Dressing candles refers to rubbing ritual oil into the candle that is related to your desire. It adds power to your energy work.
- Sit quietly and mentally prepare yourself. Quiet your mind and then think of your desire.
- Place a drop of oil on your finger tip and rub from the middle of the candle out to the tip as your concentrate on your intention.
- Repeat to the other end
- Take a few moments to reflect on your desire. Visualize it coming to fruition.
- If you have more than one candle to work with, repeat the process to each one.
- Continue with your spiritual work.
Many practitioners prefer smaller candles for a single use. They will allow it to burn completely out and then bury the candle remains as a final step. Do not leave a burning candle unattended.
To some, blowing a candle out is considered disrespectful. They will pinch it out or use a snuffer.
Candles can be carved with name, date, intention etc…

I have a question. I began a new love spell tonight using a red candle that im supposed to burn for only 10 minutes each night until the candle burns out. If I have already started the spell, is it bad to switch to a small candle tomorrow? will the spell still be effective?
Oh yes! Spells work on faith and intention. The candle is just a tool to help you focus your thoughts and energy. Don’t let doubt or worry creep into your thoughts because those become blockages. Just do the spell as you feel drawn to do it. Don’t get hung up on details. It’s what is in your heart and mind that matters. I wish you many blessings of love and contentment!
Blessed be!
