Bernadette’s questions sparks more questions about placing candles in a triangle…

Hi Jacqueline,

I have a question about the advice you gave to Bernadette in the work she was going to land a Nursing Assistant’s position. I was wondering about this part:

“place the anointed Road Opener Candle at the “12 o’clock”
position, the anointed Boss Fix Candle in the “four o’clock” position
and the anointed Crown of Success Candle in the “eight o’clock”
position”

I’ve heard of other rootworkers using the triangular shape in spells, but do you know why it is a significant figure? Also, why does each candle get placed at that particular point ie: Road Opener at the 12 o’clock position, etc?

Thank you for your help.
Denise

The post that Denise is referring to is regarding Bernadette, who wants to obtain a position in nursing by the 30th of this month. I gave her a specially designed candle spell that she could use. Denise pondered my reasons and asked about my choices in the candle placement. Go pack a couple of pages and you will find Bernadette’s letter.

I chose to place the “Road Opener” Candle at the 12 o’clock position because the first thing that you want to do is break open any possible roadblocks that Bernadette might have. When looking at this candle configuration, imagine a clock face over it. Twelve o’clock is at the top and is the time when the day change – Sunday changes into Monday, Monday to Tuesday, etc. It is considered in some beliefs when Spirits are out. It is also a “new beginning”, like 12:01 am, a “new day”, and the earliest point on the clock where the “new day” is located.

The Boss Fix Candle is at 4 o’clock, as this would be the farthest right hand corner of a triangle if you were to imagine a triangle laying over a clock face in front of you. I also chose that she address the “Boss”, literal or figuratively, convincing “him” that she is the right person for the job.

The Crown of Success candle at the eight o’clock position, or the farthest left hand point of the triangle on a clock face (imagined), is the success that she will achieve AFTER convincing the “Boss” that she is the one right for the job. IN addition, some like to use the “UP” motion of the clock’s hands, meaning from 6:30 to 12:00 for “bringing” or “receiving”. This is why in some spells it tells you to light your candles ONLY DURING the upward movement of the clock’s hands -6:30 am to 12:00 noon OR 6:30 pm to 12:00 midnight.

Three is also a magic number in candle spells, along with 7, 13 and 21. Three symbolizes the Holy Trinity – Father, Son, Holy Ghost. It is a number associated with Ellegua, Elegua, Legba and Exu/Esu – all avatars or gods in the Caribbean/South American indigenous religions.

Seven is the number most associated with the Virgin Mary - in all of her avatars. It also is the number of the days in a week and the major oceans of the Earth.

Twelve is associated with the number the days are long, and of how many hours of night that we have. There are twelve Apostles and twelve months.

Twenty one is associated with Ellegua, Elegua, Legba, Exu/Esu as the number of paths or “caminos” that he “owns”.

Thank you for some good questions Denise, I hope this answered them for you.

This person submitted these photos on another group I belong to and since the photos were so fantastic, I asked them to describe to me what was the purpose of the honey jar and I gave her my feelings on observing the photos. This is NOT your normal honey jar spell candle burn! Read on…

Copied straight from my e-mail:

My honey jar is for an affair.
My marriage is falling apart and will be ending in the next couple of months.
In the mean time, my husband and I have no contact. Sex is mechanical and mostly because we “should be doing it” then anything else.

So I decided to attract a married man because he is safe and wont try to break up my marriage and wont want to spend tons of time with me either.

In the honey jar is the paper with our names on it written like usual
2 hairs his and mine
2 rose petals
and some of our “personal concerns” collected after sex.
And of course.. honey.  (bold font moderator’s choice)

I use this jar as a bit of a manipulation tool as well. To keep ME safe, I spend about 30 minutes each M/W/F morning and send some energy to keep him only ‘straying with me’ if that makes sense? I dont want him to be sleeping with a bunch of people and if he is willing to cheat on his wife, then he may be willing to cheat ” on me” . And i cant have that. STDs are scary and I have to be a healthy parent.
I send some love energy as well so that this stays the connection it is and doesnt end nasty like a highschool ‘its just sex’ session either.

I put some of that energy into that big candle and it went up quickly.

I use tapers and burn them for HOURS instead of small 1 or 2 hour candles. I also keep the honey jar on my alter. A constant place of power.

I found out first that he had an attraction to me instead of just pulling some one out of thin air as well. So this jar is just basically keeping the attraction strong ( maybe too strong) and renewing our attraction every couple of days.  I do add a little bit of love energy mostly to just keep the attraction healthy and safe. If there is a bit of emotional desire behind it, Im thinking it may keep him from straying farther… I recognize that is a bit of manipulation, but it is only to keep things safe.. so hopefully that wont bite me in the behind some day, but if it does… oh well. I knew the consequences when I set up the jar.

Lets see.. homely happy things about me..

I have been practicing energy work for 15 years. Have two familiars, one child. I live in Texas.
um
um
sheesh aint much “happy bunny foo foo ” about me..
HAHAHHA

Top of Honey Jar. Notice that this jar is in a protective container, on top of the fireplace hearth and it is surrounded by other candles; white for blessing, blue for peace, yellow for success or health, green for money and red for passion.

Flames are out! Notice that a clasp style jelly jar was used for the honey jar.

How do I get this Nursing Assistant job close on the 30th of the month?

Bernadette, I would IMMEDIATELY copy any and all letters, business cards or any correspondance from them, including something that might say, “thank you for your recent application…”. I would set up an altar to include a white St. Jude Candle, a yellow Crown of Success Candle, an orange Road Opener Candle and a red Boss Fix Candle, using the same blessing or condition oils with the same name.

I would set up an altar either in the far left hand corner of your home or the far left hand corner of your bedroom. This is boosting the candle power by applying feng shui techniques, not a traditional practice but really, whatever works here, right? This is the area where when you stand in the doorway of the home or bedroom and LOOKING IN through the door, the farthest LEFT CORNER of the room, or home (this could be various named rooms, depending on your living arrangements).

First, always clean the candles with lemon juice (see prior blog posts in the catagory, Proper Candle Preparation on the right hand column on this page).

I would place a white tablecloth on a dresser or end table, place the letters, application or business card copies in the center, place the anointed Road Opener Candle at the “12 o’clock” position, the anointed Boss Fix Candle in the “four o’clock” position and the anointed Crown of Success Candle in the “eight o’clock” position. I would then place the white (for business and legal) St. Jude Candle without any oil, in the center of this triangular formation. All of the candle must be completely on the papers or a portion of the business card.

Light the candles in this order: First, the white St. Jude, saying a prayer to him to grant you what you desire and assist the other candles in their purposeful outcome. Then, light the Road Opener Candle and speak what you want this candle to do. Third, light the Boss Fix Candle and intone what you want that candle to do for you. Lastly, light the Crown of Success Candle and again confirming your success in obtaining this job.

More importantly, convince yourself that you ARE the best choice for the job, hands down. Part of successful candle burning to obtain things desired in the ABSOLUTE, UNSHAKING BELIEF IN THE SUCCESS IN THE CANDLE SPELL.

Most people who light candles for favors unknowingly say in their prayers things like, “if only you hear my plea”, “I hope that…”, “I wish that…”, or “If you see that it is your Will..”. No. This is begging, pleading and leaving the power of success in the hands of someone else. You absolutely MUST light your candles with CONFIDENCE that you ARE the BEST PERSON for the Job.

Speak to the candles like a good friend every morning before going about your day and at the end of your day before bed. Say something like, “Thank you Saint Jude, that while I am going about my day, you are drawing me closer to this job that is perfect for me. Thank you.”  At night, say, “Thank you, St. Jude, that while I sleep you are convincing the powers that be choose me for this position. Thank you.” Do this over and over, using more candles if need be, until your results have been obtained.

Now, in addition, continue to seek out other job offers because you might be right for the job, but the job might NOT be right for you. Think about that one for a minute. The Saints and Angels like it when you are putting your best foot forward all day, everyday.

Good Luck and let us know how it worked for you.

P. S. If you have one more interview, make sure you place one drop of each oil in your hand and rub them together BEFORE shaking the bosses’ or human resources hand. A little drop will do ya’!
