#whitecandle

Description

Most of us have to cope with stress from time to time, and summer seems to increase the pressure for many. We feel like we should be relaxing, and because we’re not, that makes us feel even more stressed. Try this simple spell to help you deal with stress, now or at any time of the year. 

Ingredients

Fill a bowl with sand or salt (beach sand is great if you can get it but plain old salt will do). 

A white candle

An empty bowl

Method

Fill a bowl with sand or salt

Light a white candle and place an empty bowl in front of you. 

Let the sand/salt trickle through your fingers into the empty bowl and visualize your stress trickling away with it. 

As you do it say: 

Chant

“I banish stress and let it go

Life’s too fast, I let it sloe

Calmer, balanced, happy now

To banish stress, this I vow.” 

Completing the Spell

Throw the sand/salt away when you’re done. 

Pagan Pages: Simple Candle Spell

Candle spells can be a baby witch’s bread and butter when first starting out. Most keep candles around the house and any candle spell can be enhanced with a few common household items. I would like to share one of the simplest spells you can do, and it uses only a bay leaf and a candle.

While it is suggested for you to use a color of candle to enhance whatever intention you wish to invoke, a white candle can be used as a viable substitute if you don't have the correct color. First, take your bay leaf and write your “wish” or the desired outcome.

Once you have your wish written, close your eyes and visualize your wish coming true. How will you feel once it comes to pass? What is going to change? Once you have a firm image in your head, burn the bay leaf with the flame of the candle and allow it to burn completely in a fire safe container. As the leaf burns, hold onto the image of your wish coming true. The stronger your intention, the better the spell will work.

Have you tried this spell before? Let us know in the comments. :)
