VOODOO-WITCH OIL

3 tablespoons honey

3 teaspoons powdered bat’s skull (optional)

13 drops blood (human or animal)

6 drops honeysuckle oil

3 drops patchouly oil

¼ cup sunflower oil

with oil of cloves if the candle will be used for divination, exorcism or rituals involving spiritual purification; frankincense oil for love spells, consecration, healing, protection and rituals to banish evil and negativity; lavender oil for love spells; lemon oil for healing rituals and spells involving clairvoyance and prophetic dreams; mint oil for exorcism and healing rituals; musk oil for love spells, sex-magick and fertility rites; patchouly oil for love spells and invocations of elemental powers; pine oil for spells to attract money and success; rose oil for Goddess invocations and spells to increase good luck, courage and love; sandalwood oil for purification rites, healing and protection against evil influences.

The shape that the candle is fashioned in also possesses significance in candleburning magick. Black cat-shaped candles are burned in magick spells to increase luck and psychic power. White cat-shaped candles are burned to make wishes come true and to protect pregnant women. Moon-shaped candles (or candles decorated with lunar symbols) are burned to add power to moon-magick and Goddess invocations. Human image candles made in both male and female figures are used to represent the man or woman whom the power of a spell is directed at. Phallic-shaped candles are powerful when used in fertility rites and sex-magick. Mummy-shaped candles, which are difficult to obtain, are burned in spells to acquire power and success and to invoke ancient Egyptian deities. Devil-shaped candles are used in both black and white magick Voodoo spells. Black skull-shaped candles are burned to cast or reverse hexes, and in rituals of separation. White skull-shaped candles are used in healing rituals and seances. Seven-Knob candles, which consist of seven balls of wax strung together with one wick, are burned as daily meditation candles or as wish-magick candles with each segment of the candle burned daily as the wish to be granted is concentrated upon.
