this starts with you (the reader of this spell). light your small candle and give you gift to the rest of the group. say a few words about it, what it & your friends mean to you, why you want to become closer.
going deosil OR widdershins (I don't think it matters), each person in turn does the same - lights candle, gives gift, does talking.
when everyone has done their bit, you all light the big candle with your small candles, all together, and let the molten wax from the small candles drip and intermingle onto the big candle.
if the small candles are still burning, let them burn out. wait till only the big candle is alight, then if you feel ready, snuff it out. you can relight this big candle at another time to do this spell again (with a different set of small candles) in order to further strengthen the friendship, or just keep it as a reminder.
put the fresh things in first then sprinkle the powder on the fresh herbs, tie off with same color string or cord as the cloth. either take the charm bag with you or wear it for at least three days before your finals. you could also take an extra step and dabb some lotus or cypress oil on the bag.. stronger.
Anoint 2 yellow candles with lemon oil and light them. Take a yellow stone and anoint it with lemon oil and place in front of the candles so that the candlelight shine on it, and say,
Let the candles burn and charge the stone while you study. Keep the stone with you when you need to give oral reports, take exams, or study.
