Love Candles |
| Heat dried apple peels (or
apple-scented oil) and 2 teaspoons of dried basil together with a cup of
pink or red wax.
When the wax is melted, remove the apple peels and pour the liquid into a heat resistant container you have chosen for a mould. For easy removal of the candle after the wax has hardened, make sure the top of the container is as wide or wider than the bottom. Before doing this, anchor a wick to the bottom of the container by putting a spot of hot wax on a penny or anything similar and attaching the wick to this using another spot of hot wax. Hold onto the wick as you pour the wax. Depending on the size of the candle, you may secure the top of the wick to a pencil and span the top of the container to keep the wick straight while the wax dries. When the wax has set remove the mould. Carve you candle with symbols of love. Burn the candle for two hours at a time during the full moon (for companionship)). Visualize your desire and meditate. You may chant an incantation such as "Full Moon and Candle light the way. May love and joy find me and stay." |
