Candle Magick

Candle magick is easy and effective. Choose a candle in a colour that corresponds to your wish. With a sharp knife carve your full name and wish into the candle. At the same time each night light the candle and for ten minutes gaze into the flame meditating on your wish. Do this for seven days. After ten minutes say "As I will it, so shall it be" then snuff the flame with your fingertips. Wrap the candle in white cloth and put it away somewhere safe. On the seventh night wrap the candle and put it away until your wish comes true, then bury it in the garden or in the earth where it won't be distrubed.
