Holiday Candle Magic

Candle Magic ~ Holidays

Candle Magic is essential during the holiday season. Candle can bring harmony, love, healing and so much more to your life and home. Colors and scents are important in choosing the right candle for the right mood, event or spell. Once you've made the right choice the next step is casting or lighting your candles.

Candle wicks should be trimmed slightly so that the flame burns true. This will prevent the candle from burning to quickly and not doing justice to the spell or mood you're trying to set. What you burn your candles in is just as important. If they're in a jar you're okay no worries. If you're buying pillar, 3 wicks or votive you need to make sure you're burning them in the right container.

When you're ready to put out your candle or are done with the spell. How you put out your candle is very important. I recommend a snuffer. As this will put the flame out without harming the work you've done. If you don't have a snuffer, put your thumb up and blow. As the air goes around your thumb and put the flame out without to much disturbance of your magic.

I clients asking about spell and doing magic. If you're wanting to learn more or what color for what event feel free to contact me. I love teaching about Candle Magic. As this is something I do in my daily life.

Love and light,

Reed Moon

REED MOON!

Ocotober 28 to November 24

The Reed Moon is typically used to make wind instruments, and this time of year, its haunting sounds are sometimes heard when the souls of the dead are being summoned to the Underworld. The Reed Moon was called Negetal, pronounced nyettle by the Celts, and is sometimes referred to as the Elm Moon by modern Pagans. This is a time for divination and scrying. If you're going to have a seance, this is a good month to do it in. This month, do magical workings related to spirit guides, energy work, meditation, celebration of death, and honoring the cycle of life and rebirth.

Remember to take time to rest and replenish yourself as winter will be upon us before we know it. If you have questions feel free to ask. I'm here to help you find the happiness and balance in your life.

Love and light,

Ivy Moon!

Ivy Moon! September 30 ~ October 27

As the year comes to a close and Samhain approaches, the Ivy moon rolls in at the end of the harvest season. Ivy often lives on after its host plant has died -- a reminder to us that life goes on, in the endless cycle of life, death and rebirth. The Celts called this month Gort, pronounced go-ert. This is a time to banish the negative from your life. Do workings related to improving yourself, and placing a barricade between you and the things that are toxic to you. Ivy can be used in magic performed for healing, protection, cooperation, and to bind lovers together.

What is Samhain?:

Samhain is known by most folks as Halloween, but for Wiccans and Pagans it's considered a Sabbat to honor the ancestors who came before us. It's a good time to contact the spirit world with a seance, because it's the time when the veil between this world and the next is at its thinnest.

Vine Moon

VINE MOON 

September 2 to September 29

This is time for harvest. This is a time to reap the rewards of your hard works. The Vine is a symbol of both happiness and wrath -- passionate emotions, both of them. Do magical workings this month connected to the Autumn Equinox and celebrate garden magic, joy and exhilaration, wrath and rage, and the darker aspect of the Mother Goddess. Use the leaves of the Vines to enhance your own ambition and goals. during this month. The month of Vine is also a good time to get-balanced, as there are equal hours of darkness and light.

Remember I'm here to help you find the path that is right for you. If you have any questions contact me. I will have a new schedule posted today.

Summer Solstice

Summer Solstice

The Summer Solstice marks the longest day of summer, the point at which the life-giving Sun is at its strongest over the the powers of darkness.

Summer Solstice or Midsummer's Day falls when the Sun is at its highest point in the sky, resulting in the longest day and the shortest night. Celebrations are held on June 21, but the solstice cover about four days on either side.

Summer Solstice is a celebration of life. By the time Summer Solstice come the planting is done, it's the pause between early crops and fall crops. Festivities include lightening bonfires on hilltops and rolling burning wheels down hillside to represent the decline of the Sun. Many people gather at sacred sites where it is common to leave an offering of summer flowers, a stone or a crystal as a thank you to the Sun.

Summer Folklore

Here is some folklore that you might find helpful.  According to forklore, if you pick 7 to 9 types of wildflowers in the evening, in silence, and place them under your pillow, you will dream of your future spouse. But you mustn't reveal whom you dream about to anyone.

Midsummer is the time to cut your wands from the trees, as the trees hold there greatest amount of light at this time.

Look for new posting daily for the Summer Solstice. I will be adding new information on the solstice. Below is the Midsummer Love Spell.
