STEPS:
Pick Your Candle Colors, Oils & Time to do it according to Moon cycles.
Inscribe Candles: Inscribe the candles with essence of your goal and your initials using a sharp object.
Dress Your Candles: Take a drop or two of oil and rub each candle from top down and bottom up using the appropriate oil for that candle color.
State Your Will: Write what you hope to attain as if it has already happened on a blank piece of paper.
Speak this prayer over the candle:
“I cleanse and consecrate this candle in the name of the God and Goddess. May it burn in strength in the service of light.”
Now say out loud the words you wrote on the piece of paper then fold it up.
Light your candle. You can use a match or another candle to light it. This does not matter.

Now light the paper with the words you wrote above. As the paper burns away concentrate again on what you want this from this ritual.
Allow the paper to burn up completely. Take the ashes and throw them into the wind or dispel them into the earth in some way. You can light the paper outside and allow the ashes to blow away into the wind.
Allow the candle to burn down completely. It is more powerful to allow the candle to burn down completely without interruption, but if you need to break up the burning, snuff out the candles.
Snuff out the candles. Do not blow them out.
When you relight the candles concentrate again on what you want from this ritual.
Always burn the candles in a safe place. I use my oven with the door slightly open to allow a little air inside so the candles do not burn out.
