How to make a Money candle

How to Make A Money Candle
From the book "Spell Crafts" by Scott Cunningham & David Harrington

Items Needed:

2 to 4 pounds of paraffin
Thin candle wicking
Green candle dye (or a green crayon)
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
A small bowl
Patchouly essential oil
A large pot
A clean coffee can
Baking soda (for fire safety)
1 wooden spoon
Wax paper

1. To speed the melting process, grate or chop the paraffin into small
pieces before melting. Fill the large pot about 1/3 full of water. Place on
high heat until boiling. Place the paraffin in the coffee can, and set the
can into the pot.

Turn the heat down to medium. Watch the paraffin as it's melting. Paraffin
easily bursts into flames over high heat (this is exactly why it's used to
make candles). If flames appear, place a lid over the can or drench the area
with baking soda to snuff out the fire. If you keep the heat low you should
have no problems.

2. While the paraffin is melting, place the two spices into the bowl. Mix
them together, empowering them as you visualize money manifesting in your
life. Infuse the herbs with your goal.

3. Check the paraffin. For best results, you should have at least 6 inches
of melted paraffin. If there's less, add more paraffin. (If the paraffin has
melted, but has begun to harden, the heat is too low. Turn it up a bit.)

Add a few chunks of green candle dye to the paraffin and mix with the wooden
spoon. Alternately, remove the paper wrappings from a green crayon, break it
into pieces, and add this to the paraffin.

The dye will melt. Stir until the paraffin is evenly colored. The finished,
dried candles will be a shade or two lighter than the color of the melted
paraffin. More dye may be necessary to create the desired dark green
shade.

4. Once the paraffin has been tinted, sprinkle the spices onto the paraffin
with your projective hand. Dust off your fingers over the pot and stir the
herbs into the paraffin with the wooden spoon. Stir clockwise and visualize.

Add eight to sixteen drops patchouly essential oil to the paraffin and again
stir with the wooden spoon.

Smell the paraffin. It should be heavily scented. If not, add more patchouli oil.

5. Begin dipping. Hold a length of cotton wicking between your thumb and
forefinger. Dunk it into the paraffin. It will probably just float on the
surface the first few times you do this, for the wick lacks enough weight to
plunge it to the bottom of the can. After dipping, remove it and hold it in
the air for a moment or two until the paraffin has set, then dip again.

Dip again, lifting the wicking completely from the melted paraffin, allow
the paraffin to set, and re-dip. Repeat as needed. The longer you wait
between dippings, allowing the paraffin to harden, the faster the candle
will build up. If you simply dunk and dunk and dunk, the hot paraffin will
melt each proceeding coat and you'll end up with a soggy piece of wick.

With proper dipping, the candle will soon form. Its bottom will grow into an
inverted cone-shape from the paraffin that drips down the taper's sides as
it cools. This is natural; don't worry about it.

6. When the candle has achieved the proper width, hang it dry in a spot
where it won't be touched for several minutes.

Test the candle after 20 or so minutes. The paraffin should have set but the
taper should still be warm. Check it periodically to be sure that it hasn't
completely hardened before the next step.

7. Turn off the heat under the paraffin. Place the wax paper on a counter or
table. Lay the candle on the paper and gently, with an easy rocking motion
roll the candle back and fourth on the wax paper. This straightens the taper
and reduces irregularities on its surface.

8. When the candle is fairly straight, cut off the inverted cone at the
bottom of the candle with a sharp knife. Dip the taper two more times into
the melted paraffin and hang to dry until hard. You've just made a money
candle. (To save time and produce more tapers, make two, three, or four at a
time. Hang each to dry as you dip the next.)

9. To use your Money Spell Candle, choose a time when you'll be alone. Smell
the rich, prosperous scent and visualize money manifesting in your life.

Hold the candle tightly between your palms. Send energy into it, saying
something like the following words:

I charge you by Jupiter,
I charge you by the Earth,
I charge you by the Sun, Moon, and Stars:
Bring money to me, Prosperity.
Money to me, Prosperity.
Money to me, Prosperity.

Set the candle in a holder. Light it. Sit or stand before it, watching the
flame transform the wax into a liquid. Visualize the candle releasing the
energies that you've placed within it. Sense it sending out the power to
bring your need for money into manifestation.

Let the candle burn down to its end (if in a safe location). Or allow it to
burn for 4, 8, or 16 minutes daily until your need manifests.
