Readers Questions - Regarding Burning Too Many Candles

Hi All! It has been a quick summer and I have a bounty of spells to post here - I’d better get crackin’! But first, a question from a reader:

Dear Jacqueline,

Let me tell you first that I LOVE your site! You have such interesting spells - even the baaad ones! I have a question.

I am burning candles left and right because my boyfriend and I had a disagreement awhile back and even though he calls me and comes by, it’s just not the same as it was before so I had been burning pink candles of Saint Juse like you said and I had ordered some Fire of Love Oil from another website. I think I am doing everything right - the cleaning with lemon juice, the paper under the candle, the oil on the candle - but…no sparks. Do you think I am doing too much or not enough? What else should I do? I am so sorry that I said the hurtful things I said; but he said some ugly things, too. I just want things to be back like they were before the fight. What else can I do?

Debra - Florida

Debra, I am so sorry that this happened and I am wondering why the candles are doing their stuff. The only thing is that maybe we have to “tweak” the combination. Let’s go over the steps again.

First, make sure that you are using the right candle. You say you are using the pink St. Jude candle (St. Jude being the Patron Saint of Impossible Causes) and the color pink is correct as you want romantic love - not the wham, bam, thank you, ma’am sexual power of red candles.

Properly clean your candle with lemon juice to “cut and clear” all negativity and residuals that someone might have on their hands while making, packing and storing/shelving the candles before they come into your possession.

State your intention clearly, I mean clearly as evasive or vague statements can nullify your candle burning success. Comments like, ‘Well, if he don’t come back by such-and-such day, then he better leave me alone’ confuses even me much less the angels who are working on your behalf.

You might want to incorporate using the power of the moon to work candle magic. This might be a favorable thing for you to do. Begin love drawing candle magic on the day after a New Moon, or when you see a sliver of the moon and each night it is getting bigger - this is the time for bringing or drawing in good things - love, prosperity and success. The time from the Full Moon (when the moon is a complete circle in the sky) until the dark of the moon (when the sky is dark) is the time for sending or banishing away things - a bad boyfriend, an ugly job or bills, bills, bills! You can go even further and research which day of the week and which time of that day is good for love drawing. There are many books that go deeply into that aspect.

It might behoove you to contact and get a reading from a professional psychic, root worker or tarot reader to find out if you have missed your chance or is this just a phase you two are going through. The various divination tools can give insight and clarity to somethingthat might be right before your eyes!

In the meantime, develop interests outside of the relationship until you get a clear sign of which way you are to go. This doesn’t mean another man, but getting together with your girlfriends and doing things with the family. taking a class or developing a hobby is another thing to do to keep your mind busy while trying to make a decision on your future.

Lastly, if you really love him and there is a glimmer of hope - pray every night until you fall asleep that all the Saints, the Archangels and the Spiritual Deities band together to make him see what a true jewel you are - precious and rare - and what a loss for such a little fight. Burn your candles if they give you solace until your answer is clear.

I hope this helps, dear. Keep us posted.

Love Apple Red Candle Bring ‘Em Back Spell

July 19, 2008 | By admin In Love Candle Spells, Various Candle Spells | Comments(0)

This variation of a love apple was something that I recently did for a client. Now she is waiting for the John Meyer concert to see if it does its’ thing.

INGREDIENTS:

1 Red or Reddish tone Apple (in this case, she used a ‘Pink Lady’ – name appropriate for the relationship)

Lodestone

Magnetic Sand

Love Me Oil (although I used a combination of Influence Oil, Lavender Love Drops Oil, Return to Me Oil and Follow Me Girl Oil to personalize the spell

White Paper

Red Ink Pen

Full Name and of both parties

Red crochet string

Pink Taper Candle

I had the client write her full name on the piece of paper. I then had her rotate the paper 90 degrees and write the lovers’ full name over her name, thus forming a cross. She then was to write IN ONE CONTINUOUS STROKE AND WITHOUT LIFTING THE PEN the qualities she is expecting this lover to bring to and exhibit in the relationship. She chose the words, loving, equality, passion, sharing, warm, exciting, adventure , etc. This took her twice to do this as she inadvertently lifted the pen, thus breaking the spell. She had to start over again.

I then placed the lodestone in the center of the paper with some of the magnetic sand, wrapped the paper around it and began to wind the red crochet string around the packet, all the while anointing the string drop by drop with the various oils I chose for the occasion.

Once the “ball” was finished, I then cut a portion of the top of the apple out, near the stem, retaining the stem/lid and coring out some of the apple seed section large enough to place the ball of string with the ingredients in it in the apple. I then dropped a few more drops of each of the oil, for good measure, closed the apple up, burned a bit of the pink candle so that the wax dips would “seal” the edges of the candle.

We then chose a corner of the front flower bed where the concrete formed a corner to bury the apple. As I looked at the view, the words of the song, “Long and Winding Road” by Paul McCartney came to mind! It truly was the walk leading up to the steps to her door! She buried it and I told her to get a red glass 7 day encased candle and doubly protect it by placing it in a terra cotta pot or glass hurricane jar to protect it from tipping over and starting a fire.

The concert is late July, so we’ll see what happens…..

Candle Success | Lighting Candles with Confidence for Success - Part 2

July 10, 2008 | By admin In Beginners Candle Spells, Chase Away or Go Away Spells, Love Candle Spells, Various Candle Spells | Comments(0)

Read the blog post Candle Success | Lighting Candles with Confidence for Success - Part 1 to find out what happened first …..

The young woman left my home and proceeded to go purchase the candles. I received a telephone call the next morning at 7:30 am. It was the young lady and she was trembling as we spoke. This is what happened to her after leaving me.

She went to the candle shop to buy the white and black candles as I had supplied her with the oils, but not the candles. She went home and started to proceed with the ritual but forgot to buy lemon juice. She told me that she decided she would call me the next day after she bought some lemon juice and have me reiterate the spell over the phone. She left the candles on her bedroom dresser.

She told me she received a call in the middle of the night from her boyfriend. He had been drinking with his buddies, drove off on his motorcycle (all predicted in my tarot card reading; specifically I told her he was to either get into a crash or a DUI arrest sometime before the upcoming holiday - just two days away from the day of her visit). He had some minor scrapes and bumps and could not go to the hospital. He was crying and telling her that realized that he was a fool for treating her in such a manner as he sat stunned on the side of the road. He was remorseful of his actions regarding her.

She told me that she he is now behaving as he should with her and he has told her he only wants to be with her. The power of candle magic worked even when a flame wasn’t put to the wick. Intention can be such a powerful force that if harnessed in the right way, as in this young womans case, the affairs of the heart and the possibility of “getting burned” again, she radiated such energy that the change began as soon as she bought her candles - despite forgetting the lemon juice!
