A very powerful item when burned along with a black candle and salt. Use only to win court cases and to overcome legal entanglements. This spell comes from the hoodoo or conjure traditions.

My brother and I used this recipe with a homemade legal luck spell. I also burned protection incense and asked that Yemaya protect my nephew in all of this. Things turned out successfully. We wished no harm on anyone, just asked that the scales be tipped a little. I hope you find the help you need, its terrible what children in these situations go through.

I love candles, even not as the main focus of my magic. I use mostly candles and herbs. I prefer colors but not scented. Also I read tarot and am trying to grasp astrology. But it is currently escaping me! I don’t do much spellwork for others. Generally people I know, but am open do doing it for others. I don’t however live in the US. I am currently living in Spain.

Thank you Jen, one of my cohorts on another group, for posting this awesome candle spell and allowing me to post it here. Good luck and blessings in all of your candle endeavors!

When dress your candle with anointing and blessing oils, sachets and herbs, you magnify and consecrate your candle to your purpose intended. It cannot hurt if you can use all three ingredients, and is the desired method; however if you have only the oil, do not be discouraged.

After you have cleansed and carved out symbols or names (if need be) onto your candle, it is time to apply anointing and blessing oils, sachets and herbs to your candle. The use of these items will clarify and give strength to your intention and work. The quantity of items may be one or a combination of more than one item.

If you are planning to use more than one oil, sachet or herb, it is suggested that you wash your hands in between steps with Florida Water, a traditional citrusy-floral cologne used in spiritual work. You may also use rubbing alcohol, but make sure that your hands are completely dry before lighting a match or a lighter.

You may now place the second layer of oil on top of your first oil application. The only exception to that is if you are using various oils from a related family (i.e. oils from the money drawing family such as pay me, money stay with me, prosperity, money come to me, etc.) In this case, washing your hand in between is not necessary. It is important that you do not use any negative drawing (such as DUME or Revenge oils) with positive oils (such as money drawing or love drawing) as you may be creating a condition that may be hard to take care of once activated by the candle being burned.

How to Apply the Oil

Now that you have assembled your items and have written out your petition paper or desire, it is important to decide which hand movements to use when applying the oil to the candle before commencing the work. Below are three different traditional techniques with each method and purpose described in detail.

NOTE: It is important to the success of your candle burning work to apply the oil correctly or else you will have mixed results ore a candle that will not perform for you in either a positive or negative manner.

The UP Technique of Release, Reverse and Banish Energies

The anointing of a candle to release you or others from a condition or situation requires you to anoint the candle from the base to the top with the appropriate oil to banish, send away, release and reverse that particular energy back into the Universe and/or to the point of origin or the sender.

Holding the candle in your oiled hands, you will slide your hand in one direction from base of candle to the tip of the wick. You will NOT slide your hand back down the candle to the base, but release candle at tip and then re-grasp candle at the base and repeat the motion, stating your intentions each time you slide your hand from base to tip.

Once you are done, place this candle in a holder or on a plate or saucer with your petition paper under it or your photograph near it and begin to pray for blessings on your candle. Light candle and meditate on the outcome that you desire.

It is preferable to keep this petition candle burning until its’ end; however if you cannot keep it burning for various reasons, do not blow the candle out. Wet you fingertips with spit and “pinch” out the flame to extinguish it. To blow out the candle means that you are finished with its’ work and you do not want to use the candle again.

Occasionally, I receive a note or e-mail in regards of burning a candle for money drawing or prosperity, giving me details on the successes and sometimes non deliverance of any financial gains as a result of said candle burn.

I think it is important to not rely on one candle being burned to change your financial outlook; it has to be a complete lifestyle change. While the candle will break open those streams of income coming it, it might not be with just one candle, but a series of candles. While I burn candles here on my altars for clients, it is their altars that produce the long-lasting results because they are taking the time to nurute and tend to them. Think of your financial success and prosperity as a lover – would you want to produce loving feelings to someone who neglects you or maybe downright uses you for their personal gain? Of course not, and the energies that you produce when burning your candles and working your money altars is the very close to what I just addressed.

Also, are you helping your financial and prosperity success by “spreading the love” with tithes, donations and contributions to charities and spiritual institutions that are near and dear to your heart? This lesson was the hardest one for me to learn as I like to see those numbers in the bank just as you do. But by donating a small amount of your gain blesses those around you with a residual effect of your good fortune, thereby activating a chain reaction if you will, of energies that circulates within the community, making sure all are prosperous.

Let me give you an example, like I have said before in other posts, one way I “jump start” my business again when it seems I have a few slow days, is to make a donation to a particular church that I enjoy receiving their mailings. I have other local charities as sell, such as the mission that feeds the homeless and also for breast cancer, disabled veterans and a Native American educational organization. I make out the check, usually no more than $20.00, and I pray over it, thanking the Universe for blessing me with the amount, then praying that the money I send blesses others. A few hours after I drop the envelopes into the mail, my telephone starts ringing and I get busy. I am not saying that you should send your complete paycheck, but take a token amount – five or ten dollars – the amount of a 2 value meals a week at your local burger place – and send it to someone who helps out society.

For instance, the prayer that I pray over the check I send to the soup kitchen mission goes something like this, “Thank you for blessing me with this money so that I can feed my family and keep them warm; so much so that my cupboards are full. May everyone have full cupboards and if only each and every person in my town would send in just five or ten dollars, there would be no more hunger in our community.” I always have enough to eat and I am igniting hope that others in this city would hear my prayer – somewhere.

Another idea is to incorporate the philosophy of Feng Shui by cleaning out your closets, garage, cabinets and desks. The theory is that when you get rid of items that are broken, too old, too worn out (like clothing), unused, not necessary and unwanted to charities or to the dump. The ideas here is that the “void” of that space that was taken up by the clutter will activate movement to bring new items into your space – things are can be used. Deep cleaning is also a mood elevator – once finished – as I would think that the actual cleaning would not be a fun time – and once you are done, you can shower, relax with a cool drink and fell good about your accomplishments.

A good rule of thought is to think that prosperity for you is prosperity for all. You never know when your neighbor may need something you sell or a service you provide. Congratulate them on their good fortune and do not cast an jealous eye or have an envious thought towards them. Bless them that they live long and prosperous, because by their hard work, they have gained and you can also gain by their example. Work hard, spend thoughtfully and give to the less fortunate – along with doing your green candle burnings for constant streams of money and prosperity – and you will always be blessed.
