BLUE candles help you focus and find solutions to repparttar 129997 problems in your life. Serenity, beauty, grace and self-control are summoned by this candle. It is also a candle that is associated with peace and mercy, so it is a good one to burn if you feel oppressed by creditors or picked on by people.

PURPLE candles can be very decadent or very holy depending on what your intent is when burning ... purple is repparttar 129998 colour of repparttar 129999 eccentric, repparttar 130000 bon vivante, as well as repparttar 130001 colour of wisdom and royalty. This is repparttar 130002 candle to burn if you feel like life has gotten a little boring lately ... it will bring you back into repparttar 130003 sexy dance of life.

VIOLET is repparttar 130004 colour of repparttar 130005 higher self, and is good to burn when you need to connect to your higher self. It enhances intuitive abilities and is a good colour to burn when you feel you need to let go of someone or something .. stare at repparttar 130006 flame and throw all of your worries, concerns and burdens into repparttar 130007 violet fire.

BLACK. I rarely burn a black candle and I don¹t know why ... black candles are grounding and often associated with negative rituals and energies...on repparttar 130009 other hand they are also used for protection.

WHITE candles are repparttar 130013 all purpose candle. When in doubt, use a white candle. A white candle burnt with another coloured is said to clear repparttar 130014 energies to allow repparttar 130015 colour to resonate through space. Use them as ³helper¹ candles. Alone they represent, peace, purity and repparttar 130016 connection to repparttar 130017 higher realms, in particular repparttar 130018 angels and whoever percieve God to be...

Remember that when you burn candles, it is your intent that matters repparttar 130019 most. This kind of ritual depends on synchronicity, so make sure that when you make you wish, you picture or act out repparttar 130020 scenario in your mind as vividly as you can ... and don¹t forget to laugh maniacally when you¹re finished. The cosmos likes a person with a sense of humour:)

Bay Leaf Ritual for the New Year

Written by Sam Stevens

Continued from page 1
Place repparttar

cheque you wrote to yourself under repparttar 129994

dish. Light repparttar 129995

candle and say: "In repparttar 129996

name of

I Am that I Am I pray to repparttar 129998

Archangels and their legions of light, I pray to repparttar 129999

blessed Virgin and her angels of compassion for repparttar 130000

following assistance and blessings" Now open repparttar 130001

package of bay leaves. There are two ways of doing this spell -- in a really BIG way or in a more efficient manner. It depends how much time you have. When I did this on my birthday I used 108 bay leaves (or fragments of leaves because sometimes they crumble in repparttar 130002

package) but you can use less if you like. I used 108 because it is a real magic number, but you can just do as many bay leaves as you can. As repparttar 130003

candle burns and repparttar 130004

incense is burning too, I want you to write on each bay leaf, a single word that represents each thing you would like to happen in repparttar 130005

near future. For instance, if you are looking for immigration status thing write repparttar 130006

word "Citizenship" on repparttar 130007

bay leaf. If you owe repparttar 130008

dentist money write, "dentist bill paid". If you would like a lover to return write "lover returns". Each leaf has a wish written on it. On repparttar 130009

leaf after write "high paying job", on repparttar 130010

next one "safety", "security", "soulmate"... Place repparttar 130011

leaves in a circle around repparttar 130012

candle in

shape of wreathe so that it looks pretty and keep on doing this until you are all wished out. Your candle should be circled by bay leaves each with a wish written on it. This usually takes most people quite a while, and before they know it, repparttar 130014

candle has burned down.

If you finish writing repparttar 130015 leaves early that is ok too, keep burning repparttar 130016 candle down to repparttar 130017 bottom (so don't get a candle that is too big.) After you have written a wish too, it helps if you "let go of it" and resign your self to repparttar 130018 fact that repparttar 130019 higher powers are taking care of it. After you are done writing all of your wishes, I want you to say: "I consider this done in this hour, in full power according to repparttar 130020 will of God, helping all and harming none Amen." After repparttar 130021 candle burns out, I want you to take repparttar 130022 leaves and repparttar 130023 cheque and put them in an envelope. Seal repparttar 130024 envelope, wrap it with a nice ribbon, kiss it and put it in a safe place. Don't look at this again for a year. Just rest assure that all is unfolding in repparttar 130025 Universe as it should. Blessings to all of you this New Year. xxx Samantha
