Peace & Tranquility Candle Spell

My life has been in absolute fucking turmoil lately, so I busted out the ol' spell supplies and crafted a super simple, reliable candle spell.

Materials:

Blue candle (or candle in a "calming" color) & something to light it with

Salt

Chamomile (tip: if you can't find loose chamomile at your local grocery store, cutting open chamomile tea bags works just as well)

Lavender

Bay leaf and a marker or pen

Optional: a tool to carve your candle

Instructions:

Pour salt into a mound on a heat-safe tray or dish. Flatten the mound by shaking the tray/dish around a bit. You want a solid circle of salt.

Taking your finger, make a crossroads or X in the salt.

Pour chamomile and lavender into the X - representing "making way" for peace and tranquility in your life.

Optional: You may carve your candle with calming sigils or runes, if you wish, and annoint it with anti-anxiety/calming oil as well.

Place your candle in the center of your salt.

Light your candle, and feel peaceful waves wash over you. Focus on the intention of carving a path for yourself to feel at peace.

You may now write an intention on your bay leaf. It could be something like "I find time to relax", "Peace will make its way to me", etc. Anything will work!

Carefully burn your bay leaf in the candle of your flame. I personally like to use a pair of tongs/tweezers to hold the bay leaf above the candle so I don't burn myself.

Allow the candle to burn out, and feel the stress wash away from your body.

Introduction to Shielding

If you haven’t already, check out my lessons on visualisation for the basic knowledge you’ll need to begin practicing shielding.

So what is shielding?

Shielding is a manipulation of energy, used to create a barrier between yourself and unwanted, usually negative or malicious energies. It’s a basic aspect of spellwork that everyone, beginner or experienced, should use to keep themselves safe.

What can I use shielding for?

Some beginner-level uses for shielding are drawing a circle, or casting a spell. A more experienced individual might use shielding in astral travel or spirit work, where there are a lot more malicious energies involved. Personally, I use shielding as often as possible, for instance when I do tarot readings, spells, spirit work, shadow work, and especially cursing. It gives that extra guarantee that you won't flood your personal space with unwanted energies.

Other uses include shielding against real-life dangers, to a certain degree. I often shield when I am walking through town at night for extra protection. But please remember to take other measures too! Call someone, pretend to be on the phone, plan your route, and even carry pepper spray if it's legal where you are.

An easy shielding method:

The easiest way to explain this is to think of your energy as a physical manifestation. Think how power attacks are shown in anime or cartoons - a streak of colour or light, or an element. Make it personable to you: fire signs (Leo/Aries/Sagittarius) might visualise fire, or a red energy or light etc.

Firstly, some people prefer to cleanse before shielding. I don't think its all that necessary but the choice is yours.

Begin by easing yourself into meditation. Get comfortable, and use whichever technique works for you. I have various methods for this in my visualisation lessons if you are struggling.

Attempt to visualise the energies surrounding you in your mind. It might be a swirling colour of light, almost like a cloud of dust. It could be flames, it could be water. Maybe try to see it held within your hand.

Now, attempt to shape this energy around your entire body. You might want to start with a bubble or a cube surrounding you. Feel this shape surrounding and protecting you. Visualise negative and unwanted energies being held back by it.

You can also layer shields, so if you are working with a particularly malicious energy you might want to have multiple shapes surrounding you, all within each other. You can also work with deities or spirits to ask them to shield you too.

Shielding Incantation

When I am shielding, I recite a spell as well as using visualisation techniques.

The shield of protection, I carry it strong, No ill wishes or trouble shall come along, You cannot harm me, or weaken my soul, My light is my weapon, and peace is my goal.

Try it out for yourself and let me know in the comments how it went! Thank you as always for reading. Please message for requests.

💸 money magnet salve/oil💸

*NOT meant for the face. i use this on my wrists and neck, as well as anointing jewelry and accessories.

you will need:

- a green candle

- salve jar

- coconut oil (solid) as the base

-cinnamon for that quick cash and welcoming in abundance

- mint (essential oil or the herb) for wealth and abundance

- hemp (oil or leaf[don't waste your bud yall]) because it's a POWERFUL manifesting herb

-a penny for luck and wealth

carve your intentions on the green candle. meditate on it, and light the candle.

place the penny, head up, on the center of the bottom of the salve jar.

*i used a metal/tin salve container, so i was able to melt the coconut oil in the salve jar with a makeshift wax seal burner. you obviously don't have to go the route i did, as long as the ingredients blend into the coconut oil.

this is what i did:

fill the salve jar halfway with coconut oil. add the hemp, mint, and cinnamon once the oil has been melted. take the jar away from heat and let it set and solidify. let the green candle burn down.

*i say this is an oil AND/OR salve because it took a WHILE for the coconut oil to solidify again for me.

i personally use this every time i have work or when i go out. i was working an event today, and my tips amounted to almost half my pay, and when i got home my dad gave me money that basically DOUBLED my pay from work.
