CANDLES: GAIN FOCUS WITH THIS MAGICAL TOOL

Local metaphysical & health food stores offer unique candles
Strong focus is essential to working a successful spell, but if you're like me, you have a hard time staying focussed. Lots of unrelated thoughts jumbling around inside, certain obligations that must be performed each day and a never-ending list of things to do. It was difficult to keep my mind from wandering when working a spell. Candles are an important magical tool that people incorporate into their spiritual practices for many reasons (colour symbolism, to represent the element fire, an aid to petition or prayer, ambiance, the light of deity) but I find that they can also assist in maintaining focus.

My spells are usually narrowed down into a simple and easy-to-remember verse of four rhyming stanzas. Once I have fine-tuned my goal into this concise form, I reach for a small candle and matches.

Can't burn candles in your space?
An old kitchen or egg timer will work nicely too!

The flame of a candle is hypnotic. While fixing your gaze steadily on the flame, repeat your spell over and over in a whisper. It's okay to glance at the paper now and then to remind yourself of the wording. Keeping a spell simple will make it easier to memorize, adding a "power punch" as you are allowed to feel the outcome of your desire while repeating the words - absent distractions. Repeat and feel the words until the candle has completely burned down.

In essence, the candle becomes a timer for your spell! Because small candles only take a few minutes to burn down, I feel an enormous amount of freedom knowing that I can at least devote that small amount of time to my purpose - without being distracted about the other things I need to do. Maybe this easy technique will assist you in attaining focus in your spell work too!

Disclaimer: Many of the items sold are vintage or pre-loved. Quality of vintage items vary with the manufacturing methods available at the time of production. They are not made to current standards of manufacturing ... and in my opinion, that is usually a good thing! They tend to be higher quality, last longer and include more attention to detail than today's products. However, safety standards do change over time, items do deteriorate with age, and it is up to the customer to decide how they will use each product.
