How to Use Herbs on Witchcraft Candles
Adding herbs to witchcraft candles enhances their energy and aligns them with specific intentions. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Choose Your Herbs
Select herbs that correspond to your intention (e.g., lavender for peace, basil for abundance, rosemary for protection).
Use dried herbs for easier application and safety.
Prepare the Candle
Cleanse the candle using incense, saltwater, or visualization to remove any negative energy.
Anoint the Candle
Apply a small amount of ritual or essential oil to the candle. This helps the herbs stick and adds another layer of intention.
Rub the oil from top to bottom or bottom to top, depending on your goal (e.g., upward for attraction, downward for banishing).
Apply the Herbs
Sprinkle the herbs onto the oiled candle. Roll the candle gently on a flat surface with herbs to ensure an even coat.
Be careful not to over apply, as too many herbs can cause the candle to burn unevenly or dangerously.
Set Your Intention
While applying the herbs, focus on your intention. Visualize your goal and imbue the candle with your energy.
Place the Candle Safely
Set the candle in a fire-safe holder. Clear the surrounding area of anything flammable.
Light the Candle
Light the candle and meditate on your intention as the flame burns. Watch how the flame interacts, as some believe it can indicate how the spell is working.
Burn Safely
Always keep an eye on the candle as it burns, especially with herbs added. Snuff it out if you need to extinguish it and relight it later to complete the spell.
Dispose of Remnants
After the candle burns out, dispose of the remains in a respectful way, such as burying them or discarding them thoughtfully.
Safety Tips:
Use only small amounts of herbs to prevent excessive flames.
Always burn candles in a safe, ventilated space.
Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby for emergencies.
Herbs can greatly amplify the energy of a candle spell when chosen and applied with care.
