Depending on your goal, you will need to choose a candle colour that is appropriate for your task.
Different colours represent different things, for example, if you want to use this spell to gain money, you choose a green candle, because green represents money (as well as other things). If you wanted love, you would use a pink candle (or red if it's actually lust you want). Take the candle and make 7 notches in it, all equally apart. Using virgin olive oil, dress the candle, rubbing the oil on it from the middle to the bottom, then the middle to the top. Place the candle in a sturdy candle holder (preferably metal, glass may shatter) and light the candle. Concentrate on your task while the candle burns down to the first notch.
Burn the candle each night to the next notch until it has completely burned out. Look at any god correspondence chart on a wiccan website to see which color you want for the different types of spells you could adapt the above basic one to. You can also write out what you want in rhyme and burn it after saying it like an incantation. 3x3 times works well. Keep any ashes and wax and make into a ball as a Talisman or keep in a spell box in case you wish to reverse the spell.
