Readers Questions | Petitioning Multiple Saints During Candle Burning Spell

Hi Jacqueline!
I love your site and I’m learning a lot from it. I have a question regarding Saints, can you assign more than one job to a saint at the same time? Or is it better to do it one at a time.
Thanks!
Chris

The petitions of the Saints, Guardian Angels and associated Heavenly Beings is one that has been in existence since the early beginnings of the Church. Even though there are certain Saints and Holy Ones associated with professions and times of need, you may set up an altar to any and all Heavenly Deities that you feel comfortable with petitioning for your own specific need. They like the attention you give them with vases of flowers, candles and some go so far as to place sweets, tobacco, water, rum or whiskey and other items considered to attract the Saints. Here is a shot of my All Saints Altar with petition candles being burned for clients:
On my altar, I have St. Expedite, Our Lady of Fatima, Infant of Prague, Our Lady of Grace (sometimes known as ‘La Milegrosa’), St. Martn de Porres, La Caridad de Cobre (‘Our Lady of Charity’), Archangel Uriel, a second small St. expedite (in a different pose), a framed portrait of St. Anne and a statue of Marie LaVeau (as it was told to me).
