retrograde, or am I better off waiting till Feb 11?

Also, while on the subject of timing, is FWP considered a waning or waxing type of ritual?

Many thanks,
malamo

Hello, malamo,

I like Fiery wall during the waxing moon. But, always remember that if it's an emergency, moon phases ought not matter.

Use the FWP regardless of the retrograde. Just start again when it goes direct.

So, you're doing it twice.

I hope this helps

I know it's personal preference and some rootworkers do not pay attention to moon phases; however, last night was Tuesday (good for War) and the Full Moon so I started some break up work. I would like to begin some Love work this week with Wednesday being good for communication, Thursday for Domination and Friday for love and the hours of Venus; however, isn't it a Waning Moon now which is good for banishing, releasing and reversals? Would any love work I do until the moon changes to Waxing be counterproductive? Or does the Waning Moon not start for a few days after the Full Moon so I'm fine? Please advise!

P.S. Because I have a busy household, I haven't paid much attention to the hours of the day to do my spell work - that is when the clock hands are headed down (1:01 - 1:29) do banishing and spell work to rid me of something, and when the clock hands are on their way up (1:31-1:59) I do work to increase or bring me something. So being that I'm not paying attention to that...maybe it's not a big deal I disregard moon phases too? Idk

Thanks!!!

Karma_13,

I would still do the work just use the corespondeces that go with the work, friday for love, hour of Venus for love, proper color and oil for love. then for other work during this time i would add the moon phase so it is a friday and its a waxing moon so light candles for the love of others or your mans others love to dissolve as the moon shrinks.

I know it's a bumpy time but I woke up this morning thinking I shouldn't hold off on doing a Jinx Killer--on the bumpiest day of all!
I was dreaming of the Northern Lights and the colors were the jinx my ex-husband called out to me as we separated, cursing my money, my relationships, and my success. And just before I woke I saw it start swirling around like a flock of birds but moving like turbulence in a plane too. And then, just as with a flock, turn quickly and go in the opposite direction and the colors changed in the sky and settled. I know hoodoo is flexible and that's why I'm curious. I had been trying to wait until after the retrograde to do the work. If I use Jinx Killer right now with the focus on the shift from Jinxed to Free, would that work make sense? It sure seemed to be the message. Thanks! Q2B

I've wondered about sending a sneaky dusted & dressed greeting card via snail mail. I thought of including $$$ to ensure the person makes contact with it and dressing the corners (or a five spot) of each of the $$$ bills with a blend of Crossing Oil, Double Cross Oil, Inflammatory Confusion Oil, and Jinx Oil. I'm going to dress the greeting card and $$$ with Destruction, Damnation, Devil's & Black Arts

I had wondered if mailing this in either this year's Venus retrograde or one of the Mercury retrogrades would be more advantageous compared to the waning moon. I had thought that with idea of breaking communication apart with the oilblends coincides with the similar breakdown of Mercury retrograde.

However, An ideal time for them to receive a greeting card without arising any suspicion is during this year's Venus retrograde, (it's their bday during VR) but I dont' know if that's viable timing either. From what I've read here, and I can very well have misread and misinterpreted, but it doesn't seem like Venus Retrograde is that significant of a time, at least to alter my work around it. The other benefit of the this time is the bday is during the waning moon, which might be all i need.

I want to thank you all for taking the time to read and, if you reply, your comments are appreciated! Thank you!!

Hello Santiago,

My approach to planetary timing is to use it when it is convenient but I do not move my work around a whole lot based on what the planets are doing. Other people will vary of course as this is different with different workers. My advice would be to send dung the birthday, particularly with the moon being on your side. Also doing work during Mercury retrograde could possibly effect your own work as well so you avoid that by doing the work outside of that time! Hope this is helpful!

In regards to the Mercury Retrograde, I have read here on the forum that some suggest it's best not to start any new spells during this time. However, I have also seen it stated that Mercury Retrograde is a good time for breakup spells, causing fights/confusion etc.

My question is, would it be okay to START a breakup spell during the Mercury Retrograde? Or should I wait until Mercury goes direct before starting any spell at all?

Also, would it be pointless to perform, say a skull spell for love during the retrograde and then perform the EXACT same spell with another skull candle once Mercury goes direct just to reinforce the 1st spell in case the retrograde mucked the first one up?

Thanks in advance!

I'm about to start reconciliation work. I've ready through the post and see that Friday is the best day particularly at dawn. Unfortunately I won't have all my supplies until Sunday so I plan to start then because I don't want to wait another full week to get started. Therefore should I start at dawn on Sunday or during the Venus hour on Sunday? Secondly I googled the planetary hours for my city and noticed that there were several Venus hours in a single day. Does it matter which one I start with?

Thanks

Unread post by **Miss Athena** » Thu Feb 19, 2015 7:33 pm

Hi sheisblessed,

I also like to work by planetary hours whenever possible, so you're on the right track with picking the hour of Venus to start your spell. Yes, there will be 3 to 4 "hours of Venus" during any given day so pick the earliest one that you can, as it's best to do drawing work when the day is beginning.

If you work by moon phases, note that we are at the start of a waxing moon so the next two weeks is a very good time to work on bringing something to you.

One other thing to note - Venus and Mars will be in conjunct on the 21st (the closest they will be since 2008!), which will be a particularly auspicious time for love and romance. Use that to your advantage and pray over your work as much as you can on the 21st before starting the next morning. If it were me, I would start the work in the first hour of Venus after midnight on Sunday to leverage as much of that conjunct energy as possible.

I hope this helps. Good luck!

So unfortunately my supplies I need still haven't arrived. They are literally sitting at the post office down the street , which is closed on the weekend so I likely won't get it until tomorrow.

To take advantage of the Venus planetary hours last night I used a regular red candle and dressed it with reconciliation oil and rolled it sugar. Do you think this is a good placeholder until I can get everything for my honey jar which I'm now hoping will arrive on Monday.

I'm still doing everything during the Venus planetary hours.

Since the moon void of course happens so often what should I do when it happens and my candles are already set and burning? Should I out them? Or should I just let them sit? I do my spells based off of the moon phases so I want to know how to go about the timing with The VOC properly

Hi Everyone...I am confused. I am doing two things, a breakup candle and a love votive. Today is Friday (the day of Venus), but the moon is waxing...can I burn the love candle since the moon is waxing, although it's the day of Venus (Friday), and I will start burning it during the planetary hour of Venus? And, with the break up candle, can I burn it on today, Friday, the day of Venus, but during the planetary hours of Mars, during this waxing moon?

I have searched this forum for a similar answer. Please help...

Thank you

Unread post by **JayDee** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 7:02 pm

Classy ,

The moon is waning ( getting smaller) which is a time used to get rid of things or problems. Waxing is when the moon is getting bigger and used to draw things to you.Some workers use the moon some dont, some use planets others dont. One think many have in common is doing the work when its needed.So yes you can burn a candle during both parts of the moon, on friday during venus for that purpose. Yes you can also burn it on the hour of mars. Or wait till tomorrow and burn it which is a great day for negative work.

for anyone who is reading this hi,ill try to keep this brief so basically if you go to crown of success thread you'll see i a little bit of my history and where i am now i posted like 2 months ago. ever since I've come out of the darkness that has been my life. and reclaimed my own life, i have been working on every level and aspect of my self people i am talking,emotional in the aspects of feeling confident standing in my power stable, loving myself. spirituality has never been an issue, mentally I'm lucky because considering certain things I've been through-- geeze I'm still sane and sound of mind. I'm healthy go to the gym a lot and make sure hair clothes face everything is as best as can be I'm studying registered massage therapy soon as well.

i still get a lot of haters though, people really wanted e to be..dead basically or at least like crazy on the streets like destroyed basically. but god simply could not and would not allow it any who my point to all this is my love life is so empty and dry its sad people, i do my uncrossing herb bath and protection ritual wich does me good for a while stops all that bad hate from coming back but then months later. its like the spell wares off and I'm visible again. why is it i can't afford an air member I'm 19 living in toronto single with way to much expenses. personally i think i pick up so much evil eye my protection spells can only last so long against that, but also it just angers me I've come so far and worked so hard to be where i am now.i have a lucky red clover x3 coming look me over vigil glass and fmb and bewitching crystals and sachet. but I'm concerned that they won't work because I'm so harassed by wicked people....seriously i am harassed. people in my portuguese neighbourhood are so evil. and i get a lot of envious people.

every time i meet a man or a potential they never last or all of a sudden they are uninterested out of no where just out of the blue or they say i make them angry and they can't explain why they just turn sour sometimes if I'm alone with someone they'll say i pick up a lot of bad energy ? don't have this proble with females only men who are gay not even straight men.i honestly need help

i have hoodoo honey and sugar spells and there are formulas to attract positive energy and and attract love and good things all around I'm thinking another protection spell and uncrossing spiritual bath. then doing the sweet positivity drawn sugar baths to attract and keep good things near me with road opener tweaked for love and things of positivity, what do you guys think

and then after all that i will finish off the lcky red clover. anything and everything you guys suggest is appreciated.

May I make a suggestion to your plans? I think that they are all good But this is what I would add:

Do the uncrossing first. Then the protection. Then a Blockbuster ( www.luckymojo.com/blockbuster.html) then your road opener and then your positive/sweet work.

Hello Nethaera,

There really is not one right answer to your questions. It really can vary form worker to worker. I know of folks who do not do any work during retrogrades and some folks who could care less about where Mercury is or what it is doing. Other folks work during Mercury retrogrades but do things to mitigate the effects of the retrograde such as keeping a Mercury vigil candle lit during this time. Ultimately you will just have to see what works best for you. I honestly do not know how a Mercury retrograde would effect a Break Up work. I suppose it could be helpful in terms of messing up their communication.

I do think it is fine to start your Break Up work during the retrograde and see what happens! You can always repeat the work later as you suggested if you feel it mucked up your work in any way.

Question about Mercury being in retrograde...

I am doing both break up work on my ex and his current, and also return to me on my ex and me. I initially thought about holding off on all spell work until Mercury goes direct (after June 11th); however, that's a LONG time (like 3 weeks) and I like what Natstein said in an earlier post about doing break up work DURING the retrograde because it could mess up communication between the two of them.

Should I also continue my love work to counter any miscommunications that might happen between the two of us, or what would anyone suggest? I know it's probably entirely up to each individual person and how they feel about the planets and their work, and each rootworker will probably differ on their opinion...but I don't want to repeat work nor do I want it to have an adverse effect if I'm doing something when I should have taken a break.

Can I start a freezer spell during this time? Lay tricks? Continue candles on my honey jar? I'm so confused and I hate holding off wasting precious time...I'm NOT one to sit and wait!

Thanks for your input!!!

I understand which days of the week are the best to start different types of spells. My question is, what if I were doing a single spell with more than one intention? For example, a come to me or love spell with a break up using figural candles. I know that a love spell should be done on a Friday and break up spells can be done on a Tuesday or Saturday. Another example: I am considering a success/failure spell between two people using figural candles: a white figural candle dressed with Crown of Success and I Can, You Can't oil along with a black figural candle of the other person dressed with Jinx and Confusion oil. A success spell should be done on a Sunday, whereas a jinx or curse should be done on a Saturday. Should I choose the day of which intent is more important? The love aspect is the primary intent, so should I start the work on a Friday? As for the latter spell, it is more important to me for that certain person to win, so should I start that spell on a Sunday?

Shaunlaveau · Unread post by **Shaunlaveau** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 12:42 am

Hi,

Personally when it comes to spell that have many desired effects, I would suggest that you spread the work out over the course of several days. For example If I was going to do a break up I would use a seven knob candle for the break up part and on the last day of the seven knob I do the come to me ritual. So it probably best that when workings like that arise you spread them over several days.

Unread post by **JayDee** » Thu Jun 11, 2015 11:09 am

crazycatlady ,

It is not uncommon to work to spells at the same time one to repeal and one to draw. IF doing break up and its a moving candle from one to a new person then I would do friday. If doing two different jobs then start on the respective day, or you can do one on friday during the rising sun to draw the love and the other on the sunset to take the love away.. both use friday both use the planetary influence and the sun but in a different way to effect the work.

Hello, crazycatlady ,

Just for a change of thought (as rootworkers do things differently), I would start my break up on Saturday then slowly move the target toward you. By Friday, his candle and your candle would merge..

Hola,

My apologies if this post is in the wrong subforum- I'm trying here

. Here's my question:

It is my understanding that we perform spells to invoke a change in a situation. So, when I read a horoscope or get a reading and it tells me about an outcome in the near future, does it take into account the fact that I am going to do spells? Do the spells have the power to alter the outcome?

Here are some examples:

Her horoscope says she will have a great week, but I'm doing cursing work on her. Will my cursing work change her horoscope?
A reading says there will be some delays with obtaining a certain job. Is that factoring in that I'm working open path already, or will the open path bust the obstacles/delays out of the way sooner?

Hope this question is clear. Just me overanalyzing things.

Thank you, Miss Aida. So, since I am just looking at a general horoscope, it may not even apply to her personal case anyway. Others of her sign could be slated to have a good week, and that may not even apply to her anyway.

What about spiritual readings? Do they tell me about an event that is going to occur based upon work that I am already doing to make the event occur? Or do they tell me what is going to happen, and then I can do spells to change it or speed it up, etc? Or is it that the reading is telling me a final outcome, and nothing can change that outcome?

So, there is a blue moon on July 31st. I was told that spells cast on that night would be very potent. Is this the belief in Hoodoo?

What are the types of spells suggested for this night? I am in need of love, wealth and health (to name a few) lol! Are these good to cast that night? Would it be too much to do several spells on that night, given that I am not too experienced in this work?

Hi EmpoweredbyLove,

This is a very interesting question that would be best answered by someone with a better understanding of astrology than I possess. I do know that the full moon is generally regarded as a good time for any kind of spell, and a blue moon may simply amplify that energy. Then again, many rootworkers do not take moon phases into consideration at all when timing their spells.

Having said that, I can tell you that it may be too much for you to do several spells at a time, as that simply divides your energy and focus. I would work on what is most meaningful to you at that time, and see what kinds of results you get.

Good luck!

For instance, asking for a man to hire you for a job would best be worked during job hours, a sex spell might best be undertaken in the evening hours of relaxation, and a spell to influence someone's dreams for good or for ill would best be undertaken at night.

What kind of spell are you talking about?

Peace~

Nathen

Hello everyone. I have a question. This morning, Thursday, July 16, I went and blew some Reconciliation and Return to Me Sachet Powders toward my boyfriend's home - it was dark. My boyfriend is unrelenting and is being unrealistic with his decision to say that we're done...he is angry because of a text that I sent my friend that had her first cousin's name in the text (her first cousin, who is also my friend (in a non romantic way), I believe, is in love with me). The text was really innocent, but when my boyfriend asked to see the text, I knew that he would misinterpret and form his own opinion about it. I didnt let him see my phone to read the text, and i ended up deleting it. Now, he won't talk to me - he has my number on call block. On my way to his house this morning, I checked the Planetary hours, and I didn't change the date from yesterday, and I blew the Powders actually during the end of the hour of Mars. (I realized this when July 16 popped up on my phone an hour later - I put in the table for the date, July 15, which I thought that it was). Is this ok? Will Mars, I guess I can say, understand? I did pray over it, read Psalms 32, and asked that my boyfriend will unblock my number and that he will forgive me, call, text, and come to see me all of the time, and reconcile with me. Am I ok with doing this mistakenly during the hours of Mars on a Thursday? I really want him back - I love him so...

Thank you for your help.

Classy

Hello, Classy,

That's absolutely fine.

Although many rootworkers do indeed work with these hours, I NEVER pay attention to planetary hours and the spells work just fine.

I hope your spell works expeditiously.

Take care

Hello natstein,

I meant for any spell in general. However, you answered my question. It varies, depending on the spell.

Hey everyone! New here - what a great site! I found the forum after ordering some spell supplies.

I have a question...when you perform a spell, what do you consider to be the most important in relation to the timing of your spell?

Do you try to begin your spell on a day when

The Moon is in the appropriate zodiac sign for what you are doing? (i.e., Scorpio or Capricorn if it is black magic, Leo if it is for luck, money, charisma, etc.)

Or, do you think it more important to time it with the phase of the Moon? How powerful is the Full Moon regardless of the sign the Moon is in?

Or, are there other things more important to you when timing your spells appropriately?

Or (lol) does it even matter to you at all?

I would love to hear everyone's thoughts as I typically tend to go with the zodiac sign.

S

Now, many rootworkers many not follow some or all these guidelines. And many do. So, it's solely up to you to decide what to do for your spells.

Wishing you the best

take care

I have a question regarding Crown of Sucess work and Moon signs (not phases). I am currently doing career related work with the Crown of Success Spell Kit, honey jar and mojo. From my understanding, the following timing would be optimal to start my work:

-Waxing moon
-Sunday or Thursday
-Beginning at dawn.

My question refers to the moon in the signs and how important it is to time it with all three things mention above? Given that this is a career spell I have read that doing spell when the moon is in Taurus or Capricorn is optimal. I have also read that doing so when the moon is in Aquarius is out of the question as Aquarius is impersonal and that doing so while in Gemini may yield unwanted negative results.

Are these correct assumptions?

Does someone know the correspondences for each moon in the signs when it comes to magickal workings?

There is a lot of information out there which I don't know if to trust. Timing all four seem not only like challenge but something that happens only every so many years, especially if you count that some signs may also be in retrograde when all four are auspicious, i.e. Mercury or Jupiter. For example, today 8/27/15 the moon is waxing, and it is a Thursday. I could have started the work at dawn had it not been because the moon was still in Capricorn shortly after midnight but went into void-of-course at 3:20 am EST and into Aquarius at 4:03am EST. The next time the moon is in Capricorn on a Thursday or Sunday, and it is also waxing - without a major planet being in retrograde - is not until November 15.

I do not have the funds to pay a personal astrologer for these answers. If someone were so kind to direct me in the right direction, it would be greatly appreciated.

Hi poseidonsdaughter,

Welcome to the forum! When you get a chance (and wish to do so), please introduce yourself in the Introductions thread, and also read the forum rules to familiarize yourself with how we do things here.

Not every rootworker works with moon phases or signs in their spells. It would be advisable for you to consult a reader from AIRR who works with astrology, as they would be best to advise you.

Good luck.
