MC: Candle Magic Basics
This is my "homework" for the mini course "Candle Magic Basics". The photo included is all of my candles at the moment! Most are scented candles I've had on hand for a while and rotate depending on my mood and what mood I want to shift into. I also have some LED candles (one of which needs new batteries) that were used at my wedding, and I have some colored birthday candles that I got for spellwork. The center lit candle and a pink candle from the birthday pack are the ones I used for the activities in this course.
Lesson 1 Activity:
I lit a small scented candle that I've used before a few times. The wick has "flowered" and created a very round teardrop shaped flame. It was mostly steady with only light wavering unless I moved around or breathed too directly in its direction. I felt calm and focused staring at the flame.
Lesson 2 Activity:
Black feels like protection, shielding
Purple feels spiritual, connected with your psyche
Blue feels calming and centering
These seem to match up with the listed uses for each color.
Lesson 3 Activity:
I carved a message of self-love into a pink candle.
Lesson 4 Activity:
Using the candle from Activity 3, I reminded myself of the reasons I am worthy of self love (besides just being a living creature and soul) - I am smart, I take care of my family, I am taking action to make my life what I want it to be, etc
Lesson 5 Activity:
I am going to be doing some "coursework" and research tonight, so I lit a candle with the intention of opening my mind and bringing in knowledge and wisdom.
Lesson 6 Activity:
I lit a candle made from wax poured into a metal container. Though small, it has many hours of burn time left so I will be interpreting the changes in wax after this burn session.
The flame is moderate - not huge but not small. It completely envelopes the exposed wick and burns an additional 50% higher than the length of wick exposed. It does have some flickering, but mostly seems related to my own movements and breath patterns. It always returns to center and stability. I do not believe this candle is a good one for most spellwork or reading flames. It feels to me more like an ambience/mood shifting candle than one I would use for other spells. It could be an alter candle potentially, though i would get a new one and start fresh with it since that feels like the best way to honor the alter.
