Candles are one of the necessary items needed to carry out a ritual. They come in different shapes, colors, sizes and symbolize protection against negative energies. In every ritual, the shape and color of the candle used is dependent on the purpose of the ritual.
You might have heard about dressing and anointing candles and probably wondered what the hell that is!!!!
We anoint the candles to use them in the rituals. Why? You bought it in a store where it has been handled by different kinds of people and different energies were deposited into it. So you have to clean and consecrate them before use.
How do you dress a candle?
Dressing a candle is very easy. It is done by taking a little oil and spreading around the ends of the candle. First, locate the middle point of the candle, then with some drops of oil on your thumb, rub the oil from the center to the wick (positive part), then from the center to the base (negative part).
Precautions to take while using candles in rituals
- ·In rituals with candles the color of candles to be used is dependent on the purpose of the ritual.
- ·If you do not have candles of a specific color you can use a white candle, because it contains all the colors.
- ·It is very convenient also when making a ritual to take into account the phases of the Moon.
