Quick Guide to Candle Carving

The following is a brief summary of the steps to preparing a magical candle. 
This page is handy when you need a reference.
1. ASSESS YOUR PURPOSE, keeping in mind what is best for everyone involved.  

2. PURIFY AND PREPARE yourself for the focus and spiritual work ahead.

3. CHOSE THE CANDLE, SEALS from Candle Therapy® or some other candle book, oils, and incense suitable for your purpose.

4. DO DIVINATION about the results of the choices you have made for your magic.

5. TASTE THE HONEY on the finger which corresponds to the planetary influence you would like to include.  This is an important symbolic offering. See Dr. Riggs-Bergesen's book Candle Therapy® for more information on finger choices and planetary influences.

6.  PREPARE & BLESS THE CANDLE JAR 

7. CARVE THE SEAL(s), name(s), and astrological sign(s) in the wax.

8. APPLY OIL, which enhances the purpose of your request, on the candle.  

9. (Optionally) APPLY GLITTER OR POWDERED INCENSE to the candle's surface.

10. POUR HONEY INTO THE CANDLE JAR.  You can pour it in a clockwise circle or in the form of an invoking pentagram.

MAKE WISHES WITH COPPER COINS.  Drop a few pennies into the bottom of the jar and make a wish with each one.  Three  is good for integrating and relationships, Five is good for bringing blessings, six is good for harmony, and nine is good for completion.

(Optionally) LIGHT INCENSE and drop it into the bottom of the jar.
