Well the realisation was simple. I wanted all of this and more. And not only would I want my lover and friend to have all of these qualities, but this time I decided to give of myself as well. Once I prepared myself, I visited a psychic I had known for many years. This insightful Latvian woman was one from whom I have purchased many intuitive readings. She listened intently to what I had to say, gave me the guidance and then gave me a Love Spell and a Candle set made up especially for me. When I got home I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to unwrap my parcel.
Wrapped inside a pretty black fringed scarf covered in red roses, was a white candle that represented my new lover and another candle that represented me; this scented purple candle had my name carved into it. The set came with a Love Spell, written by my friend, on parchment, together with some scented oils and incense.
I read the instructions very carefully. I was warned to do my spell on the New Moon - the time with the most energy for new beginnings - but the instructions also included the injunction that I could perform the Candle Magick anytime I wanted to.
Now me (being informed as to the benefits of Astrology) knew that the New Moon was the best time, bit I also knew that I didn’t want to wait for the New Moon. So I performed the spell, that very same day.
I waited for a quiet time. I readied my Altar then anointed both candles, lit the incense, all the while intoning my love ideals; what I hoped for in my new relationship, asking that I be united with someone warm kind and generous, who would love me for the person I am, faults and all and be faithful to me. I asked for someone who was prepared and eager to accept my love.
Looks, money, age, interests and personal circumstances were of no issue. I purely asked that my new lover be the single individual in our vast universe with whom I was designed to be. Character was the most important thing to me, along with the realistic knowledge that this special person would want my love.
I then lit the anointed candles and the incense and said the Love Spell over them while I anointed my Altar with the oils. The fundamental nature of the spell was a sincere request for the Universe to have appreciation for my need for a new and devoted lover, a proclamation that love is a human need, and an affirmation that I was at liberty to have love within our Universe. In addition I appealed that the appropriate person be conveyed to me, irrespective of race, colour, and creed or from where, within this universe.
While the candles burned I reflected on all the times I had let enjoyable relationships dissolve, because I was powerless to pull together the needs of the people with whom I was involved. I weighed up the times I had allowed my frantic need for nearness to someone, anyone, that steered me into disparaging relationships.
I watched as the candles blazed, and my candle burned quickly. I felt as I watched it melt away that it was lamenting. My heart was weeping along with it, remembering all the overlooked chances and all the unhappiness I had sanctioned in my years of searching for love. As I observed I felt as though I was being purified.
The candle that bore my name glowed, smoldered and was finally extinguished in a puff of black smoke. It was over. Finally I realised that I had brought closure to what went before. The core of my inner aura was free of pain, it was time for me to make myself willing to believe that a fresh liaison was about to enter my life. I knew that it was pointless to commence a new partnership while still holding on to the memories of ex lovers and failed love affairs.
"...It was time for me to make myself willing to believe that a fresh liaison was about to enter my life."
Time passed by very quickly and I thought my Spell had forsaken me, but I was determined not to dismiss the new empowerment that I felt within me. All the pessimistic recollections, the regretful outlook I had in correlation with my past I rejected and made up my mind to in fact meet new people. I wouldn’t sit at hope waiting for the phone to ring. I would actually be present at social events, even those that I normally wouldn’t have attended.
Invigorated, I sensed a new energy within myself and actively established to create my own social circle. Many of the people I met I instantly knew were not appropriate for me or my lifestyle, there were some who were just as incompatible as those I had known long-ago. The new me, the one I loved and cared for now, was unwavering. Then the day came, approximately six weeks following my Candle Love Spell. I met that special important person.
My age, just new in a family law practise, not rich, but a life full of promise. With this person came a lovely face, kind eyes and a generous smile and a love of animals and children and the universe. The moment we met we liked each other. Not love, nor lust, just like.
Meeting for a sandwich and walk in the park was our first date. We had café lunches occasionally, began to go out in groups and finally held hands. It was seven months later that we began to go out on a regular basis and finally after two years moved in together.
We had the initial problems that most couples do. The loss of single life, discussions about important issues like money, family and sex. We learned about one another’s family of origin. We fought, but fought fairly. We learned how to compromise and dealt with our differences. Most of all we were forgiving and trusted each other.
Everyday is different, everyday we have new challenges to face. We survive because of our honesty, respect, commitment and sense of humour. We make sure that we spend quiet times together and find new ways of having fun together. Best of all my new partner is kind, loving and adores animals and we are both devoted to making our relationship work. I now wonder, could this wonderful relationship be due to my Candle Magick Love Spell or the self-assurance I felt when I tried it? No matter what it is, I still believe that Magick can be a very strong tool when used for the good of ourselves and others.
