Small Candle Spells

Small Candle Spells

Not every witch has the means to collect tons of exotic ingredients.   Sometimes, all you have is a candle and a wish.  So, I have put together 10 small candle spells.  (The types of candles I am talking about are tea lights or small, tapered little fellas.  Relatively cheap and easy to use!)  Hope this becomes a resource for you all!  Let’s get started!  <3 Salt

BLACK CANDLE:  Protection

You will need:

One Black Candle

Sheet of Paper

Pen/Pencil

Spellwork:

Write down what it is you wish to protect, be it your home, your family, yourself, etc.

Light the candle.

Chant the following ten times:

By the time this black candle has waned, the blessing of protection be gained by all that fall beneath its wax be safely guarded from attack. Until the next waxing moon appears, protect all that I have written here.

Allow the candle to burn completely down and the wax to spread across the paper. 

Fold it and keep it until the next waxing moon.

Repeat as often as needed.

WHITE CANDLE:  Spirit Communication

You will need:

One White Candle

Photo of the Person you wish to speak to

Spellwork:

Before bed, light the white candle and focus on the flame.  Let’s its warmth ignite the love you feel for the person you wish to communicate with.

Say their name allowed.  Speak of the memories you have with them.  Let the memory of them come to life in your mind.

When you are ready, recite the following spell:

Before I rest my head for the night, I ask that my heart’s call to you, (say their name), be answered. In dreams, let us be together again and share the embrace of love. I await your visit and, for it, you have my deepest thanks.

Blow out the candle and visualize their face in your mind’s eye.

Once the wax has cooled, place it and the picture together near your bed.  You are free to sleep.  Enjoy the visit!

PINK CANDLE:  Self-Love

You will need:

One Pink Candle

Piece of paper (cut into a heart shape)

Pencil or pen

Spellwork:

On the heart paper, write down the positive aspects and assets you have.  It can be anything (from pretty eyes to being compassionate.)  Fill up the paper and fold it into a half heart.

Hold it in your hands and shut your eyes.  Deeply breathe, and focus on your pulse and the things you wrote.  Focus on yourself.

Recite the following incantation:

I am who I am flawed, challenging, human I am who I am soulful, in communion with the universe I am who I will be ever-changing and growing And I bow to the purpose that resides in me.

Light the heart paper on fire, allow it to turn to ash, and blow out the candle.

Anoint your forehead and the center of your chest with hearts made of ash.  Meditate on the self and what your purpose might me.

Anytime you feel the need to revisit self-love, use the ashes and light the candle again.

PURPLE CANDLE:  Accessing Gifts and Talents

You will need:

One Purple Candle

Spellwork:

On the night of the New Moon, sit in a quiet, dark room.  Light your candle and concentrate on expelling all the static energy from your mind.  

Focus on your the gifts you would like to explore.  An example?  If you are drawn to Tarot, have your deck nearby and envision yourself shuffling the cards.

Repeat the following chant 13 times:

My mind is clear, my heart is too Reveal my gifts, deep and true

Open your eyes and stare into the flame.  Let the fire of inspiration illuminate the talent you want to access.

Invoke the gift by whispering:

On this night, and all nights to come, I will open myself to this ancient power and allow discovery of my true potential.

Blow out the candle and keep by your bedside.  When you practice a gift or talent, light it until there is no more wax.

ORANGE CANDLE:  Calling Your Inner Child

You will need:

One Orange Candle

Divinatory Tool (Suggest: Tarot or Oracle cards)

Spellwork:

Light the orange candle and begin shuffling your cards.

When you feel that you have shuffled enough, hold the cards in your hand and focus on the flames.

Say the following spell:

Bring future to past with this candle’s light and provide for me childish insight. One card to tell me of my woes, another about the child within, a third cast to bring us together so that we may begin again.

Draw three cards.  The first will represent your position right now (who you are and what you have been going through); the second will represent your inner child and what insights they can provide through their innocence.  The third and final card will show you what will happen if you allow the present you and your inner child join together.

Light the candle whenever you need guidance from your inner child again.

One Light Blue Candle

Money (coins or paper money)

Put one hand on each item, and say:

I humbly ask for the Universe and all the powers within it to look upon these representations of fortune and glory.  I light this candle to honor you and ask for the following blessings…

Light your candle and return your hands to rest on your items.  Recite:  

By the light of this flame, sweet fortune I do claim.   Wealth and wisdom I do gain. By warmth of this flame, glory granted to my name. Recognition I do gain.

Allow the candle to burn until there is no more wax.  Collect what is left, store in a jar, and keep in a place you conduct business.

Here in Texas it’s been hot as fuck, the ground was cracked and dry, and plants were burning to a crisp. I spend alot of time outside (usually smoking pot and meditating in the shade when it’s bearable) and i was 110% DONE with this literal hell heat. So i got some candles and did a spell to bring rain. I anointed my candles in oil and rolled them in herbs and burned them for 2 days (note: they aren’t completely burned down).

FOR THE PAST 3 DAYS ITS BEEN OVERCAST AND RAINING ON AND OFF IN THE ARLINGTON/MANSFIELD AREA AND IM SO FUCKING STOKED! For the rest of the week until Friday it’s supposed to be cloudy and rainy. Thank you Spirits, Gods, and Goddesses!

So in the light of this success i’ve decided that im gonna share this lovely spell with you all.

Im Tired of this Heat

What you will need:

3 candles-gray (clouds and lightening), dark blue (heavy rain), and light blue (winds)

Any oil correspondence with water

Herbs: eucalyptus, witches grass, lemon verbena, and i also used a very small amount of blessed salt.

Dress all three candles in oil and roll them in the herbs.

Light all 3 candles and chant:

I’m tired of this heat

Bring me clouds overhead

I’m tired of this heat

Bring me rain instead

I’m tired of this heat

Let stormy winds blow

I’m tired of this heat

Let lightening and thunder roll

I’m tired of this heat

So I call these storms to me

As i will it, so mote it be!

Brief Summary of Why Wicca and Witchcraft Are Not Interchangeable.

Energy Reading - Hera

Pale golden pearls which glow under the sunlight. Flowing blonde hair flows with the winds on an overcast day. Tied up in a loose ponytail those invisible peacocks play around on to deliver messages new, old and indifferent. Feeling the sands under foot and how they cool they feel step after step. There are memories of birds bygone and of dates along the ocean shore era after era. There is a calm presence to be felt going along these waters. How they have also changed from these green-blues when before they were of pale pinks and golds. Children can be heard as echoes of happiness within moments.  Seashells are collected and spread across a gallery. Some are of the original colors, with striking marks and intriguing shapes. Whilst others are ones painted by others to represent a part of the ocean which has been hidden by eyesight. Of the dark blues only shown at night, or the might of a myth portrayed as red is splattered to show war. Walking down these halls on pristine rugs made only to showcase those shells even more so. Clicking of heels echo and sunder anything else to silence. A flight of birds might have made a noise or sight, if one were able to see their forms in the wind behind the individual walking. Those peacocks new and old dare to watch over with piercing gazes, never stopping to see what is valuable to their master. The heels stop walking and stand in the center of the room. Darkness envelops this gallery and something glows. At first it is unknown what it is. Then, it becomes almost like those invisible gazes come to light in the forms of feathers. Watch what will happen, for kindness in the face does not dissipate the fierceness behind every action taken to protect what is just and true to everything around. ————————————— You tend to be very approachable once you are able to know someone. At first it is a little daunting for others to make contact with you because you carry yourself with such dignity. It’s hard to mistake that for anything else unless there’s lack of knowledge of others. Then it seems as though you can be too strong. Which you are strong, though others don’t realize it is simply due to how important your duties are to others. You are very watchful and aware of others. In that you know your boundaries in how to interact and you are very proud of the tasks you set forth. Because those who do take on your challenges are well rewarded with innate power and insight that others would only hope for. You also have a softness to you which can be seen as motherly. Where you are open to others conversing with you about anything, so long as you know that you’ll support others both close and far away.  You have vast knowledge of histories from this planet and many others. You’ve seen landscapes which have never been witnessed yet the similarities seen makes one think they actually have. Who better to witness changes than that where thes skies are always present. You are firm yet gentle, you are great at listening yet able to make your statement without so much as a gesture or few words. There is something utterly captivating about how you present yourself that allows others to relax yet be on their toes when you decide you are up for new bantering.
