Candle magick is a powerful practice that has been used for centuries to manifest desires, set intentions, and connect with the spiritual realm. But did you know that your emotional state of mind can greatly influence the effectiveness of your candle magick? In this blog post, we will explore how your emotions can impact the outcome of your candle spells and provide tips on how to harness the power of your emotions to enhance your magickal practice.
How do emotions affect candle magick?
Emotions are energy in motion, and when it comes to candle magick, energy is everything. The emotions you bring into your ritual can either amplify or hinder the desired outcome. For example, if you perform a candle spell while feeling angry, anxious, or sad that negative energy can interfere with the positive intentions you are trying to set. Being sick can even impact the work negatively as well.
On the other hand, if you approach your candle magick with a calm and focused mind, your intentions are more likely to be clear and powerful. Positive emotions such as love, joy, and gratitude can enhance the energy of your candle spells and attract the desired outcomes. Even if the desired outcome is to cross someone, your anger can get in the way of your goals! A focused and centered mind is important.
How to harness the power of emotions in candle magick
1. Self-reflection: Before performing any candle magick, take a moment to reflect on your emotional state. Are you feeling positive and aligned with your intentions? If not, take some time to center yourself and release any negative emotions before proceeding with your ritual.
2. Emotional visualization: As you light your candle and focus on your intentions, visualize the emotions associated with your desired outcome. For example, if you are performing a love spell, imagine the feelings of love, happiness, and fulfillment as if they have already manifested in your life.
3. Affirmations: Incorporate positive affirmations into your candle magick practice. Repeat affirmations that align with your intentions and evoke the emotions you want to amplify. For instance, if you are seeking abundance, affirm statements like "I am worthy of abundance" or "I attract prosperity with ease."
4. Emotional release: If you are working through emotional blockages or negative patterns, consider incorporating a release ritual into your candle magick practice. Write down any emotions or limiting beliefs that no longer serve you, and burn the paper in the flame of your candle, symbolizing the release of those emotions.
Brief Storytime:
Before my loved one transitioned, I did everything in the physical that I could do for them, such as offer the best care medically I could find and work my candles to back the work that I was doing in the physical. Unfortunately, no matter how much I tried to save their life medically and spiritually, it could not be done! Each candle I burned came out black as tar from the top to the bottom! I was under great stress from the situation plus more and to top it off, I felt like I failed them! My magick wasn't doing what I wanted. My theory is that aside from my emotional state of mind interfering with the outcome, the plight of this person's lifestyle and divine will, kept my manifestations from coming to fruition. Then, the final candle that I lit for them did something I wasn't expecting. The candle that I burned for them was to lift them up during their transition. That particular candle was clear! That particular candle has a mix of a small amount of black soot and white! If you know anything about white soot, it's an indication of benevolent spirits assisting with the work to bring positive change!
When it was all said and done, although I wanted more time with this person, when its your time, no magick, no nothing can change the will of the Universe. I also was in such a stagnant state that I did not properly dispose of the work, so the energy of those black candles haunted me! Not just spiritually but psychologically! I taunted myself for months with should've, could've, would've's.....until I disposed of them! My spirit & my mind started to become lighter! That burden began to leave me!
The importance of emotional self-care
Lastly, it is crucial to prioritize emotional self-care in your everyday life to maintain a positive emotional state for your candle magick practice. Engage in activities that bring you joy, practice mindfulness and meditation, and surround yourself with positive influences. By nurturing your emotional well-being, you create a fertile ground for your candle magick to flourish.
In conclusion, your emotional state of mind plays a significant role in the effectiveness of your candle magick. The proper disposal of your work is just as important as your mind when going into it. By understanding how emotions can impact your practice and implementing techniques to harness their power, you can enhance the energy of your candle spells and manifest your desires with greater success.
