Using candle magic

Using candle magic requires you to focus. It requires you to be able to pay close attention to one thing at one point in time, but that is something that is incredibly difficult to do on your own. Focusing your mind on just one thing for an extended period of time to allow you to cast those spells is not always easy, but when you have a candle, you can start encouraging it. You can cut the amount of time that it will take for you to focus, and that means that you can start working on your spells sooner. Think about it—if time is of the essence, you will probably want yourself to figure out what you are doing sooner. You will probably want to pull that focus as soon as possible, and that requires you to start somewhere.

To use candle magic, you must be able to focus on the candle. You must be able to essentially meditate on it. You want to focus on the effects that the candle has, and you want to use that to build your focus. Before you know it, you will be candle-savvy in no time. But, to do so, you have to pick out the right candles as well. You must know what it is that you really want and how you can encourage that focus and development of what you need.

Candle colors

The candles that you choose will not only have their own unique shapes that matter, they also have their own individual colors. Colors actually matter immensely. The colors that you choose will help to influence the spell that you are attempting to cast, and sometimes, you will have spells that will have very specific colors that are needed. If you are casting your own spell, you might need to choose a color that is going to be suitable for you, and that requires you to know which colors mean what and how you can start putting them together. Let’s go over those colors and their purposes now.

Black

Black candles are typically assumed to be evil, but the truth is, they aren’t. Yes, they have a use when using magic that is going to be darker in nature, and yes, they are likely to show up in practicing the occult, but in hoodoo, they have a more benign use. They represent protection and are prevalent in protection spells. If you need to dominate others, you would also draw upon black spells.

Blue

Blue candles are those that are meant to sharpen your communication skills. They work well to ensure that you have health and healing as well, and they are perfect for meditation. If you need some clarity in your communication with your ancestors, these candles can help greatly.

Green

Green candles tend to evoke powers of money and growth. The growth aspect is also typically linked to fertility and luck. If you are looking for growth, abundance in the universe, or luck, you probably want to turn to a green candle to create those effects.

Red

Red candles are passionate and commonly used to encourage passionate feelings. In particular, red is focused on both love and revenge. These two uses may seem like they are opposing, but they are both driven by intense emotions. Red itself is strongly capable of creating those effects of riling up emotions and is able to help do exactly that. If you need passion in a spell, you probably want a red candle.

Silver

Silver candles create a sort of feminine energy, as well, as energy, is drawn from the moon. These are perfect if you need moonlight but cannot wait until you have access to it.

White

White is commonly believed to be purifying and protective. It is also a peaceful color that you can use to create a sense of calmness that you might need in a spell. It is the most common color when you are following through with incantations and spells, and it will create a degree of clarity to your thoughts that you might not have otherwise. For cleansing and for protection, this is the perfect candle color to go to.

Yellow

Yellow candles are highly positive and are used in ways that are meant to boost morale. They are perfect for building positive emotions up, even when there are problems or stressors. It is used to evoke happiness and clarity in other people.

Reading candles

When you have your candles lit, you can then begin to draw on the energy that they create. You can start figuring out the reactions that you are trying to read so you can start recognizing the right ways to interpret the energy that is in front of you. This can start getting very deep very quickly, but if you want to know the basics, there are three key aspects to watch on your candle. You want to look at the color of your fire, the movement of your fire, and the brightness of your fire. Each of these will provide you with an understanding of what you are doing and how you are going to be able to understand them.

Color

The color that your flame takes is very indicative of the powers surrounding you. Your candle may be blue in the center or all the way to red to the tip, and there is usually yellow and orange between them. Blue flames in the center show the presence of something benign or even friendly. It could be an ancestral spirit that you are aware of, or it could be an angel. The blue is good. Red, on the other hand, shows that there may be something very powerful nearby. The power could swing either way—being good or bad—and you will need to trust your intuition there. Yellow and orange help you to see the amount of energy present in the spell that you are working on.

Movement

When your candles are burning, they will typically flicker and move in the direction of the air currents. You will see the flames moving along with the current. However, if you notice that it is flickering and you are somewhere that should have air that is still, you should pay close attention. You want to look at the direction that the flame is going so you can interpret the strength and status of your spell.

Flames moving to the east tend to indicate mental soundness. Flames facing west tend to show that there is an emotion in the spell. Flames moving to the north show some degree of physicality and flames to the south show that you have intent in your spell.

Brightness

Brightness also helps you to start seeing what is going on around you. Flames that burn low tend to mean that there are low levels of energy present in the spell as well. The flames that are higher and brighter mean that there is more energy. However, if there are flames burning unevenly, you should be mindful of focus—your spell is burning without being grounded.

The most desirable state for your candle to be in is a state in which the flame burns slowly and steadily, flickering strongly without being rapid or uneven. Steady and even means that your spell is proceeding accordingly.

DILL

Common Name: Dill Weed

Latin Name: Anethum Graveolens

Annual or Biennial herb used as a spice for the most part. Fresh dill, dill weed, and dill seeds have plenty of uses in the food industry. When you bite down on a tasty burger from your favorite fast-food franchise, the crunchy pickles sitting on top of the patty get their zesty taste from dill. Dill helps bring out the flavor of many food items, which is why it’s a favorite ingredient in snacks, baked goods, condiments, and meat products.

Dill has also been a part of traditional medicine for centuries, where healers use it as a natural treatment for a variety of ailments. The cosmetics industry also relies on dill to provide perfumes, soaps, and lotions with its unique fragrance.
Dill weed is an excellent source of nutrition, offering plenty of calcium, manganese, and iron. The herb is also rich in polyphenol antioxidants, as well as providing potent anti-viral and anti-inflammatory properties.
Here are the top eight health benefits and uses of dill.

Antimicrobial Properties
The essential oil extract from dill seed proves to have antimicrobial properties that kill certain strains of bacteria. Studies on the oil show that it kills off the fungal plant pathogen, Fusarium graminearum, that grows on wheat and barley grain. The essential oil is also toxic to Staphylococcus aureus, as well as five other strains of bacteria.
Further research shows that a study of the effects of dill essential oil on killing other fungal strains proved useful in treating patients infected with Candida albicans and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeasts, as well as Aspergillus niger mold spores.
You can benefit from the anti-microbial effects of dill oil by purchasing a natural hand sanitizer featuring dill extract in the ingredients. Alternatively, buy some dill essential oil extract from an online health retailer. The oil is inexpensive and typically readily available. Add the oil to your favorite hand lotion for a pleasant fragrance and anti-bacterial effect.


Studies have shown that dill can be used to help manage diabetes. Not only do these studies show that dill helps manage existing type 2 diabetes, but it also shows that dill may help prevent type 2 diabetes from developing.

In addition to dill’s anti-diabetic properties, the herb pairs well with fish and eggs, which are safe for people with diabetes to eat. Using dill and other herbs to flavor food can be a good alternative to sweeter, processed flavorings.

Protection/guardian spell​

Dill is a powerful protection herb and can be used as protection from nightmares and as protection for the home. Place dried dill in a pouch and put it inside or under your pillow for nightmare protection. If you are using dill to protect your home, then always place it at the doorway. The doorway of your home is one of the most vulnerable places for bad energy, or evil spirits, to enter. Placing dill over the threshold of your home will protect you against anyone (or spiritual being) who has hostile or envious feelings and will offer protection from the evil eye.

Psalm 82 - Being pushed away from God

Do you feel as if someone is working against you to make you doubt the light of Divinity and draw you towards darkness? Are foul and hurtful words coming from your mouth but you don’t know why you said it? Use this working to bring yourself closer to God and drive the darkness away.

Selah. 3 Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the affl icted and needy. 4 Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked. 5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course. 6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Justice Against an Enemy

Light a red candle and pray 2 Samuel 22 V 49-51 and your petition. This work is meant to bring forth justice.

2 Samuel 22 V 49-51

49 And that bringeth me forth from mine enemies: thou also hast lifted me up on high above them that rose up against me: thou hast delivered me from the violent man. 50 Therefore I will give thanks unto thee, O Lord, among the heathen, and I will sing praises unto thy name. 51 He is the tower of salvation for his king: and sheweth mercy to his anointed, unto David, and to his seed for evermore.

The ancestors used the Bible to their advantage; the Bible holds many hidden works. They showed the slave master what he wanted to see, which is how conjures are taught to do. Let folks see what they want to see; it's all a trick. Folks will believe whatever they want. This works to the workers' advantage, just like it worked for the ancestors. The ancestors had to be seen without really being seen. This is one of the greatest lessons you can learn.

Don't let your ego get the best of you; do your work and let folks see whatever they choose to see. It really has nothing to do with you; your goal should always be the work. The knowledge of the work is the power you need to have success in your life. Learn to see what is hidden and work with it towards making your life better. Listen closely and keep your eyes open. Listen for what's not being said and what is unseen!

No one can teach you how to pray, that is something that you have to learn on your own. The best way to start is to just start talking asking God for his blessings and to remove all blocks out of your way.

 

[Rhapscallion Démone]

Reversal Work

Jeremiah 16 V 16-18

16 “But now I will send for many fishermen,” declares the Lord, “and they will catch them. After that I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them down on every mountain and hill and from the crevices of the rocks.

17 My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from me, nor is their sin concealed from my eyes.

18 I will repay them double for their wickedness and their sin, because they have defiled my land with the lifeless forms of their vile images and have filled my inheritance with their detestable idols.”

A reversal is a set of works that removes whatever condition is on a person and returns it back to the sender. I think there is a misconception about reversal work: some folks think that if you do reversal work you are crossing the person up. This is absolutely not true! You are removing whatever has been sent to you right back to the sender; if they get knocked on their ass, that is all on them. You are only taking off what they have sent to you.

While they both do remove crossed conditions, they don't both return the said condition to the sender. Cleansing work does just that: it removes the blocks and any other cross condition that is on a person. Reversal work not only removes the crossed condition, but it also gives the sender a taste of their own medicine. There is a kind of safety clause in reversal work: if the work was justified, then nothing will happen to the person who did the work. This means if you deserved the issues you are having through your own action, then the worker is safe from any reversal work. On the other hand, if you are innocent, then the worker will feel the justice served by the spirits.

As long as you are justified in your work, then you are safe. If they were justified in crossing you up, then no reversal in the world is going to harm them, but if they were unjustified, then they're going to get their own medicine right back in their lap. Think of it as an undeliverable package at the post office and stamp it with RETURN TO SENDER.


What is justified work?

When you hear a worker say they will only do justified work, just exactly what are they talking about? Justified work is done when the target deserves it. That is why reversal work is the best way to go. You don't just work on someone because they pissed you off. When a worker jumps the gun and just starts throwing because someone made them mad, this shows an immature worker who needs to go back and learn the ethics of Conjure 101.

When you decide to work on someone, you really need to have a valid reason. This work was not meant to be thrown around on a whim; it can be dangerous. Let me give you a few examples of justified work. If a child is harmed, this calls for justified work. If a woman is battered, it's justified work. If money is owed: justified work. If a neighbor won't leave you alone: justified work. So you get the idea? Justified work should fit the crime. Do not throw at someone because they pissed you off. If you do and they do a reversal, then you will get hit with your own work plus theirs.

"45 My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 Thou art fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into thy lips: therefore God hath blessed thee for ever.

3 Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O most mighty, with thy glory and thy majesty.

4 And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

5 Thine arrows are sharp in the heart of the king's enemies; whereby the people fall under thee.

6 Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: the sceptre of thy kingdom is a right sceptre.

7 Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness: therefore God, thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.

8 All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia, out of the ivory palaces, whereby they have made thee glad.

9 Kings' daughters were among thy honourable women: upon thy right hand did stand the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear; forget also thine own people, and thy father's house;

11 So shall the king greatly desire thy beauty: for he is thy Lord; and worship thou him.

12 And the daughter of Tyre shall be there with a gift; even the rich among the people shall intreat thy favour.

13 The king's daughter is all glorious within: her clothing is of wrought gold.

14 She shall be brought unto the king in raiment of needlework: the virgins her companions that follow her shall be brought unto thee.

15 With gladness and rejoicing shall they be brought: they shall enter into the king's palace.

16 Instead of thy fathers shall be thy children, whom thou mayest make princes in all the earth.

17 I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations: therefore shall the people praise thee for ever and ever."

"46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;

3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.

4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.

5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

6 The heathen raged, the kingdoms were moved: he uttered his voice, the earth melted.

7 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah.

8 Come, behold the works of the Lord, what desolations he hath made in the earth.

9 He maketh wars to cease unto the end of the earth; he breaketh the bow, and cutteth the spear in sunder; he burneth the chariot in the fire.

10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.

11 The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge. Selah."

Light your candle and burn in an area of your home that is shared, such as the living room or bedroom.

When the candle is done burning, wash out the glass with running water, and recycle.
