Time to consider banishing all that negativity and sorrow that you endured and struggled with in 2008 with my annual Banishing Ritual and Candle Burning on December 31, 2008 and bring in the New Year with a clean slate and hope for a better 2009!

What is It?

I created a ritual for New Year’s Eve night to send off in a fiery pyre all the negative things, people and thoughts that plagued my clients throughout the year. I invite you to join us for this ritual.

Releasing of old negative thoughts, hurts, jealousies, anger and problems that have plagued your thoughts and home life is purging and mood elevating, and can break free things that have been keeping you down and unable to progress forward.

How Can I Participate?

There are two ways you can participate. First, you can purchase a tea light vigil candle for $1.25 each and submit your petition for that candle. Quantity is unlimited and if you live with others, it might be a grand release of negativity for everyone in the home to have a candle and petition paper burnt for them (see photo below). The petitions will go into the “coffin” along with the black poppets, mixed with frankincense, myrrh, white sage and lavender, to become a burnt offering to the Heavens (see more photos at link below)

The second way to participate is to purchase a black “doll baby” or “poppet” and name it for someone who is giving you the Devil or you would just want them to Go Away and Stay Away. These voodoo dolls are then “named” and stuffed with Spanish Moss and a few other herbs and ingredients to be effective in getting this person out of your life. These black dolls can be your for $20.00 each. Once you have ordered your poppet, you will then be asked to give a small description of the intended person and what you would like them to receive in exchange for doing damage they have done to you.

I had an interesting telephone call from a person mentioned in a page on the Free-Candle-Spells site (of which their name has been removed as requested), and it brought to me the realization that perhaps not all who visit here understands exactly why this site exists.  Let me share some thoughts with you.

This site is intended to share the candle burning beliefs of many from around the world. Candles were burned for many reasons, some of them identical, but all around the world and in many cultures.  The presence of flame in even the simplest moments, such as a birthday party, gives significance to the occasion.  What are birthday candles but wishes attached to a flame, that are blown out when the time is right?

Uneducated is the person who reacts out of fear that there are evil intentions here - there are plenty of belief systems that wish ill will to those who have hurt them – and just because they want to create havoc!  For example, I have even used a few choice words when I was plowed into by two illegals with no license and registration!  Now tell me, wouldn’t YOU?  Was not those choice words symbolic of a release of energy and could be taken as a “curse”?  Think about it.

Candle burning has gone back since the beginning of mankind – the mystery of a flame has been a source of study and veneration for lifetimes.  If it wasn’t for flame, civilization might not have survived.  So, because its’ orogins is veiled in mystery, of course it could be attached to any serious event.  The Bible and many other books written on the spiritual realm all talk about using “sacred flame” or “burnt offerings” in their texts.

If, dear reader, you read something contained within this site, realize that I do not censor the intentions of the offerings – you are a well educated and knowledgable person who is not influenced by what you read.  It is your free will choice to participate and read these posts. Use a logical mind and understand that while you may not use a particular candle spell – there may be others who need that exact one.  More importantly, examine your own belief system that might be the root of the consternation you feel when you make judgment calls in regards to others’ freedom to choose.

Maybe the biggest fear to fear is the fear in itself.

Last week, I had a third call in as many weeks from a person who was having problems with her surrounding neighbors. It was regarding her 10 acres and the keeping of 19 dogs on the property. She told me that at one time when the property was available for purchase, her neighbors were outbid by this persons’ parents. She indicated that she felt that the frequent referrals to the animal control services were in retaliation of the deceased parents ability to possess the property than them.

Once I had invested another 30 minutes in giving her ethical spiritual counseling with tips and techniques with success with a black candle burn for her neighbors, this person tells me that she does not have a functional toilet in which to dispose of the black candle. She tells me that when she needs to use the toilet, she goes to he local gas station.

Whaaaattttt?

Right there, that tells me that this person does not have their priorities in check. Having 19 dogs, well I can justify that she does own 10 acres and that would seem big enough for them to roam, despite the amount that she puts out every month for care and food for the animals. To not have a functioning bathroom in which you can eliminate waste gives me the impression that her life is “going to the dogs”. I asked her why would she spend money to call me to ask for candle work and supplies when she should be taking care of her home. She responded that she “knows but she has to get the four dilapidated vehicles off her property before the end of the month.” Even more evidence of not only a negative magnet for more problems and her money is going down. If you are even a dabbler in Feng Shui, you know that clutter and broken things like appliances and old clothing, boxes and such give energy to negativity and thus needs to be removed either by donating the items that can be repaired to a charity, having things taken to the dump, and a big recycling effort to get rid of any old newspapers, boxes and stuff that sits and collects dust.

I told her that once she has done that, give the whole house a good cleaning and the void produced by getting rid of old things, along with a good housecleaning, should give her a brighter outlook on life, get her priorities in line and maybe get the neighbors off her back.

I told her then and only then would I consider doing candle work for her. Why burn candles for prosperity if you can’t take care of yourself? You are asking the Universe to give you money so that you could quite possibility “throw it to the dogs” some more. Basic human living conditions are far more important in my world than pets, regardless of the loving devotion they give you. It is unfortunate that in this same week, we have a story in our area about someone who had a house overran with cats. I am a cat person myself, but with my busy schedule and traveling, I couldn’t give enough time to my pet to make his life a quality one with my schedule. This is why I choose with consciousness, not to own a pet.
