Candles: How to Trim Carve Load Petition Pray Dress Arrange Light

ShadowyEmbrace · Unread post by **ShadowyEmbrace** » Fri Aug 13, 2010 1:36 am

Trying to figure out something extra to do today around dawn. I have a white glass encased candle and a white one that is in a red glass. I have Reconciliation oil, Balm of Gilead buds, Return to Me oil, Commanding oil, I Dominate My Woman oil, along with Reconciliation sachet powder and incense. Today is the friday that I've read will be good for love work. I also have Magnetic Sand and Loadestones. But I was thinking of using either of the seven day candles. Anyone have any recommendations I can fix up around sun up with the LM products I have handy?

Yes you can use the white candle for anything, even crossing work. The color correspondences just add to the energy of the spellwork.

Cool stars, thanks, thats what I thought.

What would you recommend on how I dress it with the LM products I have? I want it to be special. I have some rose petals even. Can I use the candle that is white and is encased in red glass? It's just I've been reading everyone on here saying today is suppose to be a good day for love and she is getting back from a family road trip I think it was late last night and I'm hoping she calls me

I was thinking of carving like "(Her name), my your heart be filled with romance in love toward me" and dressing it with Return to Me and Reconciliation oils along with some Balm of Gilead in it and writing out a special prayer, lighting it along with my honey jar candle and shaking my bottle at the same time for a few hours does that sound good? Or should I leave out the Balm of Gilead? could I use my Reconciliation incense in some other special way other than just burning it?

Evrything you mentioned sounds fine, just don't load the candle with too much burnable herbs or you will have a smoky, flaming mess on your altar. Some folks use the incense powder as a candle dressing, but again, go light on that.

Good luck to you!

Hi I would like some information on petitions. When lighting a candle I like to write my petition on parchment but I never seem to know what to do with the petition once the candle has been consumed.
Can someone give me some ideas.

thank you for such a quick response. I found the material very useful . My main work is basically to draw/attact things to the family but we live in an apartment complex. I was thinking that the best alternative would be to bury the petition in a potted plant. I like the idea of wraping it in foil and burying it in my potted basil plant. Again your feedback would be much appreciated.

Another thing the site said nothing about the front door but I was thinking too....how about placing a petition above the front door to attract. Ofcourse I would conceal it behind a photo.....just an idea I had while reading through the website.....what are your thoughts on this.

Petitions placed around the front door like you are speaking of are pretty common. Typically they are more of a protective nature than an attracting nature. However, there is an old time trick of placing a petition along with a pinch of five finger grass behind a picture in your living area so that when people first come into your home they are exposed to it and more likely to grant favors. I was taught this trick to use with difficult landlords and it has always worked for me

Another way to dispose of petitions is to burn them and either bury or spread the ash--You can spread it close to where you live if the intention is to draw something positive, if its to get rid of something negative I would not have it near my dwelling space.

good luck,

What if the petition just has ur name on it? I burned a purple candle that had, uncrossing, unjinx, success, health, road opener for got other two off hand. These were all on the outside of glass candle, it was seven in all. My name X on brown paper,what i'd like to know is what do i do with my name paper do i keep it or what? I disposed of candle in recycle bin, but still have name paper, should i keep it for further use?

This is the same candle i mentioned previously by the way. With that b n said, is that a good or bad sign. Thank in advance for any help. Be blessed

In your first post, you put all of those ingredient on ONE candle. Personally, that is too many intentions on ONE candle. That is just my personal opinion.

I would have done one candle with uncrossing, and unjinxing. Then another candle with road opener. Then another one for health and success. You cannot just dump all the ingredient on ONE candle. That is probably why you got a little bit of black soot at the top. I would do each candle seperately. As for what do you do with the petition....you dispose of it.

Here is the link of how to properly dispose. Please read this link thorougly.

Thank u mr starsinthesky, i do apologize that i wrote my question wrong. But i don't and do not just dump anything or oils into my candles. What i was saying to clear things up was that those were the words written on the outside of glass encased candle, unjinxing, uncrossing, success, health, money drawing, block buster. But the candle was purple that was the why i had bought the candle. I am on this forum to learn mr starsinthesky. And i did read the links on how to dispose of, which said to recyle n was good for enviroment, so i did as such, unless it was for evil works, which is sonething i don't do. As for petition with name on it, i read that also it did say that u can keep dependind up on ur works qnd dispose of at a proper time, did n see anything bout ur personal name meaning myself, that is why i asked. The second part of my question was a continuance from first. Thanks.

Oh by the way it was just one single glass encased purple candle, i used uncrossing oil and that was all. And was wonder n why it burnt it 5dys as oposed to 7dys. It burned quickly. And yes i did read that forum also as well. Thankz

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Sat Aug 21, 2010 8:08 am

So this one single candle was for unjinxing, uncrossing, wealth,etc? That was your intentions as it was written on the outside of the glass. My original statement is the same as that is too many intentions for one candle. In addition, purple would not be used for unjinxing, and uncrossing. If you are trying clear out negative obstacles, or if you have been jinxed, it is important to spend time on those steps. Each step is important, and that is just too much for one candle. Now you can use purple for money, and expansion. My question is what was the overall purpose of this candle?

The name paper is part of the contents to dispose. I am not sure why your candle burned so quickly, but you would have to get some divination for that.

Lastly, I understand you are here to try and learn.

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Sat Aug 21, 2010 9:15 am

fruitsmoothie and others,

Disposing of a petition paper in fire after burning a candle is a fairly individual practice. Not everyone does it the same way. The most popular method is to burn the paper in the candle flame right before it goes out. I do not always do this, and i'd like to explain why:

If you are burning free-standing an offertory, jumbo, or figural candle, setting the petition paper alight at the end is a great conclusion to the ritual. All it requires is having a brass dish on the alter in which to drop the burning paper, lest you scorch your fingers. The ashes from the petition paper can then be mixed with sachet powder and used to further the intention of the spell, according to the many ways in which powders are customarily employed.

However, if you are burning a glass-encased vigil light and wish to perform a divination on the glass after the candle is finished, either via ceromancy (wax reading) or capnomancy (smoke reading), then burning your petition paper inside the candle glass will definitely smoke the glass up and change the signs you would have seen had you left the glass alone. Because a clear, clean candle glass portends success, it would seem counter-productive to smoke up a clear glass at the end of the rite, by tossing the petition paper into it and setting it alight.

If, for this or any other reason, you do not want to dispose of the petition paper in fire, you should not feel bound to do so. There are many cases in which you might find it a good idea to save the petition paper for further use rather than to dispose of it. Such future use may include setting it under another candle, but that need not not necessarily be the case. Depending on the kind of spell work you are performing, you may wish to wear the petition paper in your shoe, carry it in your wallet, hide it over a door-frame, set it loose in running water, or save it for a continuation of the candle rite at a future date. The latter is especially the case if the petition has taken the form of a packet rather than a mere paper and contains personal concerns or herbs that your be difficult to replace if it were burned.

----

I shall add the four paragraphs above to my "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" page on disposal of ritual remains in fire so that people can find them more easily than by searching the forum.

Thanks for asking!

I accidentally threw away my condition oils this weekend. I am travelling and mixed up the bag with my oils with my leftover lunch and threw it out.

My question - until I can replace them, can I just use the accompanying herbs in and around the candles without having the condition oil to dress the candle as well? Will that be effective?

thanks

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 10:44 pm

Oils are the usual thing to dress candles, but herbs can be used too -- just don't use too much and make a flaming pile of herbs on the candles.

I don't know about "effective" -- but any time i do something so out there as throwing away magical supplies because i think they are my leftovers from lunch, i would want to check myself -- am i really putting my heart into this conjure work, if this really what i want to be doing?

AmaSarah · Unread post by **AmaSarah** » Sun Aug 29, 2010 11:19 pm

oh, yes, good point and I know it reads that way but I'm 1000% committed to what I am doing.

It was an honest mistake. I am typically very organized and compulsively neat and it was exactly that that caused me to throw the baggie away. At the end of each day I throw away everything I accumulate in my bag that day - muffin crumbs, lunch bag, bus passes, tour pamphlets, napkins, etc. I mistakenly assumed it was a bag of leftovers from some meal or snack. I had completely forgotten that I put the oils in there that morning out of some need to have them with me.

with me being on vacation and outside of my normal routine, I really think it was just a mistake. Plus I have that compulsion to throw things away - I live with and carry the bare minimum. In my everyday life, i don't even carry a purse.

If anything, and with me normally being so meticulous, I almost wonder if I was being sent a message. I had my protection oil in there because I've been doing all that break up and crossing work. Maybe something circled back to me. I dunno...

Hello,
I was just wondering, if she makes a tea out of the herbs and use the herb liquid in the candles will it be as effective as the oil if the herbs are propper for the intent?

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Mon Sep 20, 2010 3:15 pm

Water and candles don't mix since wax is oil based. If your candle is wet it can go out, or otherwise negatively effect your burn.

If she has the herbs to make the tea, she may as well just use a small pinch of the ground herbs to the candle as dressing.

hummm, never thought of it that way as far as oil and water. I was just thinking of a drop or two in the well of a candle, not totaly drinching it with the herb liquid. However just a pinch of ground herb does make sense. Ive learned that if you have too much herb it is possible to get a bad burn so that is why I thought about a drop or two of the tea in the well. This was just as thought and question not instructions.

Unread post by **Devi Spring** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 12:20 pm

Putting water in the well of a candle will cause splattering (of hot hot wax), sputtering of the flame, and all that can easily dowse a candle - even if it's only a few drops. Best to just use a pinch of dry herbs...and you're right, too many herbs can cause big flames that can be dangerous, or can crack and soot up the glass of vigil candles.

Thank you Devi,
Before I was able to purchase the good stuff (LM products) I used a water base scent in one of my candles and you are right, I did get a little sputtering effect.

Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Wed Sep 22, 2010 4:27 pm

What type of candle are you using? If it is a free-standing like a 4" or a 6" or a Jumbo candle from LM, then you can grind up the herbs and roll the candle in the herbs. If dressed with oil it'll stick nicely. If not, you can sprinkle some herbs on softened beeswax and roll the candle in that.

If you are using a glass-encased or vigil candle then poke a couple holes on top of the candle and stick the herbs in there.

Hey ConjureMan,

Dont know if you were replying to me or AmaSarah. Any hooo.... I was using glass encased vigils.

I was wondering is there an easier way to get the grounded herbs down in the wells. I was reading that it would be a good thing to get the dressing through out the wax if possible. I am waiting for my order (very large:) yea!) which has the "Hoodoo Herb & Root Magic" book by Cat and "The Magic Candle" book by Charmaine Dey in addition to "The Master Book of Candle Burning" by Henri Gamache, and I know that I would probably find my answers within those books, however while waiting I was wondering if there is a particular way or order that you are suppose to set lights on the alter. Is there a pattern, grouping, etc.?

Thanks,

Blessing

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 2:59 pm

Blessing, the way you are working is not really traditional.

There is no lesson in my book on shoving ground-up herbs into vigil candles because ... well, in my shop, in the way i was taught conjure, in the way we work, we dress candles with oils.

You can roll dressed candles in herbs, but that's for free-standing candles.

When it comes to setting vigil lights, you dress, pray over, and set them, but there are no set "patterns" that you must use. The placing of free-standing candles on an altar may be done according to a visual pattern, depending on what you are doing. Gamache covers this thoroughly in The Master Book of Candle Burning, which you have ordered.

I suggest that you study and learn more about the history, methodology, and customs of our work. This page from "Hoodoo in Theory and Practice" is a good starter:

Obviously candles need to be cleansed before lighting what would you suggest is the best thing to cleanse them with?

Will plain water do?

Unread post by **catherineyronwode** » Thu Sep 23, 2010 7:07 pm

Mmmm. Candles do NOT "obviously" need to be cleansed before burning.

I'd say that 99% of folks DON'T cleanse their candles, and they get good results.

The idea of cleansing candles is mostly associated with people working in the religions of Santeria, Voodoo, and Palo. Folk Catholics of the USA and European type, and most hoodoo practitioners, do not cleanse candles before use. I don't think Hindus do either. Nor Muslims. I may be wrong on the Hindus and Muslims, but none of them have ever instructed me to cleanse a candle before use.

We just prepare a petition, affix it to the candle or lay it under the candle, dress the candle, pray over the candle, seal or knock the candle, and light the candle.

Whatever you do, don't get water on your candle -- there are whole threads in here about people who washed their candles with water and then felt they'd gotten a "bad sign" because the residual water put their flame out. Silliest thing i ever heard -- 'cause OF COURSE water drowns a fire.

If you feel the need to cleanse a candle before use, use Hoyt's Cologne. It'll evaporate quickly and won't put your flame out.

You can knock the bottom of the candle on the table 3 times to seal it. i generally do a sign of the cross over the candle, and then knocks it the 3 times when I am through dressing it.

Hello everyone, I hope I placed this in the right forum

I would like some advice on what to do. I have been praying to a St. Martha vigil and this is my 6th Tuesday. I have made a few mistakes but feel that I am keeping her altar cleansed well. I have incorporated a cleansing bath before I pray to her and am hoping she responds well to me. I started out with asking her to stop my divorce, to break up his girlfriend and him, and to bring him back to me. Well I decided to write several small petitions but now I am writing a name paper crossed out with my command. Is this ok? I have been really searching for what is proper with this St. and am not getting the information. Also, I wanted to do another petition, should I burn another candle and have two of St. Martha candles burning? I realize I am going to have to go beyond the 9 tuesdays but I am ok with that because I really look forward to praying to her. I have made these changes because of the low flame activity. When I first started the flame was jumping all over, then from the 3rd Tuesday until now my flame is burning low. I read several divinations on the flame and either there is opposition but to keep it going or I am wondering if St Martha is not happy with me!! Could any of you give me some insight?

Unread post by **starsinthesky7** » Mon Oct 11, 2010 11:52 pm

No you do not have to use several candles. And the 9 Tuesdays of prayer is only one way of working with her. You can keep praying until you feel like your prayers are answered. I think you need to concentrate less on this is number 6 tuesday and so on. Just pray to her and let all that go. You need to get a reading to see what other addition work you need to do, and what the low flame means. Several readers give 10 minute readings.

Wow, came home on Tuesday evening after a long day at work and checked on my St. Martha candle. The candle was burning clear and flame seemed strong and not sluggish. There was alot of activity with jumping and dancing. The only thing I did different was to take a cleansing bath before praying to her and wrote out a name paper. Previously there was a small ring of wax but everything is clear now and burning beautiful. Oh I did burn some incense along with my prayer time which I extended also. What are your thoughts about this change?

Unread post by **JayDee** » Thu Oct 14, 2010 8:36 am

The candle's progress can be due to the bath and insense burning, using both are good and ideal to use when doing work. Or it can be the natural process of the candle burning. IE the glass got hot melted the ring of wax, clean burn etc. Candle interpretation often is personal so go with the gut. LM has a section on candle interpretation I would start there.

Hello Everyone!

I hope everyone is doing well.

One of my close friends is African American, and recently I met her God Mother. The lady is really nice, and very wise. I love sitting and just chatting with her about everything in regards to the South. I used to live in the South, and I grew up around a lot of African Americans.

She invited me over for dinner one night, and I went. When I got there; I realized from the objects around the room, and the altars in different corners of the house that she definitely practiced some sort of spiritual exercise. I enquired about a white candle on a honey jar. The candle was white, but had these red streaks, almost orange in color. She informed me that the candle was dressed with oils, and menstral blood. I asked her which oils, and LO and BEHOLD she mentioned Lucky Mojo products. When I went to the restroom, she had a display cabinet with a collection of I would like to say every oil LM has ever made. I smiled, because it is cool to know someone who has the same interest.

She informed me that the honey jar was to sweeten a particular man to a particular woman. The blood she used was the woman's menstral blood. She told me is one of the most powerful forms of dressing a candle.

My question here is: Is it common practice in Hoodoo to dress a candle with blood?

Thank you all so much for sharing the wisdom and knowledge that you each have in order for everyone to learn.

With prayers,
Brida

Candles can be dressed with either menstrual blood or seamen and used for spells to attract a lover or control/dominate a lover in this way. I have not heard of other spells that use blood, nor have I use of blood other than menstrual blood being used in Hoodoo spells, but perhaps Miss Cat will be able to share if there there are spells which utilise other forms of blood.

Unread post by **ConjureMan** » Mon Oct 18, 2010 9:40 pm

There are very few conjures or works that use any other blood besides menstrual. However, dressing a candle with oil and sexual fluids is powerful work and combines the straight-foward magick of candle work with the primal power of sex--something that conjure is not afraid of doing.

The sexual fluid is used with the specific intent of drawing that person to you and binding them to you. Good luck.
