Anoint the candle with oil and focus on desire (purpose of ritual.) a. For ritual of achievement: anoint oil from the top of the candle to the middle in a downward motion, then from the bottom of the candle to the middle in an upward motion. b. For ritual of banishment: anoint oil from the middle of the candle to the top in an upward motion, then middle to bottom of the candle in a downward motion. 6. Bless and consecrate the candle. 7.

Some people do not use matches to light candles, the sulfur is considered unclean. If you feel this way, use an incense starter or stick to light your candles. To extinguish a candle, snuff it out or wave your hand over it hard enough to make a breeze to put it out. Do not blow or pinch it out. Blowing a candle out blows desires away, and pinching a flame pinches out desires. |
