Charging Your Candle

This is a quick, uncomplicated ritual designed to be used for all positive purposes.
You will need;

• One candle of the appropriate color and carved with appropriate symbols
• A candle holder
• Matches (preferred to a lighter)

When you are ready to begin, you will first 'charge the candle' with intention.
To do that;

• Hold the candle in your 'power hand' (this is the hand you write with).
• Open your opposite hand and turn your palm up toward the sky
• Breath deeply. Visualize your goal.
• Visualize 'Universal Energy' coming into the palm that is turned skyward and filling your body.
• Visualize that Universal Energy mixing with your intention.
• Push the intention mixed with the Universal Energy into the candle.
• Feel the energy streaming into the candle and filling it.
• If you wish, speak out loud the intent of the candle.
• Place the candle in its holder.
• Strike a match above the candle and draw down the flame toward the candle lighting the wick.
• Extinguish the match flame with a quick flip of the wrist.
• Stay with the candle for a few moments visualizing your intention, feeling its energy moving into the Universe.
• Leave the area and let the candle do its work.
