USING CANDLES

Candles are usually dressed before they are used. I do not usually use this method, however and I have found that I get the same results by just rubbing the candle. Oils must be consecrated before they are used. Use oils to dress the candles by finding one that coincides with the spell you want to perform. Rub the candle with the oils. Later, if you like, you may roll the candle in herbs that also will help with the type of spell you wish to perform.
To draw something toward you, rub the candle in a downward motion from the top to the middle. Then rub from the bottom up to the middle as well.
To repel something, reverse by rubbing from the middle to the ends.
NEVER RUB IN A BACK AND FORTH MOTION: it negates the entire process.
When finished, dab some of the remaining oil on your third eye and then in the center of your breastbone. Speak words of power over the candle such as:
I cleanse and consecrate this taper in the name of the God and Goddess. May it burn in strength in the service of light.
Continue by stating the purpose of the candle.
When inscribing a candle, use the same directional procedure. To bring things toward you, write from the top to the middle, then from the bottom to the middle. If you are repelling something, reverse the procedure. The athame is used to carve the inscription.

CANDLE CHANT
When you are ready to light the candle, chant something like:

Candle of power, candle of might,
Create my desires here on this night.
Power, stream from this candle's fire.
Bring to me my heart's desire.
My words have strength, the victory's won.
So say I, this spell is done.

LIGHTING, EXTINGUISHING AND DISPOSAL
Light all candles with a lighter or another candle. Never use matches, as the sulphur will disrupt magickal workings.
To extinguish a candle, use a candle snuffer, or wave your hand over the top of the candle to create enough draft to extinguish it.
If you plan to use it again, store it carefully. If the spell calls for a virgin candle, bury it off of your property for spells involving the movement of things away from you and on the property if you wish to draw something toward you.
Keep candle drippings from all rituals, except those where you are repelling. You can add drippings to healing pouches (if the spell was for healing). Remelt them on a talisman consecrated and empowered during the same ritual, or keep them simply in the bottom of a purse or coat pocket for good luck, fertility, romance and fortune.

CANDLES AND SYMPATHETIC MAGIC
When candles are molded into shapes, it is called sympathetic magic.
To assist in finding a familiar, burn a candle in the shape of the animal you desire
Fertility spells can be cast with a phallus-shaped or womb-shaped candle. Healing uses human-shaped candles or skull candles. White ones are for healing, black ones for reversing spells and warding off negativity. Different animal-shaped candles can be used for a specific purpose. Some examples are: dog - loyalty, cat - cleanliness, wolf - wisdom, bear - motherhood, rabbit - fertility.
Another type of candle magic uses pins. Stick a pin in as close to the top as you can without breaking the wax. As you insert it, say:
"When this candle burns to the pin,
The process of (name the desire) will begin."
Insert a secont pin close to the first and say:
"When this candles burns to this pin
The process of (name the desire) will come to a successful completion and end."
-This idea came from Silver RavenWolf
You can use birthday candles or very small candles for a spell that needs to be done quickly. You can also put drops of colored oil or food coloring into small tealite candles which also burn quickly.
