This is a quick, uncomplicated method of more
fully charging a candle. This method can be
used without having to set up your altar
completely. It can equally be used to charge
your altar candles.
YOU WILL NEED
A candle or candles of the appropriate colour (if
preferred, mark them with appropriate symbols)
A candle holder
Matches rather than a lighter
METHOD
✤ Hold the candle in your ‘power hand’ (the
hand you consider you give out energy with).
✤ Open the other hand and turn that palm
towards the sky.
✤ Breathe deeply and visualize your goal.
✤ Now perceive whatever you think of as
Universal Energy flowing through the palm
that is turned skyward, filling your body.
✤ Visualise that Universal Energy mixing
within you with the energy of your intention.
✤ Now allow that mixed energy to flow into the
candle.
✤ Be conscious of the energy as it builds up.
✤ Feel the energy streaming into the candle.
✤ Fill it from bottom to top as though the candle
were an empty vessel.
✤ If you are comfortable with doing so, speak
your intention out loud.
✤ As you place the candle in its holder, stabilize
the thought within the candle so that it will be
converted into pure clear intent.
✤ Strike a match above the candle
✤ Draw down the flame toward the candle,
lighting the wick.
✤ Extinguish the match flame, but do not blow
it out in case you blow out the candle.
✤ 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 burn right
down as it does its work.
Candle colour and the symbols inscribed on them
create additional power. As you become more
proficient, you will find yourself using certain
colours and symbols more often. Try not to be too
rigid, and always be open to widening your focus.
