A brief intro:
The power of the wish is the most basic form of magick. It is also
one of the most dangerous. A wish that is ill-defined or that
comes from ego, hate, revenge, etc.. can and will come back to
haunt you (to say the least). Wishing should be done only after
careful consideration of all possible reasons and then only if it
is a true need, not a want or desire. To wish for the love of
someone specific is a disaster (and very bad karma) in the making
since you are interfering with that person's free will and the
threads of Fate. A wish for money should be a true need and only
made after a careful consideration of expenses vs. income since
the Powers That Be don't consider materialism a necessity.
However, even after all of this has been said, a wish can be a
very positive, fulfilling experience. Just keep in mind that you
must define the wish completely but don't ask for specific people
or places or things (i.e. I wish to run my own candle shop NOT I
wish to own and run the candle shop at 333 Main Street). Put
yourself in the place of The Powers That Be, be polite not
demanding. Also be sure to define what your reasons are, within
what period of time this is to take place in, and what you wish
the outcome to be. To be entirely safe, check with the Fates
before making your wish. At the very least, run it past four
simple rules: Truth, Trust, Love and Giving. If it violates one,
reconsider the wish. Enough said, let us begin.....
Supplies needed:
-
1 seven knob candle (not seven day) which can
be purchased at your local pagan / new age store
<<you can substitute 7 mini candles which are sold at
nearly every pagan/new age store>>
-
3 sticks of incense, preferably protection or
prosperity
-
Bath salts - enough for three baths,
preferably protection or prosperity flavored salts.
-
paper & pen
-
dandelion - fresh or dried (optional,
folklore states that dandelion is used in promoting effective
communication).
-
A dish to place the candle on (they drip
heavily), at least dinner plate size
This spell needs to take place over eight
consecutive days so plan to set aside the time. This work is best
prior to the full moon with the last day falling on the full moon
unless the dark moon is appropriate to your wish. Before beginning
the spell itself, (this begins day one) write down your wish on a
piece of loose leaf paper, including all reasons, etc.... Fold it
in half, place it under your pillow before bed. Read it the
following day, be sure that it says everything it should and that
you are still comfortable with the wish. When you are ready, begin
the spell.
This is now day two. Start by drawing a warm
bath, add to it 1/3 of the package of bath salts. During your
bath, focus on the wish, the reasons, etc.. Visualize it coming
true. Do not soak for more than 15 minutes. After your bath, wear
something comfortable. Set up an area that can remain undisturbed
for the next seven days. Place once stick of incense in the burner
behind the candle. Be sure the candle is on the plate. Take the
paper you have written the wish on and place it under your candle
plate. Next take some of the dandelion (which aids in
communication with higher beings) and sprinkle it around the
candle but on the plate. Relax yourself, take several deep
breaths, and focus on your wish in its entirety. Light the candle
letting only one knob burn.
Repeat everyday until the candle is
extinguished, excluding the bath and sprinkling of dandelion.
Repeat the bath on day 5 and on the last day (day eight). When the
last knob is almost burned, burn the paper (s) containing the wish
in a separate dish or bowl. Place the rest of the dandelion in the
bowl when the ashes have cooled. Take them outside and blow them
away while visualizing the wish going towards the heavens. After
the candle has been extinguished bury or burn (in a fire large
enough to destroy) the remaining wax.
