Make Your Own Enchanted Candles and Make Your Dreams Come True!For centuries, Pagan seekers of Love, fortune, health, healing, and protection have used candles as a virtual part of their rituals. That’s why Wiccan expert and practitioner Lady Rhea began creating enchanted candles over twenty years ago- each of them hand carved, encased in glass, and embellished with seals, oils, and other decorations. Now, to show you how to create your very own enchanted candles at home, Lady Rhea has written a book based on her underground classic of the same name-designed to meet your specific needs and personalized by your won guiding spirit. Using the powers of fragrance, color, shape, exotic oils, and fire, these candles are the perfect vessels to send your spells and wishes out into the astral realm. Lady Rhea shows * The best colors and magical oils to sue to promote your spell* How to create your own personal alter or other sacred space* Why it’s crucial to be clear about why you want when casting a spell* How to work with astrology, without letting the planets rule you* Plus 50 illustrations of unique seals you can carve into your candles-each accompanied by its own spell and directions for how to make it work.
I really like the seals Lady Rhea created for this book. This book makes candle magic easy and fun to do. I never thought of using glitter or herbs to put the seal right on the candle. Makes the candles look really pretty.
The first half of the book is the basics like colors, oils, carving, explanation of how fire transform and releases the physical to the astral which is where we manifest from. It unites the physical with the mental (thoughts and ideas).
The second half of the book is full of spells for all sorts of various things.
Great resource book to have in your magickal collection. If you are curious about candle magick, learning the basics like colours and such to the more advanced applications with sigils etc. then this book is right up your alley. Definitely a worthy read if candle magick lights your fancy.
Out of the plethora of spiritual books I have read on candle magic, including one by a Santero, I find myself coming back again and again to Rhea's Enchanted Candle book. Now no I do not use her version of those large pillar candles, rather I use dripless taper candles, but where this book shines is her own garden variety of vevers or seals she has created. My favorite is the Fast Luck vever which I use quite often and just draw it on paper with my demand (re: petition) written on it then place it under my candle holder. Works quite well.
Many other candle books focus solely on things like colors of candles, shapes, planetary days and hours to burn them in, what oils to dress them with and so on but Rhea uses her own home spun vevers and they are awesome. I recommend this book for anyone who is serious about candle magic and wants to get good results. Highly recommended!
