A Reader asks:

I am trying to do the bring him to closer to me spell as well as the candle spell; and I can not find the oils in enough times, I have olive oil and I read that I can pray over the olive oil. Is this okay…It will be the end of the week before I have the funds to see this entire project through, in that at this time I am interviewing someone to work with me.

Thank you

You may use olive oil in a ‘pinch’ to anoint your oil; after all, not only is it one of the ‘Holy Oils’ mentioned in the Bible but also consider the oil lamps that were used constantly in the Temple and also for burnt offerings. The Olive tree is abundant throughout the Middle East and revered in all the religions that originated from that geographical area.

Another idea is to get a couple of bottles of Olive oil and place some spices and herbs in each to steep, these being a base for what ever candle burning spells you want to create. Use Cinnamon for ‘Fast Luck’ and ‘Love’ conditions, allspice and mint for ‘Money’ type candles.

Readers, this is the continuation of an e-mail with questions from a reader that I felt were good to answer in blog posts. You may find a friend or even yourself experiencing some of the same things as our reader who writes:

Reader: I was reading the instructions that were enclosed with the oil and powder sachets. It said that IF a candle went out do not re-light it due to negative forces.

Jacqueline:>>>>>Yes. Throw candle away and start over. You either didn’t do it right or the thing that you are trying to change is too big and strong and you have to ‘tweak’ your spell.

Reader: Should I throw it away (my present plan)?

Jacqueline: >>>>Start over.

Readers, it is important to focus and prepare your candles right in accordance to traditional cleansing and blessing/anointing methods either taught by your spiritual group or by doing research here at Free-Candle-Spells. There is a category to the right called Proper Candle Preparation, that can answer most of your basic questions.

If your candle goes out, toss it out. It is either of poor quality because of hasty, cheap labor manufacturing or you can consider the candle to not have been properly prepared for the situation. With regards to cheap labor, the wick is held down by an aluminum ‘button’ that weighs the wick to the bottom of the glass. However, this does not insure you against wicks with too much ‘play’ in them that they wiggle left or right of center when candle is cooling during the pour. Once a wick has too much ‘play’, it has the tendency to ‘float’ all over the inside of the glass, and even potentially dipping over onto itself and extinguishing the flame.

Now for the metaphysical or spiritual answer; you did not prepare the candle properly before lighting and/or the ‘entity’ or ‘problem’ you are burning your candle for is larger than you first realized. Begin again with a fresh candle and maybe even bolster or ‘prop it up’ with a white candle in glass next to it, to bring angelic light and purity to the candle spell.

Thank you for the great questions as it has spurred on some more questions that will be posted in the next week!

A reader is inquiring about her pink candle that went out on her money drawing altar. We pick up the e-mail conversation from here…

Reader: Well, I had originally placed a pink candle (for love) where the red candle is now. It went out…I could not get it to light again. Hhhmm..could this be due to my current situation with my marriage?

Jacqueline: >>>>>Could be…but why burn the pink candle on the money altar?

Reader: I just assumed it was a bad wick?

Jacqueline: >>>>>Maybe.

Reader: So, I put it aside and replaced it with the red candle.

Jacqueline: >>>>>Red is energy so in love matters, it means ‘wham bam thank you ma’am’ type of sexual thing. Pink is romance. In money matters, (or luck) red means fast acting.

I think the most important item to remember here is to think and do research about your candle spell before you begin. I interpret the pink candle going out as a sign that it is not to be on the Money Altar…and just maybe money (or the source or lack thereof) might be a problem IN the marriage.

Readers, please remember that you can actually EXACERBATE or create MORE PROBLEMS by using the ‘wrong’ colored candle. Remember that a long time ago, there were no ‘colored’ candles – all were made of a buttery-cream color that comes with sheep and mutton tallow. Tinting the paraffin (which was later used) is an idea that has come about in the last 50 to 70 years, give or take.

Please take the time to read through the Candle Colors Directory category located on the right of this page.

Now, let’s get this money drawing candle spell done right!
