Hello,
I was wondering if I should say the words of my spell after I cleanse my candle but before I carve, dress, load with concerns & petition and name it or if I go ahead and carve, dress, load with concerns & petition and name, then say my spell?
Thanks for any help given!

Flowers345 · Unread post by **Flowers345** » Sun Aug 27, 2017 8:56 am

Lmuser05 I would first carve, dress, load with concerns and petition before you say the spell. However you can imagine your outcome and say words in a mantra or incantation while carving and dressing. It is however you feel you should do the spell. I hope this helps!

Hi there,

I want to heal myself. I've been damaged for years due to a previous relationship and then when I finally let another man in we split just before our year mark. We're still friends but it still hurts that I let him in and things didn't end well. Our circumstances were the cause of our split, not lack of feelings for one another but hurt is hurt nonetheless. I have a honey jar going, I have a few ideas that I will work later (setting tricks with powders, baking goodies and using bath crystals) but I won't be able to do those for near a month. Until that time I would like to heal myself. I was thinking of doing a three candle spell while I bathe. I don't have the money to buy anything currently, I will in two weeks time but until then I'd like to get something going.

I have three white tea lights I want to light while I'm taking a bath. I want to cleanse & heal myself and I don't know.. I just want to be able to love me again. I was wondering if I could add some love me oil that I bought from LM and use it for myself? Does this sound like it would have the possibility of working? I know a great deal of it depends on me, my intent, my feelings, how much I believe and want- I'm not lacking there because I truly want this. I want to love myself. I want to heal.

I don't have an oils I could use for those intents though (except love me which like I said, I'm not certain it would work if I'm using it for myself) so I plan on using Olive Oil on two of the three tea light candles. The third (if I'm told it can work) I'll use the Love Me oil. I'll write on one candle Healing, the second will say Self Love and the third will say.... I'm not sure yet- I'm opened to suggestions.. I have Hyssop herbs and was wondering if I could use that along with the 9 herb love mixture?

I'm kinda just throwing this together as I type. I don't know if it sounds silly or far fetched or anything along those lines but what I do know is that I want to stop feeling this way. I want to be positive and happy and love myself. So if you have better ideas, please tell me them. Again, I don't have the money to buy anything from LM for another two weeks which is why I'm trying to work with ingredients I already have like the herbs and love me oil.

I apologize for the long post, I only intended to write a quick one. Thank you for any and all input, I appreciate your time. Thank you again!

Hello, JAD82017,

You could most definitely do the baths.

And of course you could use the love me oil and make all your petitions: Love myself.

But that's as far as the love me oils go. They won't heal you.

You could also put the oil on 2 pictures of yourself. Then, place the pictures face-to-face and tie pink thread around them and put them in a safe place.

But, that's as far as it goes with this oil.

I do hope that these spells work because you can't keep punishing yourself because of the relationships. I hope that you find some self-esteem and realize your self worth.

Master products also help with this

Evening everyone. Just a small question:

Do you guys think it's "Cheating" to dip or pour the wax out of a figural candle? I'm just curious to know so that the wax doesnt form a puddle and then burns slowly. I do it to skull candles, figural and sometimes larger candles if they start to form that puddle.

Thanks

I work on many candles for different loved ones and I intend to do petition papers for all of them.

Hello Moonlightdream,

To me, that doesn't sound like too many. But you be the judge depending on your skill level and how practically you can juggle that many spells. If you feel like your attention is becoming so divided that you can't concentrate properly on your work, perhaps scale it back.

Recently ordered 3 gorgeous dark green candles to use along w money oil and sacher powder. Having an impossibly time poking holes in the hard wax! Any other way I can load them? I had someone suggest to me digging a tunnell along the side if the candle?
Any suggestions welcome! TY!!

Blackcattt0123 -

I don't know how big your candles are, but you could always heat a nail, pin, or skewer and poke it through the wax. If its big enough hollow out a small hole in the base, loading doesn't mean it has to be chock full from top to bottom.

I think carving out a tunnel along the side and resealing would almost guarantee an uneven burn.

If these are freestanding candles (not in a jar or encased) I would just dress the candle and sprinkle the sachet powder on it.
If they are in jars/encased then again the holes need not be huge and deep, just enough to get the oil to seep beneath the surface, then sprinkle your powders on top.

Hopefully someone else has more suggestions and you find a solution that works!

Unread post by **Sister Jean** » Wed Mar 21, 2018 8:41 am

Hello stillsosola,

I'm sorry but there are parts of your question that I don't understand. You add personal concerns to a skull candle by carving a hollow in the bottom, putting in the concerns, and then sealing the hollow with wax. And yes, a skull candle dressed with Break Up oil and Compelling oil could compel them to break up with you. I wouldn't use the Goofer Dust though as it can be very harsh. And I'm sorry I don't get what you mean by "digital" candles.

Take care.

Hello everyone!

I was wondering....I have seen in many videos people on scribing (carving) black ‘break up candles’ with one persons name going in the usual direction and the other member of the couple’s name backwards. Is this traditional in hoodoo or perhaps just the way someone likes to ‘personalize’ their work?

It seems to make sense to have one name forward and one backward....but I am a beginner and am not sure.

Would it be as effective if the names were in the same direction?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Tue Mar 27, 2018 8:36 pm

Blackcattt0123 --

Hoodoo is like folk music, that's why it is called folk magic. Folk magic and folk music both vary from one region to another, and also over time. The internet is bringing these different traditions together. It is important to respect the variations and not to try to select one variation as the "most effective" variation. That would be like saying, oh, i dunno, like saying Leadbelly's version of "Let It Shine On Me" is "more effective" than Rev. Ernest Phipps' version. I happen to like them BOTH!

So, on Break Up candles -- and i am talking about freestanding candles now, not glass encased -- there are three main types: a couple (bride and groom) candle that you would cut in half, a divorce candle with the couple back to back, and any number of freestanding black and/or red figural or plain candles, depending how you want to do the work.

On the couple candle, you carve the name of each party on his or her side of the candle -- matching the gender. You can face them away from one another, tail-to-tail or back-to-back

Same on a divorce candle
; The names can run "away" from each other or be "back to back."

On freestanding candles, where you write on a paper and cut the paper in two and put half under each candle and walk them away, you would normally write the names not touching on a paper and then cut or tear them apart.

So ive been working a large black skull candle on my ex lover dressing it with break up oils and cut and clear oils, also added his personal concerns and have a name paper underneath the plate i wrote my petition following the form illustrated in cat's Paper In My Shoe book.

My candle is a mess its almost burnt down and ive been praying psalm 70 and psalm 41 on it.

My ex is still acting unstable.

Should i bury the wax remains? I bury the last candle i worked on him in the cemetery in my granny grave and paid her to bind him or should i seek out a different means of disposal ?

Hello stillsosola,

I think the opportunity you have to bury these remains at your grandmother's grave is great. I'd keep burying them there if I were you. And I'd just bury the remains once the candle stops burning, and not before. I wrote some other suggestions for this ex in your other post; make sure to check those out.

I’m not exactly sure where this question would go so I apologize if it is in the wrong area.

My question is in regards to the difference between dressing and fixing a candle or item. Somewhere I read that when you fix a candle or doll baby with your own personal concerns you become entangled with it. So therefore, you should only fix an item with the personal concerns of the person you want to work on or influence. Alternatively, I’ve also read and have had experience in dressing candles and dollbabies with my personal concerns (menstrual fluid) and it packed quite a punch in boosting the effectiveness of the work (albeit short term). I admittedly got caught up in the work myself and was heavily affected. So I’m wondering if there is still some entanglement if you dress a candle with your menstrual blood (for someone to be obsessed with you)? Is fixing an item with the personal concerns of your target and then dressing with your menstrual blood the correct way to be doing this? Is there any way to avoid this?

Unread post by **Sister Jean** » Tue Jun 05, 2018 10:42 am

Hello Olivialeigh,

To start off, I'd think of candles and doll babies differently from each other. With a doll baby, you want to create a link to your target so you can influence that doll baby just like you'd influence the actual person. So you wouldn't put your own concerns in that. However, you might wrap the doll baby in a pair of your worn underwear when it's not in use, to get in contact with your personal concerns. But that's not the same as putting them in the doll baby.

With a candle, you could dress that with your personal concerns, but if you're finding that you're getting drawn into the work and you don't want that, you could just stick to condition oils. I think it's more a matter of preference and what works for you.

Good luck!

I am wondering what is the traditional way to separate the freestanding break up/divorce candle (black figural with the couple back to back).

1) Is it to snuff it out when almost done THEN hack it in half?

2) Or hack it in half while still flickering at the very end of the burning?

3) It isnt supposed to burn down completely by itself first???

Im sorry I have just never done this before.

I could really use some advice for working with a regular 6" offertory candle. I know this has been asked before and there are several methods, and no wrong way. But I'd like to know what is the way Catherine Yronwode and the LM staff would do it. When carving this type of candle for drawing, would you typically write the targets name/intention from the top (wick) to base or base up? Many people agree when fixing a candle to draw - stroke the oil toward you, when repelling stroke away from you. I suppose that depends on if the top or bottom of the candle faces you. Let's say you have a pink offertory candle for love work. Which direction are you carving the name and dressing it?

Thank you

Unread post by **JayDee** » Thu Aug 02, 2018 7:19 am

You would carve the candle in a circle pattern around the case from wick to to base, similar to a barbershop pole, spiral downward. Dressing I do top of candle to base. I also know people who dress the outside to center to draw and center to outside of candle to repel.

Unread post by **Sister Jean** » Thu Aug 02, 2018 8:18 am

Hello thewarning,

See, and I would do the opposite. I would carve the name in a spiral starting at the base and working toward the tip, then stroke the oil from the base to the tip, toward myself, to draw the love to me. There are many ways of working. I suggest you read this page to learn more:

Sister Jean, very true ! I have read 100's of books and spoke to 100's of people and if you ask them you will hear many suggestions on how to dress a candle. I would suggest reading the posted site and ordering cats book on candle burning which is filled with a ton of information on how to dress and use candles. You need to find which method works for you and makes sense, keeping of course with the tradition. I was taught in NY to dress top down to draw to me on a candle bottom to top to send away, its how I have done it since I was a teen. I have friends who dress it differently.

Here are some great books on the topic I would suggest:

Hi,

Question about trimming Vigil candle. I understand that Vigil candle should be lit all the way through. Some say, we should trim the wick before each lighting. How can we trim the wick before each lighting if we supposed to let it burn continuously? Are we talking about only at the beginning before we even start lighting it? Please advise. Thanks.

Unread post by **JayDee** » Sun Oct 07, 2018 5:19 am

CuriousIndigo ,

You would not trim the wick when the candle is burning, you let it burn. If you put candles out and relight them, you may possible need to trim it depending on how it burned. Iv only trimmed a candle wick prior to working with it, unless the candle is burning funky then I may mess with it to burn better.

loveremains --

It may be that someone transferred the idea of not lifting your pen when writing a series of linked words like lovemelovemelovemeloveme on a paper petition to "not lifting your needle when inscribing a candle.

I personally think that even if such an instruction was part of the teaching of a specific spell, it is certainly not right to generalize from that one teacher and that one spell to all spells.

There's more than one way to carve a watermelon.

Hello everyone!!

1) Yesterday I did two love spells: one for reconciliation; the other as a love drawing. I’ve been writing the petition on the back of the photograph and then folding the side where I wrote the petition towards me, then folding it again clock wise. I make a hole in the bottom of the candle and stick it in there. The thing I’m wondering is: when the candle is about to go out, it slightly burns some of the petition paper (since it was inside the candle). Is this okay to do?

2) I used a Adam and Eve candle (a figural candle of the couple joined) for reconciliation. I was thinking of doing it on just a pink man figural candle but the store ran out of those. Is this also okay? Common sense tells me that it’s good to use this type of candle for reconciliation work. The only thing I disliked is that the candle burned kinda quick (a couple of hours). After it burned all the way down, I took the papers and buried them in the dirt around my front entrance.

3) The taper candle I used for my love drawing spell burned for much longer. I had to snuff it in the middle of the night so that I wouldn’t sleep with the candle still on. I turned on the candle the next day and changed my command. Is it ok that I burned this candle for two days?

4) I do know that in hoodoo burning candles on odd days is best... that’s why I’m wondering.

Anyways, would love and appreciate your answers!

Thanks!

5) P.S. not that dreaming may signify anything... but today while taking a short night I had a dream of him. It was pretty emotionally intense but just found it interesting that I had this dream after completing these spells. Haha.

Hello, VenusRising, and welcome to the Lucky Moo Forum.

1) That does not seem safe to me. Please read this thread:

Fire Safety Issues with Candle Magic
fire-safety-issues-with-candle-magic-t1352.html

2) Yes, it is fine. Many people prefer candles that do not burn for a long time, because they can be burned in one sitting.

3) It is fine to burn a candle in runs, but changing your "command" in the middle of a run is simply undoing what you did. It is more traditional to not burn a candle and snuff it because you have to go to sleep, but rather to mark it for an intention run of days (however long you wish) and then snuff it when the wax melts down to the mark -- and to repeat the same prayer or petition each time. This is why 7-knob candles exist, actually, to make it easy to burn a candle over a period of 7 days (or 14 days, by skipping every other day) or 21 days (by burning it one day, skipping two, and burning again). See more about burning candles in runs in this thread:

4) I have no idea who makes up and spreads these insane numerical rules about folk magic -- and then imposes them on African American hoodoo, to boot! -- but that is a new one on me and it is simply not true. Read more about the actual history of hoodoo here:

Thanks so much for responding to my questions. I actually recited the same command the next day. I have no idea why I wrote that I changed it but that was a typo. Lol.

Also, is it true that burning a candle for a number of days holds much more power than burning it for one?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Tue Oct 16, 2018 9:40 pm

VenusRising777 --

The number of days that a candle is burned is only one factor -- the clarity of the petition or prayer, the intensity and focus of will of the practitioner, the appropriateness of the candle colour, the dressing of the candle with an appropriate oil, and many other factors go into a successful spell.

Good luck.

I just wanted to chime in on your first question. Miss Cat's answer was perfect but in case you needed any convincing I've a short story for you.

Years ago I was working on a skull candle for a client. I folded my petition paper (parchment paper mind you) ever so tightly and loaded it into the bottom CENTER of the skull candle.

It was also on a glass plate. Well, I came home to find my place all smokey, my smoke alarm was screaming for dear life...the candle had melted pretty much completely and my petition paper, which was dressed with a few herbs and oils, was on fire. I froze momentarily not knowing what to do and as I began to walk towards it try and extinguish it, KaBLAM! The fire had exploded the plate and scared the beJEEZES out of me. I thought I was a goner that night, lol.

I can laugh at it now but fires are nothing to play with. Seeing how it was a skull candle, it may have been okay to load it in another region of the candle like the chin or the back of the head but definitely not anywhere near the wick.

Learn from my mistake, chère

Not a problem!

And sure you can ask. That's what I'm here for.

So believe it or not, the spell was WONDERFULLY successful LOL.

The thing is, this was a client who's husband kept leaving her for his ex-wife and bouncing back between the two.
She was determined to save her marriage so I had been working on him for a long time using several methods and "cocktail treatments".

I had been burning that particular candle in sections for 7 days straight...speaking to the target every night at the same time like clockwork, instructing him to return home to his wife before allowing it to burn out on the seventh day. At the same time, I had a break-up jar and a lemon "Sour Pussy" Freezer Spell working on the ex-wife as well so all of this contributed to its success.

Oh wow! That’s awesome. It really sounds like you knew exactly what to do on that situation. She must’ve been so happy to get her lover back!

May I ask you how I can do a really good reconciliation spell on my ex? I already did one but it was a one day candle spell kind of thing.

I’m thinking of perhaps doing it again with a 7 day encased glassed candle.

Would it be a good idea to do it again and allow it to burn for a week?

I did the reconciliation spell first and then did a love drawing spell.

VenusRising777,

What you did is really good work. Even if it was only one day, that can prove very effective. After casting, I would look for signs and movement to gauge the success of the working. Reconciliation work, in my experience, tends to take time though so you must be patient.

I do love working with 7 day candles so I think it's a great idea. What I find most useful in reconciliation spells though are moving candle spells and rituals.

In case you're not familiar, in the case of reconciliation, these are spells where you have two candles to represent both parties (and sometimes a third if we want to move an intruder away from another party...AND even sometimes a 4th to draw the intruder closer to a NEW person) that are moved closer together day by day, inch by inch while reciting specific passages of scripture..usuallly from the book of Psalms or the Song of Solomon, the latter being my preference for these.

There's a lot of energy, respect, and discipline that goes into performing moving candle spells.

I'd also back up the work by doing a sweeneting spell such as a honey jar upon which I'd burn a pink candle on top of every Mon Wed and Friday.

You should really invest in Deacon Millett's "Hoodoo Return and Reconciliation Spells" it's a lucky mojo brand book therefore available right here. It's jam packed with a wealth of information on the matter. I love it.

Thank you soooo much for all the info!

Are the candles that you are referring to figural?

Also, would I need a new pink candle for each day I do the sweetening work? Or can I just use the same candle?

What I’ve noticed about him is that he isn’t particularly mean or anything if I contact him about something. Even when I was telling him about my new job and how well it was going... he seemed genuinely happy for me through text. So he isn’t being terribly cold or showing anger.... he’s just answering things in a pretty normal way.

(This was his behavior before doing any of the spells though)

Not sure how he would behave now that I did the spells...but I’m really not thinking of contacting him any time soon... unless it’s just to exchange things.

VenusRising777 ,

He mentioned both 7 day candles and figure candles.

I would use a new 4 inch chime candle for each day. Carve your petition around it from top to bottom, dress it with the oils, put it on the jar and pray over it while also reading the psalms I mentioned in your other post.

It is important to keep contact open, many people come to reconciliation work when its dead and gone. however this does not mean blow up their phone lol, you sound judgement

Yes. I'm talking about figural candles for the moving candle spell. You could use one central vigil light to serve as the purpose candle and move the lights toward that one if you like.

As JayDee has mentioned, the chime lights is the best way to go for the honey jar. Occasionally i will use the 6in ones though.

Also, i completely agree with him on thw ipen line of communication. It can be something as simple as making sure you're clear on the location you will meet. Find a way to keep communication open without harassment lol
