So you want to cast a spell to improve your love life, find a job, rid yourself of negative energy, create an environment of health and happiness, (or any other spell you can possibly imagine) but don’t want to go to the trouble of setting an altar, casting a circle, chanting all sorts of incantations – you know, the whole nine yards?

One of the easiest methods (cheapest & quickest too) of spell casting is with a candle.  Candle spells can be as simple or complex as you want, require only one thing (the candle!), and you don’t need to be a Hogwarts grad, High Priestess, or witchcraft whiz to do it.

Whatever it is you’re casting a spell for, you’ll want to ensure the best results by paying attention to small details.  The two most important things you’ll need to keep in mind are timing of spell and candle color correspondences.

SPELL TIMING

Because it’s so simple, quick and easy, a candle spell can be done at any time though there are some general guidelines as to moon phase, sign, and day that you may want to pay attention to for best results. Obviously, finding the most auspicious day, moon phase and sign all happening at the exact same time for the purpose you want for your particular spell is like the “perfect storm” of spell casting – probably won’t come around too often!  Because of that, I’m generally happy with just one (or if I can get two – happy happy joy joy!) of those to happen at the same time – wonderful!

Let’s start with moon phases. Because of the moon’s strong influence on the Earth and her inhabitants, I believe the moon phase to be the most important factor in spell timing. Information on the moon phase and moon sign for any particular day can both be found in the current year’s Llewellyn’s Witches Almanac  or good old fashion Farmer’s Almanac (often free at local feed stores and garden centers).

A “rule of thumb” to remember regarding moon phases is if your spell is tailored towards receiving or gaining something, perform it during a waxing or full moon – conversely, if you wish to rid yourself of something, perform your spell during the waning moon.  The new moon phase, of course, is best for new beginnings and starting a new venture, relationship, or plan of action.  Note that each phase covers approx. 3 – 4 days so you have a few days to cast a spell appropriate for each phase.

MOON PHASE CORRESPONDENCES

NEW MOON:  (starts at the exact New Moon and runs to 3 ½ days following) Spells for health, beauty, self-improvement, love, romance, employment, creative ventures, new projects.

WAXING CRESCENT MOON: (3 ½ to 7 days after New Moon) Spells involving healing, love, good luck, animals, business, change,  sex related and any positive magick.

FIRST QUARTER MOON: (7 to 10 ½ days after New Moon) Spells for friends, luck, courage, motivation, elemental magick.

GIBBOUS MOON: (10 ½ to 14 days after New Moon) Spells for peace, courage, patience, harmony.

FULL MOON:  (14 to 17 ½ days after New Moon) Spells involving fertility, spirit conjuring, increase psychic ability, artistic endeavors, health, beauty, children, decisions, knowledge, love, romance, money, motivation, protection, self-improvement, and dream spells.
(As you can see, the Full Moon is a good time for pretty much any spell!)

WANING DISSEMINATING MOON: (3 ½ to 7 days after Full Moon) Destructive spells, hexes, reverse love spells, addictions, stress, protection, ending bad relationships and undoing negative forces.

LAST QUARTER MOON: (7 to 10 ½ days after Full Moon) Spells for addictions, divorce, banishing, removing health problems, protection, stress, ancestors, endings.

DARK/BALSAMIC MOON (10 ½ days to 14 days after Full Moon) Spells for addictions, change, enemies, justice, divorce, obstacles, removal, quarrels, stopping  theft  and stalkers.

MOON SIGN CORRESPONDENCES

I consider Moon Signs to be secondary in importance to Moon Phase. The Moon Sign changes every two days or so and can be found in most Farmer’s Almanacs, Llewellyn’s Witch’s Almanac, or horoscope websites . Pay attention to the time when the moon is moving into a sign and when it moves back out – there will be a “dead time” (which can range from about an hour to several hours) when the moon is between signs – called Void-of-Course.  It’s important to know when the moon is Void-of-Course as you will NOT want to perform magic during this time.  Spells cast during the moon’s Void-of-Course will only very rarely come to fruition or have a very different outcome than you planned!

ARIES: Spells involving authority, willpower and rebirth,  beginnings, action & enthusiasm.
TAURUS: Spells involving love, real estate, manifestation, security, money, renewal,  & sensuality.
GEMINI: Spells involving communication, movement, mental energy, public relations and travel.
CANCER: Spells involving domestic life, home, nurturing emotions,  & honoring lunar deities.
LEO: Spells involving power over others, success, determination,  courage, child birth.
VIRGO: Spells involving employment matters, analysis, service, organization, studies, health & intellectual matters.
LIBRA: Spells involving court cases, balance, cooperation, partnerships, socialization, beauty, & artistic matters.
SCORPIO: Spells involving secrets, regeneration, sexuality, power, psychic growth, & justice.
SAGITTARIUS: Spells involving publications, strength, humor, sports, idealization, study and the truth.
CAPRICORN: Spells involving career, building, business, rewards, political matters and ambition.
AQUARIUS: Spells involving science, freedom, personal expression, authority, ambitions, problem solving, friendship, humanitarian & group work.
PISCES: Spells involving music, ideals, spiritual & visionary pursuits, transformation, sensitivity, telepathy and clairvoyance.

DAY OF THE WEEK CORRESPONDENCES

In my opinion, the day of the week is the least important since it has nothing to do with the moon’s phase or position but it’s still useful to know if you want to cast a spell and the auspicious moon sign is a long ways off.

MONDAY: purification, protection, peace
TUESDAY: protection, strength, health, passion, courage, stimulation, energy, money, fertility, growth, employment
WEDNESDAY: power, healing, spirituation, meditation
THURSDAY: healing, patience, happiness
THURSDAY: healing animals
FRIDAY: love, friendship
SATURDAY: change, psychic ability
SUNDAY: intellect, attraction, study, divination

Now that you’ve planned the perfect time for your spell (hopefully well in advance!), you’ll need to select the candle with the appropriate color correspondence.  If you know anything about the chakras, you’ll see that the color correspondences of candles are similar to the characteristics of each chakra with the same color value.

CANDLE COLOR CORRESPONDENCES

So, you’ve got the proper candle all ready and it’s the right moon phase, moon sign, time/day, etc., now what?  The simplest candle spell involves nothing more than holding the candle in your hand and visualizing your goal while you state your intention – either aloud or in your mind – and light the candle.  If you have a 7 day candle (found at many Hispanic groceries and farmer’s markets) that’s in a tall glass container, you can leave the candle burning continuously till it burns out completely.  Of course, you’ll want to keep it and any candle up out of reach of children and pets and allow enough headroom so it doesn’t burn or scorch anything over it.  Any other candle you will want to extinguish the flame after a period of time (there’s really no set time to leave it burning) – and DON’T just blow it out! A real witch extinguishes his or her candle with a candle snuffer. If you’ve initiated the spell on the first day of a particular moon phase or sign, you may want to re-light and rededicate the candle the next day (and next) as long as that same moon phase and sign are still occurring.

If you want to get fancy, there are many ways you can enhance your candle spell or make it more elaborate. This may be a good idea if the spell is for something that requires particularly powerful magick as in healing, a big transformation, major change, or for strong protection or banishing.  Some suggestions for enhancing the power of your spell:

1. Set up an altar especially for that particular spell with crystals, herbs, symbols, pictures of Goddesses & spirit entities you plan to invoke, and anything else that might be appropriate to your spell. For example,  silver coins and paper money for money spells,  roses and rose quartz for love spells, etc.

2. When dedicating & empowering the candle, hold it in your right (sending) hand and put your left (receiving) hand over your head while you state your intentions. The idea is to receive the energy you ask for with the left and send it forth into the candle with your right.

3. Call upon a particular God or Goddess, spirit guide, passed over loved one or particular entity, angel, or other spirit form to aid you in your spell. You’ll want to research this in advance. Some examples are asking Lakshmi, Hindu Goddess of abundance, to bless you with prosperity – or Hekate, Witch Goddess of crossroads, to help you find direction in your life.

4. Carve the candle into a shape particular to the spell. For example, if you wish to perform a spell for beauty or weightloss, carve the candle into the form you wish to emulate.   Or you can simply carve pictures, symbols, or sigils into the sides. Runes appropriate to your purpose are useful to incorporate. Again, you’ll want to research which ones will be appropriate for your spell in advance.

5. Anoint the candle with a spell or essential oil that is appropriate for your spell. Rose oil is useful for love spells, basil oil for protection and purification.

6. Encircle the candle with crystals appropriate for the spell. Clear quartz is a good all-purpose crystal, amethyst is useful for healing and spirituality.  The Crystal Bible by Judy Hall is an excellent source of information on the various crystals and their uses in spells and spirituality.

7. After the candle is lit, sprinkle tiny amounts of a loose incense into the flame or light a stick or cone incense in the flame, dedicating it to the spirit entity you asked for help from. Allow it to burn out, visualizing your intention floating up into the universe along with the smoke.

That’s it! Now that you’ve performed your spell, keep your candle, crystals, altar – or whatever else you’ve set up to perform the spell – somewhere that you’ll pass by it from time to time and be reminded of it. Spells work by the same principle as the “Secret” or Laws of Attraction.  It’s the power of your positive intention that sets the spell into motion – attracting what you fix your mind to into your life. Notice I said POSITIVE intention!  Regardless of the spell you are casting or the intent, you must visualize and verbalize it in positive way. The Universe (Source, Universal Mind, God, Goddess – whatever you want to call whatever you are appealing to in your spell) doesn’t think in terms of negatives.  For example, if you want to attract a new mate, you will want to think in terms of the kind of man or woman you DO want rather than one you DON’T want. Don’t say anything like “No losers, drug addicts, control-freaks, etc.” as the Universe doesn’t hear “NO”.  Instead, ask for a mature, kind, loving, and responsible person to come into your life. Otherwise you’ll attract  precisely what you don’t want!

Another thing to always keep in mind when spell casting (whether by candle or any other method) is the Wiccan Rede. Even if you aren’t Wiccan, the rules still apply to all belief systems!  The three most important  parts (in my opinion) are:

1. “AN HARM YE NONE, DO AS YE WILL”. It’s basically the Golden Rule of spell craft and though there is some discussion to what that actually means, it’s a good idea to think of it as meaning simply “DO NO HARM”- or do unto others as you’d have done to you – that sort of thing. That means no evil spells, hexes, or curses!

2. THE RULE OF THREE – a karma-like idea stating that which you send forth comes back to you threefold. Thus, any ill-will or bad intent you send out to someone else will come back to you MUCH worse! Now turn that around and think how wonderful it would be to send out positive, loving, and beneficial energy and have that returned threefold!

3. NO MESSING WITH FREE WILL! Just like Bruce Almighty, you can’t MAKE someone love you, fall out of love with someone else, give you a job, hand you a wad of cash, or suddenly change their mind about anything. All you can do is change your own thought patterns, set up an environment and an energy that is conducive to attracting the things that you want, and set the wheels in motion to get the things that you deserve and that are right for you at the right time in your life. After all, you may think that you need one particular person to love you to make your life complete but there may be another person even better out there that you haven’t even met yet. Let the Universe decide when and how you’ll get your wishes fulfilled – but be clear about what those wishes are!

Now that you know the basics of simple candle spell casting, to get to work on that wish list and make it happen with your own magick!

Best wishes and brightest blessings on all your spiritual endeavors!

Well….what I am hearing a LOT of and I am sure you are is people talking about money; mostly the lack thereof.  Other things I am hearing in terms of prosperity and abundance is the lack of time, the lack of friendships….and unfortunately, some are dealing with “food insecurity” among many other depletions in their lives.  This is hard.  This is real life.  This is what we deal with on a daily basis.   You know…. when you’re in the shower alone and nobody sees you… the tears that just flow or maybe you’re so overwrought, you can’t even cry.  All due to a lack of something in your life.  That negative “lack” has an unfortunate side effect.  It actually is ACTIVE.  The more the lack is dwelled upon, the more it seems to attract other negatives (arguing with spouses, children, etc; traffic tickets; overlooked tasks, etc.) into your life.  There’s one word I can think of right now.

STOP!

Yes, seriously.  (Stay with me for a minute…okay?)  As I am writing this, I am dealing with a severe lack financially and in terms of my health.  I know this intellectually and my emotions and heart, soul and spirit undoubtedly know this too.  I am wrestling with the very things I am talking about.  You’re not alone.  So, I figure let’s work on these magickal/metaphysical/quantum physics problems together?  Kind of like dieting… it’s easier to exercise when you’re not alone.  I know, you’ve already read The Secret and it’s not working, right?  Well, that’s because you’re not ‘working IT!’  It takes ‘conscious living’ — the old motto, “PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.”  I hate to break it to ya, but it’s true.

With this in mind, what are the “lacks” in your life?  Money, Health, Friends, Love, Food, Shelter, Clothing, Understanding of something?  You know what you’re lacking.  We’re not talking about lacking a Corvette but REAL lack.  Lack that hurts.  Lack that is making you suffer, even just a little.  Right now, grab a pen, pencil, crayon, lipstick whatever you can and a piece of paper (any paper will do) and write down your “lacks.”

Got it?  Now, next to that or underneath it, whatever, write down what you feel you have an abundance of in your life (yes you have an abundance of something POSITIVE) — Don’t write down “I have an abundance of poverty.”  That’s redundant and you should already have that on your “lacks” column.  Just write down what you feel you have an abundance of (abundance is meeting the need, thensome.)

Okay, now what?  Well, now you have a platform.  You have in writing (there is much power in the written word by the way) the things you need to work on.  If you didn’t already do so, go ahead and number the “lacks” in priority of those you need the most.  So, if you lack money more than anything else, #1 would be Money, #2…etc.

Take the first one in your “lack” column/paragraph.  That’s where you’re going to start.  One thing at a time.  When you have this answered, or feel like it has a rolling momentum magickally and you can see movement in this area in your life, then you will move to lack #2.  (Knowing this, you may want to reprioritize your “lacks”.)

I am going to share a spell with you that you can do for every LACK in your life.  But just do one at a time, and do it well.  Put the effort into it.  It doesn’t take much, but you….the spirit….the essence of who you are needs to be deeply imbedded into the working of this so you see a working positive result.  Got it?

Oh yeah, while you are actively working on bringing more positives into your life, you need to HALT your negative thinking and words.  The Universe DOES NOT understand Negatives.  So if you say out loud or think to yourself, “I don’t want to be poor”, then what is heard is “I want to be poor.”   It is the basics of the Law of Attraction.  NO NEGATIVES.  Instead of saying I don’t want to be poor, you need to say “I have all the money I need.” or something similar.  You get the idea.  (Now again, this takes practice.  You’re gonna goof up.  Don’t beat yourself up, or that brings in another whole issue and another entire magickal working to correct!… Give yourself Grace!  Grace to goof up and keep going.)  Oh yes, … don’t forget to focus on those positives (abundances) you wrote down each day.  Then be thankful for them.  This is an active part of having positive things manifest into your life.

This spell is written with MONEY in mind and in the wording.  YOU NEED TO CHANGE THAT WORDING TO REFLECT THE LACK YOU ARE WORKING ON IN YOUR LIFE FIRST.  So in place of words of money, you can replace with words regarding health and wellness, etc.  Feel free to change the spell wording to also suit you.  Think of this as a skeleton format and you are the author…. spells are personal.  Make this one very personal just for you.

So, without further ado, let’s do a very effective spell together called, The Tarot Abundance Spell^© that will help with what you are in need of in your life.   PLEASE feel free to leave a comment on this thread below the article sharing your manifestation of this spell with others!  When answers come and your spell works, it’s easy to forget it and move on in our lives.  Take a moment and comment so others can be encouraged if they’re in a waiting phase and their spell hasn’t yet manifested.

May your Spring be a MOST abundant one!,

With moonlit beams of joy,

Morika

                        Tarot Abundance Spell^©

Again, remember this is written for Prosperity.  Change the wording to suit your needs at this time.

Need: One green candle (Green if you’re doing money; blue if you’re doing health; orange if you need success; yellow if you need creativity/hope; red if you need love; pink if you need friendship; white for other needs–if you don’t have a green candle, use white which can be used in place of any other color at any time, for any ritual;) powdered cinnamon or use Frankincense or Myrrh Resin for all other petitions (the fresher, the better;) the Tarot card that most represents wealth and financial abundance (or whatever it is you are seeking) TO YOU (go through the deck looking at the pictures…when a card that ‘feels right to you’ and in your mind looks like the right card for the situation, use that card*;–it can be ANY card you want or feel connected to…do not think of rules here, this is intuition and you need to choose the card you’re drawn to the most, no matter what it is.) For prosperity spells for money, use a $1 bill or some coins (a good variety of silver and a couple of pennies will suffice.)  — Note: if your spell is for something other than money, find something that visually reflects your need (i.e., health could be a bandaid, etc.)

Lay the card face up. Surround it with the money (or other objects) in whatever way feels most comfortable to you – there is no right or wrong in this ritual; keep that in mind.  Place the candle at the head of the card and light it (make sure the candle is securely fitted in a good candle holder so it won’t fall down and catch things on fire.) Focus on the imagery of the card.  You’ll know the right amount of time.  Then visualize yourself paying your bills EASILY (or other visual as you have chosen for your need); visualize being paid money from someone that owes it to you; visualize money coming to you from an unexpected source (lottery, inheritance, etc.) and money coming to you in other forms (if you sell things online, that would be an example of this.)  Sprinkle cinnamon (or other herb for other needs) on the flame saying affirmatively and adamantly:

Money of Silver, Green and Gold  (alt. Health of Blue, Silver and White)
Hurriedly Bring me Wealth Untold (alt. hurriedly bring solace & healing tonight)

Bring me enough, then some, for my Needs

Let money in my Hands, Grow like Seeds. (alt. let health reign free and grow like seeds)
Riches come through every possible Door (alt.  Wellness comes through every possible door)
To make me Money Ten Times More (alt.  To keep me healthy ten times more!)

And as I will, So Shall it Be,

Money will SURELY come to me.  (alt. health)

This always works~~It’s always a blessing!

Snuff the candle and wrap it in the bills or coins (or other object as chosen) and tie it up with green string. – Let it sit near your front door of your home, or front door of your place of business (if money); or if you prefer, put it in your purse.  You can safely remove it and bury it or throw it away once your spell has manifested.

Here’s a great song by a wonderful pagan artist that will help you with “the positives”.
Affirmation from the Wild Earth Child album by Jenna Greene. Please support independent art!

*Any card in the deck could look like money, health, love, etc. to you.  This is a spell that is about you; how you perceive things and your view of the pictures on the card can be quite different from someone else.  So it is NOT necessary to pick a card that is KNOWN to be a card of abundance. Any picture that quietly speaks to you and lends you to think and easily visualize ‘money drawing’ scenarios (or health drawing scenarios, love drawing, etc.), is the RIGHT tarot card for this spell.  This is a personal spell*

Sunset Working Magikal Kabinet

You don’t need things to be a witch, but sharing in the wisdom and practices of others, expands our own knowledge. Here are some delightful handcrafted items to peruse and perhaps add to your own stores of Witchy goodness.

I used to find communicating with my Spirit Guide extremely frustrating at times. Often there was so much interference it was like talking to someone on a cell phone with spotty reception. Usually I could get the gist of the message, but I would feel like I might be missing out on some pretty important information. I also experienced headaches afterward from the difficulty of trying to stay focused and concentrate.

During one of my communications, I had to cut it short. I was tired and the headaches were really getting to me. This was still new to me (well, new in that I was choosing to have an active relationship with my spirit guide vs the occasional message) and Oracle was speaking of the importance of grounding and meditating to communicate. Needless to say, I was quite upset that we were not able to finish. I thanked Oracle for the message, apologized for not being able to finish the conversation and said my goodbye.

In our next conversation, Oracle shared with me a wonderful meditation in which I grounded myself and raised my vibration. It made all the difference.

Wow… we’re going through a HUGE overhaul at our store right now.  Under The New Moon, just this past weekend, has MOVED to a new website, server, email program, and much more!  Our store of over 600 products is OFF the shelves!  EEEK!  Due to the fact that UTNM had been at our old site/server/software for 6 years with very little updates (I have no idea what I am doing with websites), we were at a grave danger of crashing very soon.  A dear ISP friend of mine has helped facilitate our change-over to a brand new and (scary for me) website.  I don’t know the software well yet, we’re hosted on a different server, we’re utilizing everything new and different and I have had several panic attacks this week!  BUT, ALL is good!

After over 6 years in business, Under The New Moon has TRIPLED in our growth in the last six months to such an astonishing degree that I have been completely overwhelmed for this quick of growth and a change had to take place.

We’re thrilled with the new site, although formatting changes have to still take place and we’re having a bit of trouble with international shipping modules working, AND, I only have about 15 products listed, lol.  We were unable to transfer any of the software over to the new store and we’re utilizing completely different EVERYTHING.  So; bare shelves, new building… wow.!!  I am packing orders like a fiend in the morning and spending afternoons learning a new program and adding products one at a time.

The sad thing that does hurt in this move is that I have had over 100 (well over a hundred!) wonderful customer reviews that were not able to be moved to the new site.  We had already taken the old site down and I had forgotten to copy and paste the reviews into a word doc and save them before this happened.  We lost all those incredible, beautiful and wonderful comments about our product spanning the last six years.  That was a loss.

But Under The New Moon is very rapidly entering its new Era!  We are moving forward and will be tweaking the new store to once again get that cozy, warm, ‘home-away-from-home’ feel that you came to love at our old haunt.

Please come by, even if it’s a bit bare bones right now, and register with us.  Let us know what you want to see as we embark on this new transition.  A lot is changing, yet a lot is still the same and going to remain so.  We invite you to bookmark our store and site.  Bring your kids… we always have fun and friendly articles, recipes, crafts and what-not for everyone in the family.

Our new TEA this month of September is Morika’s Fall Magickal Blend and it’s a wonderful mix of Chai and an Ancient Black Fermented Tea – a real robust and wonderful morning coffee-replacement tea or a mid-day tea when you need a bit of a boost.  All with that wonderful Fall feel and aroma!

Gotta get back to work…. 3 deliveries today and need to unpack before I call it a night and hit the shop first thing!  See you soon… Under The New Moon!
