#Candle dressing

[herbalgrimoire]

I made my first dressed candle last night!! I wasn’t going for any particular intention, I mainly just wanted to experiment with application techniques. I feel like the best method I’ve tried so far is to put some oil on the candle, roll it in herbs, and then hold that candle at an angle and drip another candle’s wax onto it to secure the herbs so they don’t fall off easily. I used a mixture of allspice, cloves, rosemary, thyme, lavender and chamomile. really a LOT going on with all of those smells, but I was curious what they would smell like when they burn. as you can see I haven’t quite burned the candle down to the herbs yet, so we will see 🙌

How To Properly Dress A Candle.

You know sometimes when people burn a candle they see this soot and want to know what it means. But it can be hard to read because reading a candle properly these days is different. Let me explain it's different because different candles have different wax, different companies use different wax in their candles and the wick also okay plays apart in it. A good wick is cotton it burns good and last long. If your going to do a reading on a glass candle I suggest you try out different candles and see how they burn then if you find a good one use only their candle products.

Now let's get into candle dressing.

First when you get your candle you need to trim your wick you don't want a long wick it cause a big flame. Next let's say your doing a Money candle you would scratch your name and a dollar signed into the wax. Make it simple not to big or to deep. Reason why is that if its to deep the oils would pour into the was a could make it burn to quickly.

Next rub a light coat of oil around the wax of the candle. Then add just a sprinkle of your herb. Write your petition. now your done.

Right way. Wrong way

But wait let's do it how others tell you to online.

Its said not to trim the wick. I also see some say you need to cleanse the candle.

Then you wipe something that's going to be lit on fire with a flammable liquid. Because someone said you have to cleanse the energy that another has touched.

Then write your name on the candle and then pour some oil, but the oils is a little to much. Next you cover the top of the candle with herbs and flowers and crystals right. Then I see people put glitter into it, another thing that catches on fire. Then add your petition.

Now the candle is lit and it burn hot, it catches on fire and usually instantly creates black soot. ☝️

When you properly dress a candle you going to get spiritual results. And reduce the fire so you can get a good reading and have good results. But can you imagine paying somebody to burn the candle for you and they send you a picture and the results of the reading back to you showing you a candle that looks this bad. The fire is high, candle is burned, chard, black suit everywhere.

Now what happened next after they send you a picture they're going to send you an invoice of all these things that you're going to have to get done because your candle was black and you could have bad vibes, negative vibes, are you could be cursed. All these things are not true. Why because this person don't know how to probably dress a candle.

So to whomever is ready this post remember less is more; spirit doesn't care about these arts and crafts hoodoo candles so take your time and do it right. But if your going to buy these crafts candles I suggest you use it not as a candle but as a piece to be placed on your altar as a object of powder. such as for your deity, saints, ancestors etc .
