Hi everyone!
I don't do a lot of ceremonial magic (magik?) because I live in a small community with the nearest city far enough away that it would not be practical to join a coven as I would probably miss most, if not all events.
In the past I did the "traditiona" casting with the cauldron and herbs like mugwort, juniper berries, etc. They worked wonderfully but unfortunatly I'm on a fixed income which makes doing these things expensive.
I've recently turned to candle magic as it's a bit easier on the old wallet. The thing is I'm not sure how it would work. I bought a book and it tells you to use certain colours for certain purposes, but the thing is they don't include the spells to go with them. Nor do they really specify whether, as in ceremonies, you should do a circle to protect yourself or just light the candle and hope for the best?
As for the spell I require, it would be for prosperity. As I mentioned in my intro, I'm an aspiring writer. I'm currently in the middle of writing my first manuscript and my focus has always been to become successful at this. I went to two psychics who both told me I would be successful at it. One said I'd be VERY successful and the other one said I'd win an award. I guess I'd kind of like to throw it out there to the goddess and ask for help. I'm a little OCD when I become focused on something. If anyone has any tips on how to ask Her in a nice way would be great!
Another question about candle magic would be, has anyone ever done the switch from using herbs and such and gone to candle magic, does it work just as well? I suppose I ask because as I said before, the "traditional" casting worked amazingly well (I only used them for big things like once I asked help to find a job (low and behold I was hired two weeks later) and another time I just a cast a general love spell and a month later I started talking to my current boyfriend).
Another thing is, I noticed that the guy who was helping me out at the store did a thing with his finger on the candle. I know one was to draw whatever you're praying (casting) for to come to you, and the other was meant to send out whatever you're asking for to go to someone else.
Finally the last thing is Samhain. This may be an incredibly stupid question but I'll ask it anyway. When you wish to say your prayer, cast your spell or just mediate, should you pray at midnight the night of Samhain at midnight, that would then turn to Nov.1 or would you mediate at midnight when Oct.30 turns to Oct. 31?
I didn't mean for this to be a book and I hope all the questions I asked make some kind of sense.
Thanks in advance.
