The Art of Candle Magic: Our first Blog Post!

Greetings, Ordinary Magic Community!

Welcome to our very first blog post! We hope to create content that is both educational and inspiring. Content that helps you bring the Magic into the Ordinary! As of now there won't be a set schedule for blog posts. I want to leave it as organic as possible and post when lady inspiration visits me. Feel free to make suggestions on themes and topics you would like me to cover. 

Stay Magical,

Today, we're diving into the illuminating world of Candle Magic—a powerful and ancient practice that harnesses the transformative energy of fire to manifest desires, set intentions, and create sacred space. Whether you're a seasoned practitioner or new to the craft, our guide will light your way.

What You'll Need:

1. Candles: Choose colors that align with your intentions (e.g., white for purity, green for prosperity).
2. Carving Tools: Use a needle or small knife to inscribe your intentions onto the candle.
3. Essential Oils: Anoint your candles with oils to amplify your intentions.
4. Herbs and Crystals: Complement your ritual with corresponding herbs and crystals.

Step-by-Step Guide:

1. Set Your Intention: Clearly visualize your goal. Write it down to solidify your focus.
2. Choose Your Candle: Select a candle color that corresponds to your intention:

   - White: Purity, protection

   - Red: Love, passion

   - Green: Prosperity, abundance

   - Blue: Healing, communication

3. Consecrate Your Candle: Anoint the candle with essential oils. Start anointing from the middle to the top, then from the middle to the bottom, symbolizing the flow of your energy.

4. Carve Your Intention: Use a carving tool to inscribe words, symbols, or your intention onto the candle. This seals your purpose into the candle's essence.

5. Create a Sacred Space: Find a quiet, undisturbed area. Light some sage or Palo Santo to cleanse the space and yourself.

6. Light the Candle: As you light your candle, focus intently on your intention. Visualize the desired outcome vividly.

7. Meditate and Visualize: Sit quietly, meditating on your intention as the candle burns. Let the candle burn completely for stronger spells, but always practice fire safety.

8. Close the Ritual: Once the candle has burned down, thank the energies and release your intention into the universe. Properly dispose of the remnants.
