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

I am going to work the Lavender Love Triple Strength Mojo (with Mojo bag). The instructions say to use a red offertory candle. What size is this candle? 4" or 6"? .

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Tue Nov 22, 2016 6:33 pm

It could be any convenient size. It would not be a glass-encased vigil light, though.

Inquiring mind would like to know: can I burn multiple candles for different conditions simultaneously? I want to do a Cut and Clear spell (to get rid of bad habits) while also doing to spell to bolster self confidence.

Thank you miss cat I do in fact have the book but I'm goig to reread it again cause I think I have missed some things in there. As of right now I have 2 candle altars, one for my ancestors and another for saints and angels. I think that I'm going to purchase another table to act as an altar for positive works.

I am in the middle of burning an encased Santisima Muerte candle. I have to leave tomorrow and I'm wondering if I should

A. Leave it to burn at home with the person who the work is for.

B. Snuff it out and re light it when I get home -- but it's too far down now to snuff it out with my fingers and I don't have a metal snuffer.

Please help

Dear pixidust,

It is always best to let a glass encased candle burn straight through -- but if that is not appropriate for your situation, then you can use use a long knife, knitting needle, or stick to push the wick into the melted wax and "drown" it -- but you will have trouble digging it out and relighting it later.

Alternatively, you can deprive it of oxygen and "starve it out" by setting a metal jar lid on it tightly -- but it will smoke and make soot and ruin the reading of the glass.

It seems to me you are not yet habituated to the kinds of tools and utensils you will need if you are to continue in this work.

You wlll want a snuffer, for sure. You will want a metal pan filled with sand so you can burn candles safely while you are out of the home. You really need a copy of my book "The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic." In it is a complete list of tools and technqiues for really doing this work right.

I apologize if this is in the wrong thread or if this has been answered prayer I am on my way to work and really anxious about getting an answer so I have not had time to search but I started a skull candle spell a few weeks ago when I was first learning about how to do them now I did not know about timing and having to do it every day and it's been a while like I said so I'm not sure if I ever blew it out like when I was first learning about the do's and don'ts of candles so I'm scared I messed it up and I still have the majority of the candle to burn. The question is, do I finish burning the candle or do I bury it and start again?

Unread post by **kalskeep** » Mon Dec 05, 2016 3:24 pm

Hello, Shutter,

Blowing out a candle signals that the work is done and ends the spell. I'm sorry, but you will need to start again. You could try redressing and relighting the candle till it burns down and watch for signs/movement, but if none are forthcoming, you may need to purchase a new candle and start over.

I have several six inch offertory candles that have been in storage with other colors for a few years. It's become difficult to tell the difference between the white and yellow, and all of those have splotches and streaks of green and red and some muddy brown color in them. Are there any good uses for such muddled candles aside from melting/re-pouring or mundane work light? There are only a few of them, but I'd hate to waste any.

I would go ahead and use them, but in the future, please learn how to wrap candles in a blessed paper or cloth to preserve them for future use as explained in the classic 1936 book "Legends of Incense, Herb, and Oil Magic" -- which we have reprinted to make available its old-school conjure knowledge to the current generation.

Does using a fixed and dressed glass encased candle have the same effect as a Spell Kit? For example, will theCrossing Vigil Candle have the same effect as the Crossing Spell Kit? Would the Lavender Love Vigil Candlehave the same effect as the Spell Kit, and so forth?

The issue here is my partner is moving into my house, and he doesn't know I practice hoodoo. While I try to figure out how to operate a full Spell Kit under secrecy I was hoping I could at least still run Vigil Candles that are dressed. Please advise. M

Hello there
I am new to this forum and me and my sister need bit of advice there is a women that took our dad personal concerns such as hair socks clothes picture etc… she is doing mind control on our dad to turn him against us to have arguments and to disrespect us and lash out on us because we are close to him

we was thinking of burning a 7 day white candle for him or a white skull candle with luckymojo uncrossing oil to cleanse him and to stop argueing with us will this method work which of the two candles should we use ?

Hello Canon2099,

I think a white seven-day knob candle dressed with Uncrossing oil and burned over a petition paper asking for your dad's deliverance would be a powerful start to breaking this woman's hold on him. You can read more about how to burn that kind of candle here:

Hello everyone, so I know that when finished with a candle you can bury it in your backyard. Well... what happens if you live in an apartment and have neither a front yard nor back yard? Also I would like to be discreet when disposing of remains. There are a lot of people around and dogs and children all the time.

Backyard or front yard depends on the type of spell

You can bury in a flower pot, and here are other ways of deployment or disposal:

Hello Shutter,

If playing certain music has a strong effect on you and you believe it helps you focus your intent, I say go for it.

Unread post by **Sister Jean** » Sat Feb 11, 2017 11:18 am

Hello deladelasol77,

You could try waiting until the candle cools down and hardens again then use a chopstick to dig out some of the extra wax around the wick and see if that helps. If there is so much oil that it's a puddle, you could try twisting up a paper towel so you can put down into the vigil light and soak up some of the oil. It also would be a good idea for you to read Miss Cat's helpful book "The Art of Hoodoo Candle Magic in Rootwork, Conjure and Spiritual Church Services.

If someone is not interested in reading the wax remains of a jar or skull candle, would it be acceptable to pour out the wax in the 'well' of the candle or have it dry on the walls of the jar when it needs to be pinched out so that it can more easily burn down to the end of the wick?

Unread post by **natstein** » Fri Feb 17, 2017 4:17 pm

Hello Shutter,

You can do that. Some practitioners will manipulate how the candle is burning in general to guarantee a good burn. I personally do not do a whole lot of manipulation to my figural candles unless they just are not burning at all but everyone's mileage may vary on this.

Does Lucky Mojo sell (or, can anyone direct me to where) I can get a candle holder that will hold small, menorah/Hanukah candles? Per many episodes of the Lucky Mojo Hoodoo Rootwork Hour, I have bought a number of these candles to use and I love them. Currently, I place sand in a dish and stick the candle down in it. However, I really want a candle holder that is the appropriate size, without purchasing and (inappropriately!) using a menorah. Can anyone help?

Thank you!

Unread post by **Sister Jean** » Sat Feb 25, 2017 5:54 pm

Hello bloomandbone,

I believe the small, brass star-stamped candle holders that Lucky Mojo sells to fit its 4-inch altar candles would work for those. I actually just went and tested this on one of my own candle holders; you can squish together the prongs (probably not the right word) that hold the candle to fit a candle that's quite small.

You can find them here:

http://www.luckymojo.com/mojocattools.html#holders

Get the smaller size; it's 3/4 inch tall. You can also hold a match to the bottom of the candle to melt it a tiny bit so it will stick to the holder.

Hope that helps!

Hi all,
I had a reading yesterday with a rootworker and she suggested I do some candle work to help someone find courage and decrease their fear. I've done a lot of reading so far on writing a petition on paper but haven't seen anything about writing one on a candle and how to go about it. I'm not sure what info is needed or how to do it. Or would it be just a effective to write it on a piece of paper. If so, since it's for someone else do I still cross their name with mine? Any help would be truly appreciated.
Thanks !!!

On a taper candle, uou could inscribe, in a spiral fashion from bottom to top (without any breaks in your cursing writing):

couragecouragecouragecouragecouragecouragecouragecouragecourage

I am trying to save my child from an abusive, narcissistic, possibly sociopath ex-husband. I have tried everything imaginable, but it's at the point where praying for the best, without doing works, is getting me nowhere.

I have merged your post into the thread on general candle questions. If you can please refrain from starting new topics as this makes it difficult for the moderators to keep the forums organized and difficult for other members to find the information they are looking for.

for how many names to carve on a candle ultimately you can carve as many as you can fit on the candle. Though from reading your post I personally would recommend a fiery wall of protection spell kit. (http://www.luckymojo.com/fierywallofprotection.html)

Hi,

I just received my order from Lucky Mojo, and it was very tightly packed in the box, which is fine. Except, at least one of my candles had a crack around the width. it's only held together by the wick because the crack is all the way through. I'm assuming LM wouldn't pack a candle with this kind of crack.

I would like to know if I should still use the candle, or if the crack is interpreted as some sort of sign, and if so, a negative one?

Thanks

Hello Kabirdas,

You might give the shop a call and see if they will replace the candle. I personally tend to see things like this as signs of some sort of resistance or at the least that I have my work cut out for me. I would melt the wax down and make a new candle out of it myself.
