Cleansing Candle Spell

Here’s a simple and effective candle working for purification using an ivory (or white) taper candle. White or ivory candles symbolize purity, clarity, and cleansing, making them perfect for this type of working.

Items Needed:

1. One ivory taper candle

2. Cleansing herbs (e.g., sage, rosemary, or lavender)

3. Purification oil (or olive oil with a pinch of salt)

4. A fire-safe holder for the candle

5. Matches or a lighter

6. Optional: Crystals for purification (e.g., clear quartz or selenite)

Steps:

1. Set Your Intention:

• Before you begin, take a moment to ground yourself. Visualize the energy you wish to clear and focus on your intent for purification. Speak your intention out loud or in your mind, such as:

“I cleanse and purify my energy, releasing all negativity and welcoming clarity and peace.”

2. Prepare the Candle:

• Dress the candle with the purification oil. Rub the oil from the center outward (upward to attract, downward to banish). As you do this, focus on your intention.

• Sprinkle or roll the candle in the herbs if you choose to include them.

3. Prepare Your Space:

• Place the candle in the holder and surround it with your chosen crystals or a small circle of salt for added purification.

4. Light the Candle:

• Light the candle and say:

“By this flame, I purify my space, my spirit, and my mind. May this light burn away all that no longer serves me.”

Visualize the flame burning away any negativity or stagnant energy.

5. Meditate or Focus:

• Spend a few moments in quiet reflection or meditation, feeling the cleansing energy fill the space around you.

6. Let It Burn:

• Allow the candle to burn down completely if possible. If you need to extinguish it, snuff it out rather than blowing on it to preserve the energy of the working.

7. Dispose of Remains:

• Once the candle has burned out, dispose of any leftover wax and herbs respectfully, such as burying them in the earth or discarding them away from your home.

Tips for Enhanced Energy:

• Perform this working during a waning moon for banishing negative energy or during a full moon for a powerful cleansing boost.

• Play soft music, chimes, or nature sounds to elevate the atmosphere.

• Open a window or door to let the negative energy leave your space.
