Concentrate on what you want to attain while focusing on the candle’s flame. Imagine it absorbing your mind’s energy and your intention. You will feel and see the flame growing larger as it absorbs more of your thoughts. (You may also opt to write first your intention on a small piece of paper before lighting the candle. Fold this paper slowly, light the candle, and burn it on the flame while you concentrate on your intention.) Continue concentrating until the flame extinguishes by itself or by the wind, or until all of the candle have melted, or until you feel that you have completed the ritual (then, extinguish the flame with your fingers or by using a candlesnuffer, do not blow the flame out). * Keep (or bury) the candle or what remains of it. Never use it again. One candle – one spell. * Keep you faith in your heart. Everything happens in due time.
