Before using any candle (hand-made or store-bought) in a magickal ceremony or in the simplest of spells, it is recommended that you first dress (anoint) the candle with a small amount of oil during the waxing phase of the moon to consecrate it and charge it with magickal energy.

Candle Blessing Ritual

Using your bare hands, rub an anointing oil into the wax starting at the middle of the candle and working your way up to the top as you say:

I CONSECRATE THEE

AS A TOOL OF MAGICK.

BLESSED BE!

Start again at the middle and this time work your way down to the bottom of the candle and say:

I CHARGE THEE WITH POWER

IN THE NAME OF THE GODDESS.

SO MOTE IT BE!

GODDESS OIL

½ teaspoon dried yarrow

½ teaspoon dried sweet basil

1 teaspoon powdered myrrh

3 drops rose oil

3 drops lavender oil

½ cup olive oil

Place all ingredients in a clear glass jar and gently swirl in a clockwise direction to slowly agitate the oils. (As you do this, fill your mind with images of the Goddess and visualize Her divine power as an aura of white glowing light radiating from your hands into the jar of oil, charging it with magickal energy.)

Seal the jar with a tight-fitting lid and store it in a cool, dark place for at least seven days. Strain the oil through a cheesecloth and use it to anoint candles for love spells, Goddess invocations, divinations, healing rituals and all positive (white) forms of magick.

GOOD LUCK OIL

1 tablespoon dried wormwood

3 teaspoons ground nutmeg

½ teaspoon powdered mandrake root

13 drops pine oil

¼ cup olive oil

Place all ingredients in a clean glass jar and gently swirl in a clockwise direction. Seal the jar tightly and allow it to sit for 13 nights in a cool, dark place.

Strain the oil through a cheesecloth and use it to anoint candles for wish-magick, jinx-breaking and spells to attract good luck, money and success.

SPIRIT OIL

1 tablespoon powdered orris or serpentaria root

1 tablespoon dried Solomon’s Seal

1 tablespoon dried and crushed rosemary

1 small pinch of powdered jade or turquoise*

3 drops sandalwood oil

3 drops mint oil

¼ cup safflower oil

Mix all of the ingredients together and store in a tightly-capped glass jar for at least three weeks in a cool, dark place.

Strain through a cheesecloth and use to anoint candles for exorcisms, seances, counterspells, purification rituals, protection against evil influences and spells to increase clairvoyant powers.

VOODOO-WITCH OIL

3 tablespoons honey

3 teaspoons powdered bat’s skull (optional)

13 drops blood (human or animal)

6 drops honeysuckle oil

3 drops patchouly oil

¼ cup sunflower oil

Mix all of the ingredients together on a night of the full moon and use it to anoint Voodoo candles for both white and black magick spells, divination, spirit communication and invocation of loas.
