THE
ART OF MAGICKAL CANDLE BURNING
The light of the candle flame has been used throughout
the ages to illuminate our way. In many magickal practices, candle burning
has been used as the main way to bring thoughts, goals and wishes into
physical reality. The most basic form of magick is to use colored candles,
oils and herbs for their "vibrations". Another way of bringing
more specific requests into form is the carving of sigils on the candle
itself before burning. A sigil is a representation of a specific request
intent created into an abstract design. Many amulets and talismans are
created with sigils. The purpose of the sigil in candle magick is to
release the information into the Astral Realm and then back to our Earthly
Plane as the candle burns. As above, so below. Before we do anything
physical it is created as a thought form on the astral level. An astral
plane is the spiritual world, the place where all matter that is not
physical exists.
Your "magickal will" is worked through your subconscious mind,
it is the power that directs the seal on the candle into the astral
plane. What you believe will manifest. If you consciously believe in
what you are doing it will happen. Should you say negative statements
behind your work (such as "Does this really work?" or "Nothing
is happening!") you defeat your magkical work on a conscious level
immediately. So don't think negatively. You must think positive thoughts
to bring what you wish to you.
Usually once the candle burns past the carved sigil, the spell has noticeably
started to produce results. Sometimes there is a delayed reaction however,
as the universe knows the proper timing of events for the correct results.
To further enhances the candle's power, refer to the magickal
correspondense list.
Many people today still enjoy the self empowerment and mystical qualities
of candle burning that keeps the practice alive and flourishing.
At New Dimensions we carry many of the basic candle colors, oils and
herbs required for your own candle burning rituals. Or if you prefer,
Karen will hand carve a special candle for just about any intentions
you may have. Please remember that in any magickal workings, what you
send out comes back to you threefold. We do not believe in negative
magick and will not produce any product that willfully harms another
person.
Blessed Be!
