How to Use Lucky Mojo Candles and Vigil Lights Questions and Answers

[ConjureMan]

Herbs and oils have a good long shelf-life. I've heard of LM oils being kept and used after a couple years even. I personally go through them too quickly to know..

If you have a fixed vigil, it should have a long enough shelf life to last a while.

[hoodooTom]

I personally use a 5 gallon fish tank that I used to have. it works great especially with a screen top..I use sand on the bottom.

Just an option.

[freegirl]

what should I use for my LM jumbo candles?

[catherineyronwode]

kevinloa74 wrote, "people baptize dolls and candles and stuff" -- but actually, in my experience, only dolls are baptized or figural candles that LOOK LIKE PEOPLE.

If you are finished working with a doll, you do not "unbaptize it" (there is no such thing), you dismantle and/or dispose of it.

When the figural candle burns down, you dispose of the wax.

To learn the various traditional methods of disposal see my "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" page on "Laying Tricks and Disposing of Ritual remains" here:

In addition to my own spell work, a rootworker is helping me achieve my goal. I'm doing my cleansing baths, using Cat's book as my guide and LM products for my spells, so I feel confident in my work.

There have been times when we're both burning vigil candles and our candles burn differently - I'm getting clean burns with both glass vigil and free-standing candles while my rootworker mentioned problems with some of my candles (one had to be relit a few times while another flowed wax all over the place).

I know that I'm more emotionally invested to obtaining a successful outcome - any ideas why we'd be getting different results if we share the same intentions and are working within the same time frame?

[ConjureMan]

It may be something as simple as the quality of candles being used. It may also be that you two are working two different areas or aspects of the same goal.

Let the rootworker know of the situation of how you may be getting different signs from them. Of course this may not be the case and the rootworker will be able to divine what is going on exactly and also tell you what to look for. If nothing else, they will be able to shed light on the situation.

Furthermore, a clean burn does not always guarentee success.

[kmew1315]

The only thing I can think of would be that you could be working different angles of the same goal. For instance, if it's a love goal you're working towards, one of you might be working on getting the other person to think warm and fuzzy thoughts towards you and the other might be working on getting the other person to think sexual thoughts about you. You'd get different burns because the other person has genuinely caring thoughts about you, but not sexual ones (or vice versa). That's the only thing I can think of.

Edit - wow! I said the same thing as ConjureMan! I feel special now!

[Flamethrower]

Yeah, I know that clean burns aren't always a sign of successful spellwork, but I like getting those instead of sooty, broken glass burns!

Hello all...

I was reading the customer testimonials on the LM products and its got me thinking... and I realize its up to me personal preference wise but....

for lightly seasoned folks who practice magick on ocassion would it be better to nip time and trouble in the bud by just buying a dressed candle for a specific situation and call it a day OR would it be better to load up on products (and play detective to figure out what oil or powder belong on what personal item, or candle or tool??)

Also one of the testimonials made me feel a bit hopeful in helping me maybe rid of 4 neighbors who I would like to discreetly & quietly cause a bit of strife and have them move away from my neighborhood as well? I read all these pages on how I would need to be in the neighbors space to hot foot powder or oil them (which also leaves me thinking how much hot foot or banishing for them or protection oil for me of course would I really need?)

1) Are these dressed candles glass encased, but instead your candles come with all the necessary herbs powders and oils it needs to get the job done ASAP??

2) Would one glass encased candle be enough to take care of a situation one and for all or do I need to re touch up with more dressed candles in the future to keep the situation in the outcome I need it to stay in??

3) What is the name of the dressed candle to get rid of violent, nasty, trashy neighbors?

4) Is there one for finding a job?

5) Is there maybe one fr helping me win some money with lotto (which I occasionally play) so I can maybe go back to school for myself

Many thanks to you all.

[J Simulcik]

You seem to have answered your own questions on the neighbors and are simply asking for verification. Use Hot Foot products to get them to GO!

Someone new to conjure would most likely do better to order prepared products from LM until they are more familiar with the system.

As for finding a job, Steady Work is probably the most recommended and used.

Three Jacks and a King, Lucky Hand, Lucky 13, Money Drawing, and similar products are recommended for drawing money through gambling and lottery.

Additional candles and other items can be used to enhance these and focus them further on your situation.

The candles page at LM has very good explanations of each type, and often a link to more information on that product family.

Good luck!

[jwmcclin]

Personally I am familiar with many products but prefer LM fixed candles, spell kits, herbs, you name it. It just feels right.

Look at LMs website for candles found here http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatcandles.html

and Spell kits found here http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatspells.html

Also LM can set lights for you found here http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatcandleservices.html

BTW you might want to familiarize yourself with candle magic found here http://www.luckymojo.com/candlemagic.html

And you can always call the shop if you have questions that cant be answered in the forum

jwmcclin,that's what I am deciding to do, start slow. I did look over the candle link a few nights ago and I do have a question:

The vigil candles that are dressed and prepared, are they only candles that are encased in glass or are there glass-free candles that are dressed, but I can still carve out the names on the candle?

That customer testimonial of her burning the dressed candle that "hot foot" her 3 neighbors in one shot blew me away in amazement. I got 4 troublesome neighbors of 20 years that I would really like to uproot fast but all I want to do if I order a hot foot candle is just carve their addresses on them. And if these candles come encased in glass that would be a touch difficult to include 4 carved addresses on one candle

Also Steady Work is used to find employment which is perfect for me but which luck candles will help me with lotto (since I don't play cards) there are so many luck candles on the list that choosing one is like being in candy store ??? If I can win a small amount form lotto I can afford to go back to school and pick up a few more accounting classes I would really like to take...been job hunting for a while economy not helping but I'm doing the best I can with my job hunting.

Thank you again for the help, you rock.

J Simulcik, yes I only ask for verification because there are so many candles that do a multitude of things I just don't want to pick the wrong candle (you know what they say be careful what you wish for ).

I saw Crown of Success and Steady Job threw me off a bit cause both handle similar things about finding steady employment but there are a variety of Fast Luck, all purpose luck & gambling luck candles I'm a bit confused as to which one would help me hit a few dollars while I play Lotto once in a while so many candles to choose from, that's why I ask you wonderful experienced folks to assist me before I buy way too stuff & hiding my tools are not easy from my friends & family

Thank you J

Lady Luck
and Lucky 13
are both great for lotto and lucky numbers.

However, pining your plans for the future on winning at gambling is a very very bad idea and I advise against it.

HailDiscordia I'd rather start with steady work candle first. I rarely play lotto & pining my plans for the future on winning with gambling games is NOT in my game plan & with my luck I doubt I will even make back the $2 quick pick play I make every once or twice a year. I am just curious to see if I will even make a few dollars that's all. If you knew what frugal young woman I am & the way I shop (with gobs of coupons) you'd be amazed. My friends when they go to Atlantic City, I end up sitting in the lobby or the food buffet court waiting for them to drop several hundreds of dollars on slot machines and then I tease them and tell them that's where you Social Security money is going down Donald Trump's pants wallet & casinos .

Don't worry about me Hail even when I try to play lotto I end up screwing up my wager by playing it wrong by picking out too many or too little numbers that even the store owner knows I'm a sad nerd at gambling (holding up a line of serious gamblers behind me ) .

But I thank you for giving me the names of the candles to use in the future.

[JayDee]

you do have the option of burning more then one candle for your purpose. For example a steady work candle with a crown of success candle and an attraction candle used together to nail a new job would work well together. Same with the oils you can mix oils together for your specific needs. thats the great thing about hoodoo its tailored to fit. As for the neighbors yes hotfoot is what you want for them.. a sneaky trick is to get some hot foot powder, and powder some junk mail with it and send it to their home..even buy a news paper and powder it and throw it on their porch ( like the news paper boy messed up) that way you get the powder on their hands and in the home.. good luck

I've settled into a nice groove with my candle work. Usually, I'll start work with a dressed vigil. I like that LM puts the right combination of herbs for my intention, so I don't have to spend a lot of time/money with that level of detail. Also, they bless when fixing and I like the idea of having someone else in alignment with my intention. Most often, I burn my vigils straight through.

Then to supplement my work with the vigil, I have a growing collection of LM oils that I use to dress 4" offeratory candles. In this way, I can work on different aspects or layers of the issue that I lit the vigil for. Having oils on hand is also very economical, as I sometimes dress plain glass vigils myself, add them to my bath, wear them as an annointing, etc.

Hello MightyAphrodite

I thank you for you immediate reply back and I love the idea of saving money (which I need to do). I have a one or two more questions:

1) these dressed candles that are prepared are they encased in glass and if YES, can I write up my intention/petition on the sides of the dressed glass candle with a permanent marker or do I need to buy special paper to write up my intentions on & place it under the candle??? (if so, then when the candle is done burning, what do I do with the paper or dressed candle with the petitions on them???

2) Biggest question is how long has it taken you to see some success with your dressed candles (not looking for guarantees at all cause there are none in life but just wondering how your results have panned out, have they been successful??? just curious & I know everyone success rates with hoodoo is different & varied....)

3) Also I'm curious would you know which dressed candle or candles I could buy to protect my cousin whose home is being viciously vandalized with frozen eggs for a long while now. My cousin refuses to move out of his home of 30 years which the mortgage has been paid for (which I don't blame him at all for) but law enforcement whether its state or municipal police he is beyond tired of dealing with & complaining to. The amount of money he poured into alarm systems, replacing new glass windows putting up sensor motion lights around his home and getting his video camera to try and catch these high school monster violating his home is taking a massive toll on him and his family.

4) Which candles can I buy for him to bring massive discord & suffering to these vandals and rid of their prescence once and for all (if I can even manage that being a new at all this of course)? Cause I know I am going to label these dressed candles with the words egg vandals cause we don't have the license plates and when these brats keep changing the cars its not easy to track them down and these nighbors of his has one rule its always about looking out for themselves. Yup there's no commraderie or assistance from anyone around their but he's payed off his mortagage and to move in this economy for him would be dangerous at best.

So I wouuld truly appreciate it if you could help me out with my last question here and I thank you again for you answers and advice as well MightyAphrodite .

[MightyAphrodite]

You can use a marker on the glass, but I prefer to write petitions on paper. You can easily obtain parchment paper (I buy sheets from LM that I cut into 3" squares) but you can also use brown paper from paper bags. There's a lot of info if you search for "petitions." Additionally, I learned most everything I know from Cat's online book. Tons of info in there!

As far as timing goes, that totally depends on the situation. The bottom line is it takes as long as it takes. If something isn't resolving, keep approaching it from different angles. I really like something I learned from Cat (that's been discussed here before as well) about looking for signs within 3 days. Movement within 3 weeks. And results within 3 months. Navigating the process is best done with divination--either a professional reading, or doing your own readings with tarot, pendulum, etc.

Some spells have timelines built into them. For example, I did my first hot-foot spell on someone and wasn't sure it was working because the person acted up MORE after I did the spell. I doubted that it was working. Then, the person stopped after 9 days. Later, I was reading about the hot foot spell again, and noticed that Cat's online book SAID results should come in after 9 days. Lo and behold, when I looked back in my calendar, I noticed that indeed--the last time I was contacted by that person was on the 9th day after I completed the spell. COOL!

Not sure how to guide you on doing more work, as I'm still learning, but if it was me, I would do a combination of:
-House cleansing
-Reversing work to throw that negativity back at the vandals.
-Firey wall of protection

Also, I've had good work with St. Michael for protection. But understand that he'll help only if the case is just. I can't tell what is going on in this situation, but if your cousin has been contributing to the problem somehow, he might need to clean up his side too. As a 3rd party, you might find that you're getting sucked into a lopsided version of the story. Sounds like a reading is in order.

[catherineyronwode]

Quick answer to one of the questions asked earlier:

The only fixed and prepared (dressed, oiled, carved, loaded, and/or prayed-over) candles we currently offer are the glass-encased ones. It is just too time-consuming to prepare the figural and offertory candles that way on a mass basis. We used to do it -- we rolled each free-standing candle in a specifically-preparedmelted wax-and-herb mix, then oiled it, prayed over it, and wrapped each candle in aluminum foil and then in a zip-lock bag -- but we had to stop doing that about 12 years ago, when we saw that the time it took was too great for what people were prepared to pay us for the extra service, and that there were simply too many such requests per day for us to handle. We stuck with dressing only the glass-encased candles, and, of course, we supply the oils and herbs for people to dress their own offertory and figural candles.

[2010luckyme]

Hi,
when a spell involves burning a candle do I have to pray and focus on my intention until candle burns out or can I pray and state my intemtion for 5-10 minutes and then just go about my day and just let the candle burn by itself?
Thank you all.

[theusurper]

yes, that what you have to do or pray and focus for 15 minutes and then snuff the candle and do it again everyday until the candle is done.

[Devi Spring]

In most cases, yes - just spend 15 minutes or so praying for your intent over the candle and then let it burn out. If it's a glass encased vigil candle that's going to burn over several days, I like to pray over 3 times a day for about 10 minutes each.

You would only snuff the candle if you are working a spell that is using a knob candle, or a candle that is segmented for some reason, or if you are in a situation where you cannot let a candle burn all the way down.

Well, it depends on what type of candle you are using and how much time you have! If you are using a 4 inch offertory candle:
http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatcandles.html#altar then you may want to wait until the entire candle burns out--in my experience it takes between 15-30 minutes for those candles to burn out. If you are using a 6 inch candle or a jumbo candle and you don't have time to sit around and watch it burn for hours then you burn it in sections over a period of time. I know people who will sit and focus on their work for 15 minutes, I know people who will do it for half an hour or an hour and I know people who light the candle in the morning while they are getting ready for work, continue getting ready and then snuff it out before they leave.
Good luck,
Bri

I'm sure that my sister practices some kind of dark magic. My father used to protect me from her until he died and then bad accidents and really terrible things started happening to me. I recently did a freezer spell and then burned a black candle with cast off evil oil with her name on it. (a few days before I did the spells, I cleaned my house with sage, florida water, did an uncrossing bath, and I constantly burn a St. Michael the Archangel candle for protection). Within hours of finishing the black candle spell, my fairly new car battery died, the garage door opener broke, and my hair dryer caught on fire. My niece called me a few days later to tell me that my sister had won some money. It was almost the exact amount that it cost me to replace the battery, garage door opener, and hair dryer. I have three questions.

1. Can someone curse you to steal your blessings or receive some kind of reward in exchange for doing bad works on someone?

2. I ordered a fiery wall of protection kit and a reversing candle. Do I do the fiery wall of protection before or after the reversing candle?

3. I plan on doing a mirror box after I finish the reversing candle. Are there any other protection spells that anyone would recommend? (I've worn silver dimes, rubbed myself with eggs- both were somewhat helpful, but I really feel like I need to work harder on protection.

[chy clayton s]

I would recomend hiring a professional to work for you. There are many on this forum.

[wasylena]

I am currently working with a hoodoo worker and I have had a few readings from luckymojo. I had forgotten if I do the fiery wall before or after the reversing candle. If someone could help me, I would appreciate it.

[catherineyronwode]

I would perform the fiery wall of protection spell first, to get yourself in a spiritually secure frame of mind, knowing you are protected. Then I would perform additional works as needed, including the reversing candle spell.

You can renew the potection any time you want, if you feel it is wearing thin.

[jwmcclin]

Also to continue protection, you could burn candles, wear the oils, place the sachet powders in the corners and center of your rooms, use the bath crystals...thinks like that ... it continues the work. I have found when I did it continuously everything and everybody got on my nerves so I backed off and developed a ritual of time appropriate for my needs.

[wraithklewn]

For people that have used both product or one or the other. which of the two products are more powerful to use?or easier? right now im undecided on either gettin spell kits or the dressed vigil candles. hehe want to place an order here soon but so undecided...

[jwmcclin]

I have used both and it all depends on what your intentions are and your power in my opinion. That said, a vigil candle may bring money for one person while a full spell kit works better for another. And yes I have done the spell with a vigil candle as a backup...

[catherineyronwode]

wraithklewn, questions about "which is more powerful" don't usually fly in a room full of conjures. It's like asking a cook, "which tastes better, angel hair pasta or tortillas?" They are just different things, they are prepared differently, and they aim toward the same result (satisfaction of desires and needs).

The dressed vigil lights require very little from the user -- a petition paper, a few moments of prayer, and attention to the candle as it burns.

A spell kit may require more work -- laying out an altar, mixing ingredients, praying over individual portions of the work, deploying the finished items, and disposing of the ritual remains.

However, as jwmcclin said, either one may get you where you wish to be -- and many of our customers who prefer to work by candle light rather than electric light will buy both both a spell kit and a dressed vigil light -- and perform the work of the spell kit (which generally will have its own small altar candles as well) by the light of the large vigilcandle.

Good luk!

Can someone please send me the page if easily available whereMs Cat said 9 days

Later, I was reading about the hot foot spell again, and noticed that Cat's online book SAID results should come in after 9 days

[catherineyronwode]

I cannot and will not say that anyone will absolutely get results in any time frame -- or at all.

Imagine if i were a medical doctor -- they would take away my license if i wrote, "Everyone who takes Aspirin will have their headache gone in 20 minutes." No way -- some people get no headache relief from aspirin, others do some of the time.

And it is the same with candle spells, spell kits, or prayer -- results will vary because people's situations vary, and the way they use the spiritual supplies will vary, and, after all, God may have some plan in mind that outweighs their own temporary desire for a quick fix."

There are so many factors, and life is so uncertain, that i simply will not violate the truth of what i have witnessed during my life to tell a lie that "results should come" or "will come" in a certain amount of time.

[MightyAphrodite]

Can someone please send me the page if easily available whereMs Cat said 9 days

The page of the book that I read about hot footing is here:
http://www.luckymojo.com/hotfoot.html

The actual sentence I referenced is this one:
"After nine days, i have been told, the one who has bothered you will be history as far as you and your family are concerned. Your mileage may vary, of course."

Miss Cat, I see why you are responding as you are about timing and people not making claims or having expectations about specific timing. Of course. When I did the hot foot spell on that page, I didn't even really take notice of the comment about 9 days. To me, it's either going to work or it's not. My tarot cards said it would. It did. And it was only later when I was reading that page again that I noticed that indeed, my spell worked after 9 days. So count me in as one who's mileage didn't vary. I thought that was pretty awesome.

[starsinthesky7]

I really love this answer, and it is a good explanation and answer to the "How fast did you see results or when will I see results?" Results may vary indeed.

I cannot and will not say that anyone will absolutely get results in any time frame -- or at all.

Imagine if i were a medical doctor -- they would take away my license if i wrote, "Everyone who takes Aspirin will have their headache gone in 20 minutes." No way -- some people get no headache relief from aspirin, others do some of the time.

[GIFTEDHANDS]

What I have been trying to figure out is how long does the effect of burning vigil candles last?
will the effect of the candle last or work only during the time the candle is burning or beyond that?

ex: adam & eve or stay with me
do you try to do them continuiously or once a month or only when you feel you need it?

Thanks for any help?

[jwmcclin]

Personally when I feel the need. Workers do spells differently. There are some who perform lets say prosperity spells monthly, yearly, etc. Cleansing spells weekly, monthly, etc. Drawing spells monthly, weekly...etc...get the picture? That said, protection spells should be ongoing.

[wraithklewn]

what about negative type vigils? such as break up or hotfoot. should these be repeated often?

[jwmcclin]

same principle...if you feel there is a need also you can get a reading which will answer your inquiry...before and after a spellwork...

[GIFTEDHANDS]

Thanks Jwmcclin,
but does the effects of the candle last or work only during the time the candle is burning or beyond that?

[Devi Spring]

Beyond. How far varies.

[ConjureMan]

Depends on how big a change you are looking for. The spirit you get moving keeps working, but things happen that can interfere. For example if you are trying to change a person then you'll have to repeat work, or have to renew your stuff because so long as they have free will and see things differently then you then they'll be fighting.

So the spirit keeps working for you, but you may find that either the change you seek needs pressure added periodically or not. This is where divination comes into play.

[GIFTEDHANDS]

Now I got it!!!
Makes total since!
Thanks Guys

hi, i recently purchased some LM van van oil...financially i can't afford to purchase a lot of spell kits right now but i wanted to simply burn candles to clear the way for me romantically and just in life/success in general as i've felt a lot of negative energy around me recently (which i've contributed to by feeling sorry for myself.) so could anyone give me advice on how to do some simple road opening work on myself using the van van oil and small taper candles on a daily basis? one candle would be for love so i thought i'd burn an orange candle dressed in van van and rose petals for that, then the other candle for just general road opening in terms of my life, not sure what i should do for that one regarding candle color/herbs etc. also, should i inscribe my name on the candles and add any of my personal concerns to it such as my hair? and do i write a petition paper? thanks!

If you're on a budget you can always just use white candles - either household, taper, or tealights. Just dress the candle with the oil while you pray your petition. You can carve symbols of your petition into the candle before you light it too. You could also write your petition on a piece of paper, and put that under the candles.

Dress yourself with the Van Van oil too - just a dab while you pray your intent.

Definitely make sure you are spiritually cleansing your home while you are attempting to open the road. Get some Chinese Wash. It is concentrated and goes a long way.

thanks so much! you always give great responses...in terms of writing a petition paper for this, i've never done a spell for road opening before so i'm not entirely sure how to write a petition for it. do i just write my desire for my bad luck to change, turn it clockwise and write my name over it 3 times?

[Devi Spring]

I would word it positively, rather than negatively. Instead of "for my bad luck to change", I would write something like "to clear the way for good fortune".

Hi all,
I am new to Hoodoo, and i have a question about lighting candles. How many candles or how long a duration do i need to light the candles for a particular wish? Say, if i wanted to use the Come to Me and Reconciliation oil to anoint a candle, how many candles do i use and for how long?

Thx!

There are some free candle spells you can try listed here:http://www.luckymojo.com/candlemagic.html#spells but if you're new at this sort of thing, a spell kit from LM would be a wise investment. The kits come with step by step instructions and are well worth the money, especially when you see results! lol Check them out here: http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocatspells.html Good luck with your candle magic!!

I would get a pink vigil light and light it until the candle is done and melted. If you want to use free standing candles. I would get 7 candles, and light one per day, or you could burn it in portions.

Thanks guys.. I shall get a kit from LM, sounds better to start off..
Anyways ive got a reading with Miss Bri this Weds, will get more info on what exactly to do..

When ordering the fixed vigil candles, can one specify what they should be dressed with?

[ConjureMan]

Most of the vigil candles that have labels are dressed already for a specific purpose. So "Follow Me Boy" vigil candles are dressed according to that, "Saint Martha" candles are dressed for her etc.

Those that are unlabelled they are dressed according to what you tell them you need.

You can call the shop for a bit more info, if you need.

[Malefic]

Well, what I was wondering if I can order them to come with specific dressings -- like if I wanted a Follow Me Boy candle that was really dressed with Breakup or a Road Opener candle dressed with Van Van, instead of whatever they automatically are dressed with.

[catherineyronwode]

Yes, you can order candles dressed for sneaky tricks with opposite dressings. You need to specify this in your order and say that it is for a sneaky trick.

I have a question about ordering LM Seven Day candles. I am going to be ordering supplies here shortly such as figural candles, seven day candles, oils, powders, and other items to do a working for a friend to help them get rid of an addiction they are having a hard time getting rid of. When I ordered a seven day candle before I know they fix them there at the store and then ship them out.

1) My question is how do they fix them?

2) Are the seven day candles fixed with a specific thing in mind such as the person who ordered them as the focus or in a general way for what the candle says?

The reason why I ask is that these candles are for someone else and I'm not sure if I need to send the name of the person I am doing these workings for in the message area of the the order form on line. I hope I am making sense with this. Any help would be great before I put my order in so I know how things are working with the process.

First, Shadowalker, you show your age or the age of the one who taught you in this tradition.

Our vigil candles -- and those of every USA maker -- have not been "7 day" candles since the days of George Bush Ithe First, when the price of petroleum products, including paraffin wax, went sky-high due to the First Gulf War, and the days of George Bush the Second, when the price of petroleum products, including paraffin wax, went through the roof again due to the Iraq War.

The factories that make these candles responded by reducing the height and the diameter of the glass containers that hold the wax. These candles -- which originally were "novena" candles, meaning they burned for NINE days, became "7 day lights" -- and now are so small they only burn for FIVE days, sometimes only 4 days!

Okay, but all that aside, to answer your questions:

1) We fix the candles with blended condition oils, herbs, minerals, roots, and glitter, then pray over them in your name, for your benefit. If you include a petition you wish to have prayed over them with your order, we will pray in those words, otherwise we will pray in our own words for your success.

2) The candles are fixed for whatever the client wishes. You have complete freedom to include a specific message with your order telling us exactly what you want prayed over them, or to include no message at all. We receive many orders with no petitions, as well as orders that include petitions such as

"Pray for my success in finding a job."

"Pray for me to be able to divorce my husband and still keep the house."

"Do not say any prayers; just dress the candle, please."

"This candle is for [Name} whose birthdate is [Date]; he has cancer."

We pray whatever the client requests. If there is no request, we pray for the success of the client's unspoken wishes.

I hope this helps.

Thank you Cat! I'm 31 and have been taught parts of Conjure by Orion Foxwood and another friend Julia Ballance Mandes whenever I get a chance to talk to them or visit. Orion has highly suggested your course to me the last time we talked and I plan on taking it sometime in the near future. I have had studies in the magical practices and religons for 13 years now and for the past year I have started some intense studies into Conjure.

I do apologize for the Seven Day Candle comment. I am used to calling them by that name because the store I used to buy them from called them that and I got used to it. I have noticed that the Novena Candles haven't been burning as they have been labeled when I ordered them from that store. When I started ordering from LM I just loved the products and now order the products when needed from the site. Thank you for your help Cat!

[catherineyronwode]

No need to apologize, dear, i found it fun to hear reference to "7 Day candles" after so many years. I wish they still WERE 7 Day Candles.

If you talk to Orion, tell him i said hello. He is a good teacher, and i thank him for recommending my course as well.
