An absent coven member can be represented by a candle representing their sun sign, or, if you are doing a spell for someone you can represent that person with a candle representing their sun sign.

 

 

 

 

~ Chose a plain candle, of uniform shape.  Having unusual or large candles can be distracting and are therefore not suitable for magickal use.

 

~ Candles used for magick should always be un - used at the start of a ritual.

 

~ It is a good idea to make your own candles for magickal use, as it will increase the magickal potency of the candle.

 

~ Charge your candle before using it in a ritual.  This can be done by annointing it with oils associated with the ritual or magick you intend on performing, or by simply touching it and charging it with your own energy.

 

~ Whilst charging the candel, visualize the North and South poles - rub the oil into the candle starting at either the North or the South end, and always brush in the same direction.

 

~ The oils used in annointing your candles should, where possible, always be natural fragrances.

 

~ Try to colour the candles according to the colour associations.

 

 

 

 

Heat the wax until liquid, and pour it into a a mould which is threaded with a wick.  the wax should now be left to cool, after which the mould can be removed.  Oils and colours can be added to the wax for extra effects.
