Color of the day: Green Incense of the day: Nutmeg For this spell you will need a green taper candle and a sheet of black beeswax. If you don’t have beeswax, you can use black thread or embroidery floss. Cut the beeswax into long strips of equal widths and wind them (or the thread) around the taper or pillar to form a “road” that spirals around the candle. Press the beeswax strips or thread gently but firmly onto the taper. (You can also use a hair dryer to heat up the wax a bit so the thread or beeswax strips adhere better.) Once the road is set, dress the candle with a citrus essential oil if you have it. (Citrus oils such as orange, lemon, and bergamot will add uplifting energy to this work.) As you create the road and dress the candle, say: Twist and turn, Burn the candle in a holder or heatproof dish when you need it (e.g., before a job interview or test, when making a big decision). Don’t leave the candle burning unattended, and make sure all flames are fully extinguished when you’re done. |
