There are reasons for that. You can also use essential oils and herbs that match your magic, such as rose for love, eucalyptus for healing and protection, mugwort for psychic connection, etc. When you stop to write your request or reconfirm your target’s name, you can create a strong bond between the candle and the person build it’s supposed to represent. However, if the client didn’t have a lot of money and the work really needed to be done, the spiritualist split the candle into nine sections for nine days.
One popular method is to roll the oiled candle directly onto the herbs and powder until it is completely covered.
