Successful Candle Magic

 I am constantly asked about candle magic.  The biggest thing I am asked is typically about how the candle melted or lack of melting.

Most recently a client, did a jar spell and indicated that "The candle didn't melt well, it wasn't nearly as drippy ".  This particular client then left their cast circle to search for a candle to make the candle "drippy" and "melt well". Will this spell work for this client?  No.  This is because they had high expectations for the way they wanted the candle wax to "look" and to "melt". They wanted the candle wax to be "drippy".  

I have had clients play with their wax because the candle was melting asymmetrically and they wanted it to melt symmetrically. There are also the spells that the candle melted too fast or two slow.

In one situation, the client sent me a picture but had chipped away at the "unwanted" wax melts. They said that the spell didn't work in addition they wanted to know if I could read the wax from the candle. When you "play" or "chip away" at the wax, you can't read the wax as a divination tool because you altered the outcome.

How to have a successful Candle Magic Spell:

1. Don't hold expectations for the how the wax is going to melt. The candle is going to work how it is supposed to work.  If you want it to melt "drippy", "Symmetrical", and look like someone else's spell you have already set your spell up for failure. You are more concerned with the aesthetics  of the spell than the actual outcome and manifesting your intention.

2. Don't "play" or "chip away" at the wax.  When you cast your candle magic you can also use the resulting melted wax as a divination tool.  In addition, if you play with the wax or change how the candle is melting or trying to make it aesthetically pleasing you just destroyed your spell.  The spell, the time you put into the spell was all for naught.

3. In any spell casting, not just candle magic, hold your intention.  Be positive. Don't worry about how beautiful your spell looks. Hold positivity about the outcome. See the intention manifesting and coming to life.

4. If your candle burns clean your spell was immediately successful. If your candle is “drippy” read the wax as divination.

If you want to play with candle wax or explore the physics of how candles melt than light candles for fun and play with the wax. When you interfere with candle magic you will ruin your spell and the spell intention will not manifest.  You will have to recast your spell.
