Candles in Wiccan Spell Work
Lighting one or more candles is a simple, but effective, way to signify the beginning of a spell. During the magical work requests made to the universe are expanded into the air by the flame.
To mark the end of a spell or ritual, use a candle snuffer rather than simply blowing out the flame as this will increase its magical potency. Another effective way to use a candle in Wiccan spell work is to write down a spell or blessing on a small piece of paper, and to then burn it carefully in the flame of a candle.
