3/22 - Weekly IFA Call (Intro to Candle Magic, Protocols, and Spiritual Protection)

Key Takeaways

Candles are spiritual antennas. Their behavior (e.g., flame size, wax patterns) provides direct messages from spirit, making them powerful tools for divination and manifestation.
Emotion is the primary source of spiritual backlash. All spiritual work must be performed from a neutral, high-vibration state to ensure effective, positive outcomes and prevent negative repercussions.
A strict protocol is mandatory for all candle work. This includes cleansing the space and candle, dressing it with intention, and invoking Eshu to open paths..
Protection is paramount. Use specific techniques like reverse candles or spirit dolls to deflect negativity. When returning energy, send it back to its highest vibration to close the door on further attacks.

Candle Magic: A Spiritual Tool

Candles act as "antennas" for spiritual communication.
Their behavior provides direct messages from spirit:
Flickering Flame: Active spiritual contact.
Dying Flame: Indicates a blocked environment, misaligned intent, or negativity.
Black Soot: A sign of negativity being absorbed and reversed.
Exploding Glass: A major spiritual alarm requiring immediate practitioner support.
Wax Patterns: Can form images, providing clear messages (e.g., Oya's name in wax, Yemaya's image).

The Protocol for Effective Candle Work

1. Raise Vibration: Enter a neutral, high-vibration state before starting.
2. Cleanse Space & Candle: Space: Perform a floor wash with oils/herbs (e.g., cinnamon, bay leaf) to set the energy. Candle: Wipe with alcohol or clearing spray to remove others' energy.
3. Dress the Candle:Oil: Apply a base oil (e.g., olive, grapeseed). Herbs/Crystals: Roll the candle in materials aligned with your intent.Direction: Roll towards you to attract, away to banish.
4. Set the Wick: Pull the wick towards you to attract, away to banish.
5. Visualize: Hold a clear vision of the desired outcome.
6. Invoke Eshu: Open the work by invoking Eshu to clear paths.
7. Light & Observe: Light the candle and monitor its behavior for messages.
8. Give Gratitude: Thank all spirits involved upon completion.

Candle Colors & Their Meanings

Spiritual Protection & Reversing Attacks

Source of Attacks: Negative energy can be sent by anyone, even unconsciously through strong emotions like jealousy.
Early Warning Signs: Plants dying or a sudden feeling of dread can signal a spiritual attack.
Reversal Protocol:Use a red and black reverse candle.Crucially, send the spirit back to its highest vibration. This releases the spirit from its enslaver and closes the door on further attacks.
Protection Techniques:Spirit Doll: Create a doll and transfer your ashe (life force) to it. The doll will absorb negative energy directed at you.
Eshu Relationship: A strong connection with Eshu provides protection by alerting you to attacks and blocking them.

Advanced Techniques & Monthly Work

Obatala Prosperity Work (Ogwede Magé Month):Place a white seven-day candle and a bowl of uncooked white rice in a white bowl.Why: This creates an ebo (offering) to Obatala, who ensures there will always be plenty.Enhance: Add bay leaves with intentions, cinnamon sticks, or coins to the rice.
Beeswax Candles:More powerful due to their connection to Oshun and Eshu.Why: They must be cured for one year before burning to fully activate their spiritual medicine.
Oil Lamps:A powerful alternative to candles, made with fruit shells (e.g., pineapple) and specific oils.Why: The oil choice aligns with the work's intent (e.g., grapeseed for prosperity).

Next Steps

Participants: Consider the Obatala prosperity work (white candle + rice) for the Ogbe Meji month. Book a spiritual consultation with a practitioner for guidance on complex works or to create a personal spiritual protocol.
