Homemade Candle Wicks

Endowing Your Homemade Candle Wicks With Some Magic

It's not hard to dip your homemade candle wicks not only into your candle mixture, but also with a little magical intent.  Although you can always buy a spell or a candle that is supposedly made to make a certain wish come true, the only way to truly make a magic candle is to make it yourself.  This would work for soy candle wicks or any kind of homemade candle wicks.

No Religion Necessary

You can be of any religious persuasion in order to dip a little magic into your homemade candle wicks.  Have you ever been sick and someone in your family fed you some homemade soup?  If you ate that soup and felt better, you know that there was more than food and spices in the soup.  There was also the hope that you would get better.  This hope can count as magic.

There's no need to petition any particular God or Goddess or make your homemade candle wicks at midnight or anything like that.  All you have to do is hold an intention in your mind as you make the candles and the candle wicks.  How would you like someone to feel when they light your homemade candle wick?  You keep that answer in the back of your mind as you go about making your candles.

Energy Magnets

Energy is all around us, in all kinds of forms.  Chinese Traditional Medicine tells us that there are energy meridians, like currents, all around and in our bodies.  Lightning rods draw lightning and magnets attract metals.  You can also charge the energy of any object your make by putting your thoughts and hopes into the projects.  This could be anything from chicken soup to a pillar seven day candle to soap on a rope to a homemade Valentine. 

You do need to be in somewhat of a good mood to add a little positive energy to your homemade candle wicks.  You could sing a bit in order to help lighten your mood.  The candle or whatever you make will pick up traces of your moods like energy.  If you make a candle when in a foul mood, the chances are that anyone who burns that candle will suddenly be in a bad mood, too.

You could imagine that your magical intent (whether it's to draw love, heal the sick, whatever) is a sprinkle of fairy dust that clings to your homemade candle wick.  Then mark that candle to be burned for only that particular purpose.
