Christian Candle Magic book - & some uses

Discussion for and about Christian witches and pagans. How do you merge your two belief systems? Please be kind to Christian witches. I have come to believe that it is a very valid belief system.

Christian Candle Magic book - & some uses

Post by SpiritTalker »

Christian Candle Magic
The Magical Use of Candles in the Christian Home (2005; 145 pages)
By Agostino Taumaturgo


1. Candles in the Church - as light against spiritual darkness candles have been part of the church since earliest days
. A Christian’s life in candles - before or after church services, prayers can be offered in thanks for favors received, petitions for the needs of the living, in memory of the deceased, to honor Saints
. The votive rack serves as a focal point for candle 🕯 magic in the church; it’s good manners to cover the cost of candles used

2. The role of color in candle magic
. Biological reactions to visible light spectrum - red/orange stimulates, yellow/green is sustaining, blue/violet relaxes & is a bit germicidal
. Psychological uses of the visible light spectrum are therapy & rehabilitation

. Magical color applications:
🔴 - red/pink - love, strength, vitality, planet Mars, musical note 🎶 C
🟠 - orange - healing, stimulation, encouragement, Mercury, 🎶 D
🟡 - yellow - joy, confidence, the Sun, musical note 🎶E
🟢 - green - hope, fertility, growth, money, Venus, musical note 🎶F
🔵 - blue - devotion, meditation, peace, BV Mary, Jupiter, musical note 🎶G
⚫️ - indigo/black - depression, binding, death, absorbs negativity, Saturn, 🎶A
🟣 - violet - spiritual power, astral plane, mourning, the Moon, 🎶B
⚪️ - white - purity, protection, divine intervention - -


3. Working with the Saints
. The praying church - it’s an ancient belief that man has spiritual helpers, ie.,Patron Saint & Guardian Angel
. It’s not just a Catholic thing - veneration for Saints is found in the early Church before the split into Western Catholicism & Eastern Orthodoxy & the Reformation.
. The Church Triumphant consists of all the Angels, Saints, Blesseds & all within Heaven; the Church Militant consists of all living baptized & we may receive help & intercession when sought
. Offerings to the Saints - is like sharing gifts received with friends; ☕️💐
. To make contact with Saints - meditate, introduce yourself, chat; form a friendship from which goodness flows
. Commonly invoked Saints - 59 Saints & their associations are listed of which I have mentioned only a few associated with 4 common needs of love, money, health & protection - see #6 below
. Prayers in honor of Saints - a main part of a Christian witch's practice is praying to the Father & petitioning Angels & Saints; the book provides 78 prayers in Appendix A
. The 4 Archangels: Saints Michael (🔥, Protection), Raphael(💨, healing), Gabriel(💦, messenger) & Uriel (🪨, confirmation of faith); also make petitions to Patron Saints and/or your Guardian Angel

4. Uses of Candles, relics, medals, talismans
. Candles as a sacramental - a spell candle is an offering on behalf of the person to benefit from the prayer; most often for love/reconciliation, money/luck, health and protection
. Candles are lightly sprinkled with holy water, anointed with oil as a prayer or incantation is said; then placed in a holder & lighted; prayers, Bible texts and Psalms can be included; multiple candles can be arranged to suit your spell

Types of candles
. Tea light - burn time 2-4 hrs & 6-8 for thicker tea lights
. Votive placed in cups burn 10-15 hours
. Taper - burn time approx. an inch an hour
. Vigil lights - 5-7 days continuous burn
. Cross candle ✝️ - use for blessings &/or repentance
. Skull candle 💀 - use for hex breaking

. Relic medals - 2nd & 3rd class relic medals have a bubble holding a swatch of cloth that touched an enshrined Saint’s body or clothing; serve as magical tag locks to Saints
. Talismans 🗝charms, 🧿amulets & 🔡sigil seals - are symbols of the magical goal

5.Magic and the 📿 Rosary -
. Some magical uses: as offering, faith strengthening, carries grace & spiritual merits
. Joyful mysteries are done on 😃Mon & Sat; Sorrowful😔Tue & Fri; Glorious😇Wed & Sun; Luminous🤩Thur
. The proper uses of the rosary - as devotional, to honor Saints, memory of deceased, intent
. Rosary 📿 novenas - candle-lit rosary recitation for one intention on 9 consecutive days

6. Practical candle operations
. Love - Archangel St Raphael, pink or 🔴 🕯
. Money, job - St Joseph, 🟢 🕯
. Health - Archangel St Raphael, St Anne, 🟠 🕯
. Protection - Archangel St Michael, Grd.Angel, St Benedict, St Patrick, ⚪️White🕯
. Faith, fortitude - St Dyphna, 🟣 🕯
. Christian/Pagan Qs - St Hubert, 🟢 or 🟤 🕯
(not in book)

Instructions

Select the appropriate Saint and obtain (or print*) a holy🎇card of the Saint & a similar 🥇medal; use a 🕯candle of desired burn time in the associated color; set these in your magical working space. Spritz the candle with holy💦water, anoint it with an oil while saying intent; lite the 🕯candle; & lite the associated🥢incense; pray for intercession using one of the book’s prayers or internet search; when the candle burns out the spell’s done - bless the holy card, the🥇medal & yourself with holy💦water. Thank the Saint for their help; Carry the holy card & medal (in your wallet or pocket).

*DIY: You could print images of the Saint’s holy card and medal & cover them with clear packing tape for durability

7. It’s over already?
Reading a candles’ flame
. A tall, strong flame - lots of energy, little opposition, outlook is good
. A weak flame - little energy, obstacles need to be overcome, spell may flop
. Candle keeps going out on it’s own - major obstacle in the way; review the situation making sure your facts are straight; & re-do at another date
. Resin Incense - open a window when in use; resins burn on special coals -not BBQ type; church quality frankincense and myrrh like Three Kings makes copious amounts of smoke; commercial cone or stick incense is easiest to use with less mess
. Disposing of your materials - allow candle stubs & incense ash to completely cool before disposing of in trash 🚮; metal, glass, ceramic & stone can be washed and ♻️; use biodegradables 🌱 as garden compost or scatter.
