I have the answers to your questions, at least it is the way that I perform
the things that you are looking for. To anoint candles, take a speficic oil (
one that coresponds to your desire...ie:money oil for money spells...and rub
from the top to the middle, then from the bottom to the middle, in that exact
way, all the time thinking about your desire. Before you do this, you may
want to inscribe the candle itself with the speficic purpose that it will be
used for. You can do this by either using your language that you use in every
day use, or get a hold of a book that describes different witch languages that
were used way back when. It seems to give the spells an added umph!!. To
open a circle, find out first which direction is north, south, east, and west.
Place a candle that cooresponds to the direction at each corner. Then using a
broom, sweep outwards casting out all impurities around the desired space.
After completing this, light each candle with saying an invocation to the
direction( for an example: "I call to the watchtower of the North, and as
that you watch over our circle, join in our festivities, and guard against us
from all evil that might want to enter." ) You can even include the
direction's element, and color if you want to . After saying this, take your
athame(sword or blade) and draw a pentacle, invision it to be a glowing blue
or white light over the spot where the candle is placed. Proceed to do this
to all four corners, starting with the north, and ending with the south. Once
done, say, this circle is now complete, thanking all directions and again
asking for them to join in and partake in the festivities. MAKE SURE THAT
ONCE YOU ARE FINISHED YOUR CIRCLE, YOU SWEEP INWARDS, AND AS EXTINGUISHING
YOUR CANDLES, THANK EACH ONE OF THE DIRECTIONS, AND PERMITTING IT TO LEAVE.
if you do not, you leave the circle open for whatever may want to wander in.
DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP!!!!! Once your circle is open, then light candles to
honor and call the God and Goddess, and any other deities that you may wish to
join you. Again, do not forget to thank them and allow them to leave your
circle when you are finished. As with the candle colors, there are countless
meanings on the colors. Go to your local bookstore, and find a book on candle
or even color magic. There are a few good ones out there. Let me know how
your doings went!!
Blessed Be!!
