Holy balls.. well I notice an add that I intentionally did not put on this site. It loads up some newspaper like thing and you have to hit SKIP, to get to where you were going. Well THAT has got to go. Sometimes monetizing your site..(the ads..placed in sidebars on my site, can be frustrating and I think the culprit is that big company where u see ‘put your add here’ . Coz I clearly aint interested and you probably arent either about some newspaper that isnt even in your town ugh. AND another thing that annoyed me.. and you dont know this until you start browsing around your own site when you need something is.. my navigation. omg what a mess that STILL is.. im trying to find my own post i made about candle colors and im totally lost SOO.. imma work on that today! xo Blessings!!

edit – FOUND the candle color guide, is here! also added: a search box, an archives widget and a recent posts widget to the sidebar. hope this helps us ALL! =)

This spell uses fire as its vehicle, not as candle magick but in your cauldron. You use an incantation and can also use magickal ink and parchment if you wish. The spell is best done at night-time and in using the power of the number three is not just for lust, but also for love.

You Will Need: Your cauldron or a fireproof container, a piece of paper, pen and red ink, fragrant wood or herbs to burn (you could use apple birch or cedar)

Method: Light a small fire in your cauldron or container, cut out a piece of paper that is 10cm x 10 cm (about 3×3 inches). With the pen and red ink draw a heart on the paper and color it in. Next you write the name of the person that you desire on the heart three times. If you wish to do this from the edge to the middle in a spiral, to signify how deepo your love goes. While doing this, be thinking of her or him and their heart buring with desire for you, just like the flames of the fire.

Kiss the names on the heart three times, then place the paper in the fire while saying these words three times: Soon my love will come to me, This is know that it must be, Fire come from this wood, bring love and caring that it would. Make our hearts glow and shine, bringing love that shall be mine!

Sit quietly as the paper burns, visualizing your lover coming towards you. After you are finished concentrating a few more minutes, extinguish the fire.

Say quietly three times: So let it be.

Do not get impatient if nothing happens for a while. Simply have the confidence that you will be given an opportunity to have a relationship with this particular person. How you handle the relationship thereafter is up to you.

Today is the first day of the new moon and its current sign is Aries. A good time for Love Spells, Sun Magick, Mars Magick, Inspirational or Creativity rituals, contacting Gods and Goddesses of War, harnessing the power of the Wind or Fire. Gather up your candles, Aries Moon loves candle magick and work on self or anything of a creative nature. A good time to start projects if your seeking abundance! Favored colors are red and favored Gemstones are Bloodstone, Ruby, Garnet, and Diamond

I had a creative moment and im not really too good with poetry but this seems to sound pretty darn good. whatcha think? I no spells dont HAVE to rthym but its nice when they do.. see i cant even spell it! lol Okay , maybe its not PROPER poetry, but to meee it sounds good PLUS i think i concocted a very good one considering its SPRING and things are springing back into life at this very moment, so give it a go and see how it works for YOU :)

He and me shall always be,closer knit than a newborn tree.

As limbs unfurl and gain new flowers his love for me begins to shower

storms are brewing stronger and stronger

winds flash thru in this mighty hour!

feeling his feelings he can not deny!

stronger they grow, in the blink of an eye.

he showers me with unending love

divine forces, as i will… so mote it be!

– What do you need? Well heres what *I* suggest (and used btw). I invoked Goddess Hecate coz she’s the one I adore and i used a Goddess Affirmation candle which can be found HERE . and i used the Goddess Hecate affirmation found on the right sidebar of this site –>> .

After I got my candle charged up with Goddess Hecate love and energies,   I lit it and said the following to Invoke Her:

Great Hecate!
You who are the night,
You who are the darkness, the moon above.
Triple goddess, come unto me!
Grand Hecate, I call ye!
Be here oh Queen of Heaven
Unto me oh Queen of Hell!
You who command all things!
You from whom all magic flows!
Great Mystery, oh Shadow of Darkness,
Hecate, I invoke Thee!

===

Then I lit my YELLOW candle – its my desire candle i been using all week for the same purpose and said the poem I created above and then I will let it burn all the way down.

The Basics Of Candle Magick. A guide.

Consecrating your candles: If you are going to use a candle, before you do, you should focus for a moment or two on your intent. You should charge your candle. Call on deity and draw in energies from the universe. You should feel, in your hand, the candle pulsating as though it’s a heart beat you feel in your hand. Play with this feeling, know it’s right. You may get side-tracked thinking it’s just your grasp. Tighten the grip, loosen it, it doesn’t matter how tightly or how loosely you hold the candle. If you feel a pulsating sensation in your hand with that candle, you are shooting energy into it and you are ready for the next step.

If you are going to use oils on the candle (consecrating) you would rub your oils between the palms of your hands and grasp at the center of the candle with both hands. If you are to draw something to you – you would rub the candle from the middle back towards the body. If you are sending something out, you would rub from the center and away from your body. Turn the candle around and do the same, as mentioned before.

You could say something like: Charge this candle strong and fast, To send the magick I will cast. And may this oil add its power, as the flame burns by the hour

Omens and other things: Thoughts and ideas mainly, people reach their own conclusion based on their own beliefs. If you believe one way, it’s not necessary to change your ways just because someone says so, however here are some common belief’s in case you hadn’t known.

It is not unusual for a candle to flicker of flare – this could be a sign that entities that have been summoned are manifesting themselves and are lending their powers to the magick being made.

A weak flame could be an indication that there is strong opposition and you could try working our spell at another time or day.

You should never use the same candle for two different spells. If it is an ongoing spell its perfectly fine to continue using that same candle, but don’t use a candle that you are working a love spell on and suddenly decide red would be a good color candle to use on a health related spell, simply because you don’t have another red one. Not a good idea.

Always remember that a simple white candle, can be substituted for any other color.

Special papers: many who practice candle magick write out what they wish for on a piece of parchment paper using a quill or a fountain pen to do so. You would then anoint the paper with essential oil that you used to anointed your candle with. You would use the candle you were casting the spell with to light the paper on fire and then place the lit paper in a fireproof dish and allow it to burn out completely. The ashes could be buried along with the stumps of the candle that is left over from the ritual/spell.

I’m excited to offer some free witchcraft books (47 of them actually!!) PDF format! Bookmark and download.

You will find these free witchcraft e-books,  listed on the sidebar. Just look for the PDF icon, as shown on this post, to go download the witchcraft books.

Here is one of them and I will continue to add them on a regular basis. Some of these witchcraft e-books could be considered dark, dangerous and satanic oriented as well. Please read thoroughly before proceeding with caution!!! Some of these free witchcraft e-books have rare spells and information you won’t find anywhere else and some are quite historic in nature. Before dabbling, be sure you know what you are getting yourself into. If merely reading these pages sends chills up your spine or scares you, chances are you should just delete the sucker at that point and dont look back. Also use caution in reading some contents of the books, merely absorbing some of the information could render you some pretty bad nightmares LOL .. to say the least ;)

A Spell to Evoke a Romantic Response If you are attracted to someone but there is no response, this spell may do the trick. It won’t make them fall for you, but it will make sure that nothing stands in the way. The spell works best if it is cast on a Friday.

You will need:

A wine glass, plain gold ring, 80 cm of red ribbon, A crystal of rose quartz,  A bowl of red flowers,  A picture of the person you wish to attract, if available.

Stand the wine glass on your altar.

Thread the ribbon through the ring to make a pendulum and, holding the ribbon between your thumb and forefinger, let the ring hang in the rim of the glass, without letting it touch the sides . Say aloud your name and the name of the person you are attracted to.

Pause for a moment then repeat both names again and then once more. Look at the picture (if you don’t have one, bring one into your mind’s eye) and spell their name out loud. As you say each letter, let the ring tap against the glass.

Tie the ribbon round your neck, the ring resting on your heart and bring the magic making to an end.Wear it for three weeks, taking it off only to repeat the spell on the next three Fridays. If after the end of the third week there has been no sign that your interest is being reciprocated, then perhaps it’s time to realize that some things are never meant to be.

Below are the notes I took from this video, I thought it would be helpful. You can find the video on youtube or view it below.

Things you will need:

Candle, lighter, piece of paper, something to burn the paper in, pencil, something to stir with.

Gather up the above items and sit down, get comfortable and release your tensions. Imagine what you want. Meditate on what you desire and imagine having it and what it would be like to have, what you desire. See yourself, having what you want.

Write your wish down on a piece of paper and then light your candle. Release tensions inside you, release anxieties, focus on the flame. Imagine a ball of white light in your chest & surrounding the candles’ flame.

Say the following Affirmation: Behold I connect myself to the powers of the Universe.

Imagine rising up above the Universe and looking down below.

Say the following Affirmation: There is one power in the Universe, and i am a perfect manifestation of that power.

Open your eyes and take that paper and say this affirmation: There is one power in the Universe and I am a perfect manifestation of that power. And as such I will, that even as this paper burns, so too shall this which I have written come to pass. May it  come to me easily and with harm towards none. I will it. I draw it to me. I manifest it. I accept it. I recieve it. I give thanks for it. By my will, so mote it be

Set the paper on fire. Imagine a ball of white light around it. Hold as long as possible and then place it in the burning dish until its gone. Use a stick or knife to move it so that it doesnt burn on just one side. Repeat the last affirmation again on any pieces which do not burn. How quickly your paper burns is an omen as to how long it will take to manifest.

Once you are done, do not dwell on it or think that it will not work, if you feel you are going to obsess over it simply say, I put myself in a position of love and trust, knowing that what i want shall come. Then imagine stepping over a half step to the left. You are done.

This is a very simple, yet effective spell. I did not need to use anything special. I did use my Full Moon Candle however and use my Full Moon Candle when I need to use, or feel I need to use, Full Moon’s Energies. There is a vast array of candles in many colors you can use. I wouldn’t use a votive that has been sitting around the house for days on end, or a taper candle you have hanging on a wall sconse. I would bring out something like I did, or bring out something that hasnt been sitting around your house or home that maybe have gathered negative energies. If you are interested in buying a Full Moon Candle, or any other moon aspect candle, then please go to my store at www.sheburns.com

Ooh you should if you haven’t lol Those mp3’s  I put up are simply amazing and I really hope you do them and get something out of them. Spiritual awakening? Something good is bound to happen. You will feel simply fabulous afterwards! I got to warn you though and I probably already should have (oops lol), ya really need to find a SAFE spot to do this. One where you dont find yourself falling off a chair onto a hard floor, because lemme tell ya, You will be so relaxed you’re going to be floating sky high.. and I mean that literally.

I became so relaxed and was in such a trance state listening to this. There was a point where I became “aware” to my surroundings. I put it in quotations like that because this is what happened to me. I was in this deep state , yet aware. My legs were floating (felt like it) My whole body probably was, but I had this super odd feeling that it was just my legs. I took my hands and pressed down on my legs (like i thought that’d help lol) Nada, didnt work.

I then became very frightened because I was somewhere “in between”. I tried to yell out, scream, etc and NOTHING would come out of my mouth. Talk about flippin a person out!

I have to wonder WHY I became “aware” at the point that I did. Just about the time was to work on my throat chakra is where it all started. Maybe my mind wasn’t ready for what could happen. Maybe I just wasn’t ready to be on that Plane. I’m thinking its something blocking me. fear perhaps? I don’t know, but I am going to attempt it again tomorrow. I had fully intended on doing it the day after, but it was such a freaky experience, I held off.. plus I am not feelin’ so hot and don’t think I could completely relax anyway.

Nevertheless It’s a great set to try. I have a very hard time getting into such a state, maybe this is why, im scared lol Dont like the feeling of being out of control. I am a bit of a control freak on a daily basis and have to have things just so-so. Now I will be adding some SMASHING mp3s here soon, not tonight, I’m worn out, but these are hypnotic downloads for you. If you are feeling bad about yourself or have a lack of self-esteem then you definitely want to bookmark this site because THAT’S whats coming your way. 2 hypnotic downloads you can use and they really will change your outlook on things. Be careful with that self-esteem one though. You might find your self a wee bit TOO cocky and may wind up getting bitch slapped.

Blessed be!! xo

I love buying things. Candles especially! I got a nice supply of candles, considering that’s my “strong suit” and I do well with candle magick. Low and behold though, I just didn’t have the things I needed to do a particular spell I wanted to do. I have a hard time focusing (add trait im afraid lol) and wind up wanting to do 50 different spells during the full moon. Can never decide which one I want to do until last minute and that sudden urge and passion just takes over, all to get stomped out because I’m…

Bargain Books: Save 50% off select titles! New books are added each month. Check back often to see what’s new in specially discounted titles from Llewellyn. Free shipping on U.S. orders over $25.

lacking a baby blue candle lol  Granted.. if you look online LONG enough, you will find a site that lists colors.. for what you want, but after I spend an hour or so searching, well heck I’m too tired to fiddle with it and go to bed. There’s passion for ya lol

Here’s what I am going to do. If you’re having the same issues as me, then follow along :)

I am going to decide on 5 different spells I want to do during the Full Moon. First I’ll make a list of a bunch of them and then narrow it down to 5. Then I am going to do my research. Get timing down, try to gather supplies and go from that point. Eliminating spells as supplies become elusive.

Lets say I want to work on a healing spell for myself. I’ll try to gather what I need and focus on that. The healing spell being the primary spell I will cast for the upcoming Full Moon, I’ve got until…just before April 28th. I think I can make it. Then I am going to post the research I do, the required supplies etc and timing for you all , incase you would like to do a healing spell too. See > I narrowed my big fat list of magick spells i want to do on a full moon writing this very post. Well, I didnt actually because as I was writing this long ass post, I also decided I need to work on myself on other levels too, maybe I can get something gathered up for the New Moon and do it at THAT one… which gives me until April 14th :)

and.. an OMG. OVER 40 MINUTES!! Please enjoy, on my dime. I love this, cant say enough positive things about this mp3.

I had to share this second part faster , than i had intended. piss on 3 times a week updates.. people dont want more than that. well if your in dire need, like i was. your gonna want it as soon as you can get it. sooo here it is. i absolutely love this 2 mp3 set. and just so ya know, i had this shipped from London a few years ago. ripped it to my laptop so i could listen to it on it. which i never did coz i was afraid of it. but please, if you are feeling stressed at ALL take the plunge and do this. dont put it off like i did. fear not. its an awesome meditation. follow along and before you know it. your going to be on the way to some powerful healing. within. and with out. This is really powerful. I am so glad i just gave in to any inhibitions and just went for it. I love things, that provide a bit of excitement and this certainly does and  my ONLY hope is that you will share this with anyone you care for, that could use this.

BOOKMARK THIS SITE.  SUBSCRIBE TO MY RSS FEED

The next thing I will be adding to the MP3 section for all freely registered users is the “Your Wish Is Your Command” 14 cd set which sells for nearly 3oo bucks! If this helps you, so be it. If it doesnt, its free.. and well you werent out a DIME!

This is an awesome mp3 set. Well this post its self only has the short relaxation mp3. You can use it alone, but it’s really meant to be used with the next one I will be adding later on.

Why do *i* like this meditation sooo much? Well for one I’m not *nobody*, but I am a body that has a real hard time with meditating. Everything wants to twitch & itch and whenever I do get calmed down, settled and totally relaxed, the dogs bark, the cat knocks something over. You name it. Then usually… I wind up falling asleep.

This first mp3 included in this post is a little over 6 minutes long. Once you get the other one and play them back to back, the recordings are set up so that there is NO noticable break between the two. That is probably because i purchased the cd and ripped it to my computer so i could use it on my laptop because my mp3 players’ charger got destroyed accidentally.

There was something about the cd that scared me. I’d never worked with my chakra’s before.. what would happen? I didn’t know and I hadn’t done any research… at all.. I did last night though.. AFTER I used the mp3’s lol –  Coz things happened and I had some questions! And I will get into that later :)~

Full Moon Magick

Our next Full Moon is March 30th. Have you been thinking about what it is you’re going to work on? I have been debating on what to do a spell on. I don’t necessarily need to do a spell JUST because it is the Full Moon, but I have so many different things going on in my mind, I just don’t know where to start or what to work towards.

I have some super witchy spell candles and they’re just dying to be LIT! I can feel it lol I sit at my desk and type this and I can smell their delicious scent, wanting to just carry me away and make everything better. But when you don’t have focus, its kind of hard to do just let it do that.

I think my biggest problem is -1. focus and 2. creativity. I have lots of creative ideas but trying to create that one thing that’s going to wind up ending all my money woes … I know I have it in me, I just need a little guidance, so perhaps this is the month where I use the Full Moons power to create focus in my life. Sounds like a plan to me!

What’s your goals? Got any? I’m sure you probably do. There’s bound to be something that’s been on your mind, if not you’re pretty lucky :)

So, here’s what you should do. Put a list together of everything that’s bothering you, or things you need to do. Then prioritize that list ie. 1,2,3,4 etc… and then go with the ONE thing that’s most important to you, at that very moment, while looking at that list. Next, figure out what color candle you need, find out what if any other elements you need, that relate to what it is that you’re going to work on.

Click here to view the embedded video.

I’m soooo looking forward to having a “plot” when i do my videos, but for now, what you see is what you get ;) Was fun though all in all and I hope to do some really cool informative videos in the near future. A new Podcast coming up next.. within the next couple days. Tonight if I’ m lucky :)

My Candles

If this is your first visit, things are a mess ! Hell I don’t even know where to begin. So I started out by changing some things on the theme. Hopefully I’ve made them more readable. Myself, my eyes are a little fuzzy these days, must be an age thing. Sooo I certainly don’t want anyone else to struggle to read what i write.

I’ve lots of ideas burning a hole in my brain right now, trying to figure out where to start without boring you or making you undo your lil subscription to my RSS feed.

I want to bring focus to my site so you at least know what you’re getting into at first glance and not just stumbling over the content like Bella in the middle of the woods. (if you’re not a Twilight fan, you’ve no clue what I’m talking about).

I want to do videos and add way more podcasts than what I’ve been dishing out. I’ve been focusing on a few of my other sites and it’s time to bring my most popular site, this one, to the front lines instead of the backburner, so bear with me while I grab hold of a candle, focus reaaaaaaaaal hard and get my ass in gear!

Last but not least, I’d like to guide your attention to my new candle store, www.SheBurns.com

Moon Info

So, you’ve discovered that the Moon is in Pisces and you’re wondering what kind of magick you could do during that particular astrological Moon. Well when the moon is in Pisces it’s a good time to work on your psychic abilities.

“Psychic abilities you say?”

” Yes, those. You have them dontcha know! We ALLLLLLLLL do!!”    and if you’re not feeling me here, well you should be.

All you have to do is learn to tap into them. Perseverance is all you need. So you light a candle and focus and nothing happens. That’s day ONE and you’re ready to throw in the towel on that whole bullshit about having Psychic abilities. Rome wasn’t built in a day so they say and it’s true I guess although I’ve never done any research on it, just taking for granted its true because my mama said so.

Here’s my advice if you’re looking for what you can get your little magick wand into and that’s go grab a candle and light it, but before you do search for some really cool affirmations on-line, or here, in the future.. (I’ve not gotten that far yet). Now of course you want all the bells and whistles and the mystical feelings that goes along with it, but really you don’t need any of that crap that’s going to cost you an arm and two legs. All you need is something to focus with (candle) and your own desire to bring these psychic abilities to life.

What do you see in the flame as it flickers? Stay focused, be aware and it all works out in the end. Continue to do this on a daily basis. Having a candle to use for that very purpose is helpful. Just use it for that very purpose alone. If you’ve a whole shit-load of candles like me, then be sure to remember which is which. :) Simple really. Do it every day until you really feel it happening, then we can work on something more advanced :)

Your Aura

Our being is more than just our physical body. We have a complex energy system, comprised of our Aura, our Chakras or energy centres & the Meridians or energy channels. The life force that feeds our soul is known as the Universal Life Force or Chi Energy. Our soul requires this complex system to direct & channel this energy to sustain our soul. In later lessons we will look at the Chakras & Meridians in detail but to begin with we learn about the Aura.

What Is The Aura.

It is a well known fact that everything that exists in the known universe is made from atoms. These microscopic particles are themselves made from even smaller particles. It is generally thought that the basis for the smallest particles known to man, is some form of vibrating energy. It can be said that everything in existence is fundamentally just vibrating energy.

The Aura is believed to be electromagnetic radiation caused by the vibrating energy from within the particles that make up the atoms. The Aura around the human body consists of electromagnetic energy in the form of waves. The lower frequencies are related to functions of our body like metabolism and circulation. The higher frequencies are related to our conscious and subconscious minds like our emotions and our personality.

Some scientists including Michael Farraday & Thomas Edison, started to encounter the electro magnetic field that surrounds the body during their experiments. Since then Russian scientist S. D. Kirlan developed kirlian photography. Also called electro-photography, it is the technique of recording the electromagnetic field around a living organism.

In terms of psychic development the Aura is a representation of who we are and what our current state of being is. By looking at the aura we can get a sense of what state of mind a person is in and also an indication of the state of their health. Most importantly the Aura can tell us about the level of a person’s spiritual growth. The greater a persons spiritual connection becomes, the higher the frequency at which their Aura vibrates.

Although everything has an Aura from inanimate objects through to plants, animals and human beings, the Auras of living beings are different from that of inanimate objects. The Auras of living beings will change overtime depending on their spiritual and physical state. Our Aura’s change depending on whether we are in good health or not. It will also change as we experience different emotions and as we learn and grow spiritually. If a person or place has a negative effect on our Aura by draining its energy, it can give that person a feeling of wanting to move away, Often described as a gut feeling or instinct that they just don’t like that person or place. This can be caused by a lack of equilibrium between two Auras, if one Aura is more dominant than the other it can over power that Aura. Or if one Aura is damaged and needs to be healed it can drain energy from a healthier Aura. The message is then passed from the Aura into the nervous system of the physical body, giving us an uncomfortable feeling. The Aura of an inanimate object will remain generally the same. The exception to this is when the emotional state of a person affects their perception of what the Aura looks like.

The Subtle Bodies

The human Aura consists of several layers called energy bodies or subtle bodies of which there are at least Four, but it is claimed there could be as many as Severn.

The First layer closest to the physical body is the Ethereal Body. This has the lowest frequency.

Next is the Astral Body. This has a slightly higher frequency and is outside of the Ethereal Body.

Outside of the Astral Body is the Mental Body which has higher frequency again.

Then there is the Spiritual Body & possibly more bodies with even higher frequencies.

How To See The Aura.

The Aura extends just outside the solid edge of an object or person but it cannot be seen simply by looking directly at the edge. The Eyes are designed to see light which is electromagnetic energy. The range of frequencies that our eyes are sensitive to are known as the colours that we are all familiar with. The Aura consists of frequencies that are outside of this range, however it is believed that our peripheral vision can pick up some frequencies that are lost when we look directly at something. This means that to see a persons Aura we need to concentrate our sight just inside the edge of that person allowing us to see their Aura in our peripheral vision.

When you first start to see Aura’s there is a temptation to move our eyes to directly look at it, however when we do this we can no longer see it so it is important not to give in to this temptation and instead keep the edge of a person and therefore their Aura just outside the centre of our vision.

Candle Making

Making your own candles are easy and fairly inexpensive. You can always go to the local store and buy some candles, but you wouldn’t believe how much more effective your candles are when you make them yourself and when I make candles for people I always make them from scratch.

You Will Need:

1. Paraffin wax (the kind of wax you would find at the grocery store in the canning section).

2. Crayons

3. Candle wicks

4. popsicle sticks or clothes pins

5. old jars, old candle votive glasses etc.

6. double burner (or large pot for boiling water and another pot that will sit inside of the larger pot)

7. baking soda (for fires just incase! Better yet have a fire extinguisher)

Get water to boiling and keep it hot, sit the other pot inside the larger pot that has the boiling water in it. Put your parriffin wax block into the smaller pot and let it melt. The paraffin wax that you buy at the market wont make alot so you should really buy a few of those. For now we will focus on one candle and getting it done. Once you do that one candle its a piece of cake afterwards and you’ll be able to judge later on, just how much wax you would need for larger projects.

I usually buy a few boxes of cheaper crayons and use those for color. Choose the color you want your candle to be and put the crayon in there and melt it. Your wax will turn out to be the color of the crayon. Using more than one crayon will make your color alot more vibrant.

Once you melt your wax your ready to fill your votive with wax. Position the wick so its in the center of your votive. If the container is small enough I would use a clothes pin to center it and leave it until its dry. The drying process takes a while so just sit your candle aside until its finished drying.

There you have it. Simple and cheap method of creating your own candles. It goes without saying that melted wax is hot so be sure to keep potholders handy. Never put out a wax fire with water, but use a fire extinguisher or baking soda.

The next how to will be how to make it into a spell candle! :) Don’t worry you can use these candles you made for that, but theres also another step that could be done to make it a magic candle before you even pour your wax into the votive.

Moon Info

When the moon in Aries it is a good time to do magick for things you want not necessarily what you need. Probably also a good time to be really thoughtful about it if you can settle down long enough to do that..settle down as in, you might feel particularly “wound up” right now. Could be too much coffee or it could be the uninhibited nature that surrounds the moon in Aries.

The moon in Aries is a time that leaves you not focusing and you may find yourself being impulsive so be careful what you wish for. Word it very carefully, chances are you’re real excited about something right now so be sure to focus as best you can! You may particularly find yourself immersed in mysticism and really be diving head first in magick. Soo just use some common sense and enjoy the outcome :)

Moon Info

The moon in Aquarius is a good time to cast spells when you need to do some problem solving. A good candle color to use would be blue. (white if you don’t have any blue ones handy).

I would do a spell that is going to help you in situations where you feel you need to bring a point across or just meditate to clear your mind of frustrations. By meditating first however you may find that your situation isn’t as bad as you had thought it was. Clear yourself of the stress of TODAY before you act on something that could really have a negative effect on tomorrow..

Relationships suffer, they always do, but meditation during this particular astrological moon phase can make things seem less chaotic than you might think.

What magick will you perform during this full moon? now is the time for spells and working on prosperity, spiritual growth etc. Don’t let another full moon pass you by and create some magick on the full moon. Spells are a powerful thing and you should use caution when creating your own spells if you’re not used to doing it. Be sure to do a little research first or get a spell off a trusted source before just going in head first.

You’ve a whole cycle to get your house in order so to speak, so if casting a spell this month just isnt in the cards for you, prepare for the next full moon and be armed with some knowledge and make things happen!

This podcast deals with three essential things we need to perform magick spells. Whether it be candle magick, or any kind of magick spells, it all begins with us and our simple essential skills we learn over time, but never took the time to fine tune and then wonder where our magick spells went wrong when it doesn’t work out. These are simple skills to attain, do not cost anything and can make your magick endeavors improve by leaps and bounds!

Today marks our Blue Moon, which is a very powerful moon for intense and elaborate magick spells! My Goddess that I revere is Hecate and this morning, early mind you, i lit my Hecate magick candle and charged it as well as performed money magick using a gold magick candle. Both of those i purchased at Sacred Mists store.. (link on the right in the column).

Hecate, Guardian of the Crossroads

Lend me your dagger to cut away the unnecessary to find my true power
Lend me your rope to hold fast to that which I still need
Lend me your torch to illuminate the shadows
Gift me with the sacred key to unlock the mysteries of life
Show me my choices and give me the insight and strength
to always choose the right path

Hecate, Bringer of Wisdom

Awaken me from my deep slumber
to help me understand the meaning beyond illusion
In understanding the mysteries of life
I shall know the greater mysteries of my self
Help me understand the wisdom of the darkness
and weave me into the web of your knowing

Hecate, Threefold Goddess

Bring unto me your powers of earth, sea and starry night sky
Show me your cycles of birth, life and death
Guide me on my never-ending quest for knowledge
so that I may always know my true self in body, mind and spirit
Bless me with your magick, wisdom, and inspiration
so that I may never falter from my true path
So Mote It Be

Select a candle and its color you wish to work with to create your magic candle. What do you have in mind? Do you want to practice raising energy? Maybe experiment with what you can do with a magick candle? Are you going to be working a magick candle spell?

Here’s what I did the other night. Granted I’ve not been actively practicing and one of those people that brought out the herbs, magick candles and magick books when I need something, but I’ve gained the passion back.. the mystery of it all still is within me and just dying to be unleashed and shared.

In my right hand I held my magick candle and in my left hand, I drew in energy..how do you draw in energy? what does it mean? It means you focus.. recieving energy from Goddess, from the Moon, from the Earth.. You will feel vibrations in your hand… you will know when your recieving the energy, believe me. You will feel vibrations and when you do then you focus sending that energy into the magick candle that you are holding in your right hand. You focus for as long as you feel it necessary.. you feel it..you do it.. until you know youve sent that energy into the magic candle.

“They” say use a match to light your magick candle with, thats fine if you got one, if you don’t and have to do a lighter.. you can still do this. You hold the flame just above the wick and focus on the magic candle..now i didnt hold the flame like 5 inches above my wick, but only maybe a quarter inch above it..and allow the flame to dip down..draw down.. to the wick and let your magick candle be lit that way…its just a magickal thing when it happens.. all these little things.. instill within us.. belief.. you need that. you need to believe.. you MUST believe. you must have faith in everything you do.. in order for it, to work.

I found something that I could do, to help me along this whole..mindset we get ourselves into… I sat there, in front of my magick candle and i focused on the energy within me, the energy i was putting off through both of my hands. I held my right hand up to the magic candle flame and focused on trying to get the flame to lean towards that energy..and it worked with focus.. and then i would drop that hand and lift my left hand up and focus on moving the magick candle towards the energy in my left hand. and it worked then I took both hands and focused on raising the flame… stretching the flame upwards.. takes a lot of focus and be somewhere you wont be disturbed and you will see that magic candle move left to right and be able to increase the size of the flame :)

Candle magick..it’s one of my favorite things! Granted the photo is a water candle and represents endless possibilities and I think it looks cool.

What can you do, right now? You don’t have all these magickal herbs you read about.. you don’t have a magickal pillar in that certain color either. Simple substitutions my friend! You would use a white candle and if your dabbling for $ then you would simply go to the kitchen, get you some magickal cinnamin and go to town…well not literally, you would find a quiet place where you won’t be disturbed and focus on what you want and get that magick candle charged and ready.

Sit calmly. Relax your whole body from head to toe. Imagine your feet to be tree trunks and going down through the earth. Center. Focus on your need. Watch the magick candle as you say what you want over and over again in your mind. You may find yourself rocking back and forth.

Creating Sacred space can mean several things, the most important meaning however is what it means to you. You don’t have to spend hundreds of $’s creating a sacred space for you, but of course you can. It’s all up to you. One simple Sacred space I’ve created for myself consists of a beautiful ceramic Indian, 12 different stones, a small spell jar, a deck of tarot cards and a witchcraft book. Ive got those things sitting on the back corner of my desk.

What does this do for me personally? In the middle of working a shift through the day, I can get a sense of who I am, by just looking at my little Sacred Space I’ve created for myself. The Indian reminds me of my creative abilities. The cards reminds me of my love of divination and wishing to know the future, the stones represent peacefulness as well as great energy, depending on which I might pick up throughout the day. The book, well it reminds me I need to continue reading it.

Now of course there is a greater meaning to creating Sacred Space, because Sacred Space is also meant for spells, rituals etc. Spaces you can keep intact long after your spells been done. A place to go to, to perform such rituals and spells. Considering that I do my tarot readings at my desk, for the most part, Its good to have those things nearby, for me.

The next installment of The Small Things, will be a guide on creating your own Sacred Space, even if you don’t have space.

What has you down today? If you are one of the lucky ones, nothing! :)

Sometimes sadness seems to be overwhelming doesn’t it? No matter how much you try to interact with other’s ..you wind up feeling sad and blue when those “fun” times are over.

Instead of thinking constantly about the things that have you feeling sad and blue, why not try to think of the things that bring a smile to your face?

Do you know that if you focus on the things that bring you joy and happiness, you too, are soon feeling joyous and happy.

Have you ever thought about a friend you used to be close to, but have lost touch with? Sure you have! Have you ever done anything about that whole distance thing? Probably not. Why? Ask yourself why. Give yourself 10 good reasons why THIS person would NOT want to talk to you and give yourself 30 seconds to think of them..bet you can not come up with even 3 good reasons.

Are you afraid you are going to bring that other person down too? Don’t be, chances are you’re going to be too busy catching up on old times or making play-dates, that soon the miserable feeling you felt and that groaning sensation you had waiting for them to pick up the phone, will go away.

Too often people think that other people are feeling what you are feeling and are so intune with what you’re going through, that you don’t even give it a chance. Well here’s the kicker.. we aint all mind readers folks! Chances are YOU are the only one that knows how YOU are feeling, truly.. so give that other person a shot today…and pick up that damn phone!

The moon is going to be full at 2.10 am Sunday morning. Now, I’ve read alot of great books, which I will be sharing with you and giving you links you can buy them if you would like to. I used to think I had to have every possible herb,stone trinket, gadget on the market in order to make my magick work. Found out though all you need is the ability to believe in your actions.. and never think its not going to work thus killing any spells you cast.

So, with that in mind, here’s the goal and heres what i did. The only thing I used that actually cost money was a simple birthday candle. mine was blue and white, so what. Grabbed a knife and ran my knife down the swirly indents of the candle. There are 4 on mine, i used 3 of them…and with each indent i ran my knife down over the swirls slowly, careful to keep inside the groove and focused soley on my mission. Of course I thought of my mission first, my goal and i tweaked it into one of those “if its meant to be” kinda things. Then I raised my energy, charged it into my candle and i lit it and its almost burned down to nothing as i write this.

Try it, see what happens :) I’ll be sure to let you know when I see the results!
