Carve the sigil above into the candle and drip your chosen fire oil into the sigil. Place the candle in the dish in front of the mirror. Light the candle as you read through your list of things you will accomplish.
💗success
~ To manifest success. You can use this for academic success, monetary success or promotions/success in your career. Anywhere where a little success and prosperity is needed.
- • One (1) beeswax tea light candle - This is better if it's raw, sustainably sourced beeswax. The candle gives off a subtle honey scent, and corresponds to success and prosperity.
* Anointing oil - You can anoint the candle, yourself or both. Any anointing oil will do, but for extra oomph, try one with citrus in it. I used a neroli and sweet orange blend, diluted in sweet almond oil.
* Three (3) Coins - Any type of coins will do. These represent prosperity. I also used them as an offering for Tyche/Isis-Fortuna (goddess of good fortune).
* Representations of the elements (earth, air, water and fire). I use crystals for this, but you can use more traditional elemental representations if you'd like. The crystals I used are Amethyst = air, Sunstone = fire, Mookaite = water and Raw Emerald = earth.
* A toothpick or some other small, pointed object for carving sigils into the candle.
* A prepared sigil for success/anything related to prosperity that you'd like to call into your life. You can use whatever sigil method you like to use. Some options are bindrunes, letters or free drawn sigils. I design all of my sigils in my grimoire beforehand. It's a good idea to have a copy of your sigil nearby before you begin carving. This way, you have a reference.
* A bowl, plate or some other fire safe container to burn your candle in. It needs to burn out completely by itself, so make sure your container can withstand heat. Better safe than sorry!
* Matches or a lighter
* Incense
🕯 Correspondences: All of these can be used to add some extra power to your spell. You don't have to follow all of them, but in my opinion and experience, it really helps.
Days: Wednesday (for academic and communication based success).
Sunday ( for all other/general prosperity and success)
Lunar Phase: New Moon or Waxing Phases
Timing: Noon
🕯 Steps:
1. Start by cleansing yourself and ritual space with any method that you usually use. I used a selenite wand and some incense. Cleanse the tea light by passing it through the incense smoke. You'll also want to ground yourself. Any grounding method is fine.
2. Set up all of your tools and materials on your workspace. You'll also set up a mini altar (like in the photo above). Place your fire safe container in the middle, with the candle inside. Then set the elemental representations around it. I like to place my elemental representations in the actual north, east, south and west corners. If you don't know where these are in relation to your space, that's ok. Just go with what feels right.
3. If you like to do your workings within a circle, cast one now. I use a quartz wand to do this.
4. Call in the quarters/elements. Ask them to lend their energy to your working, and to be present during the ritual.
5. Cleanse/consecrate the tea light candle using the 4 elements. I do this by passing the candle over each elemental representation and saying something to the effect of "I consecrate this 'name of object' with the power or 'name of element'. May it bring 'desired quality' to this working." Place the candle in the fire safe container once this step is finished.
6. If you plan to call on a deity, invoke them now. Make whatever offering you feel is appropriate. If you want to call on Isis-Fortuna, then call her name, State your intentions for the spell and offer her the coins. Otherwise, just place the coins around your altar space. I always like to tell my spell components what their job is. This can be simple. Try "These three coins represent prosperity, may they bring prosperity into this working and into my life."
7. Sigil time! Take your candle and carving tool, and carefully begin to carve your sigil into the candle. All the while, stay focused on your intention. You may find that a chant or repeating your intention out loud helps with your focus. I like to carve sigils into the top of the candle, but anywhere is fine. This can leave little bits of wax everywhere, so be careful. You might want to carve over a piece of paper to catch any little wax pieces.
8. Anoint your candle. To bring things into my life, I always begin annointing from the top of the candle, to the middle, and then from the bottom to the middle. The idea is to intersect both paths. If you have a different annointing method, it's ok to do that instead.
9. Now you are ready to light your candle. State your intention as you light the candle.
10. Now you can meditate or journal if you wish. Otherwise, thank/say farewell to any deities, thank/banish the elements and close your circle. You can leave your work space with all your magical tools as is, until the spell is finished.
11. Leave the candle in the fireproof container until it has burned out completely by itself. Once it has burned out, it's ok to clean everything up.
