Praise the Gods

Candle Burning Service:
blessings – gratitude – offerings

By Lady Hannah

Allow me to light a candle on your behalf

This is a requested service that I’m now offering our clients, both old and new. If you have been with us throughout the decades you know that I have been behind the scenes since the beginning, mainly providing administration-style services to our clients. This year my partner Anthony and I are acting as High Priestess and High Priest in the moon rituals, so you will see us and our names a little more regularly.

It has become clear that many people don’t have the opportunity to light candles for reasons. Maybe you don’t have the space in your home to light candles, or to praise the gods as you desire. Sometimes people don’t have privacy, and other people live with others who would not approve of their magical or occult beliefs. Maybe you have pets at home where leaving candles lit could be a fire hazard. Or maybe you just don’t have the time. Not having the time doesn’t mean that you’re not thinking about honouring your God or Goddess. It may just mean that you are hustling long hours, and don’t have the means to set aside a specific space and light a candle as you desire.

NOTE – For many of the Gods, you don’t need to physically light candles in order to honour them. But some gods and Demons require physical offerings. If you’re honouring a specific deity, you will understand what they require.

As an empathic individual, I understand that it can be a challenge not to offer candles or to light a candle when you really feel like you need a candle to be lit for a specific reason.

What I’m offering here is very different to what Savannah and the others are offering with their candle magick. Please read the information below as to what I am offering with my candle-burning service…….

There are many reasons why he would like me to light a candle on your behalf. Here are some of the purposes for my service:

• Gratitude – Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible.  By expressing gratitude we train our minds to look for the good things in life.
• Blessings – for you or for another individual
• Healing – I will light a candle and ask for spiritual blessings to help with your healing or the healing of another individual
• Ritual offerings – you may not have an opportunity to provide an offering at your own home for many reasons. any Pagan rituals include an offering in veneration of the Gods, Goddesses, and Ancestors invoked during the ritual.  Offerings are also made in gratitude for the outcomes of the Act of Power in rituals.  In lieu of objects associated with the specific Deities involved, candles are often used as these offerings. Allow me to light a candle on behalf of your ritual or spell.

Ancestor Veneration

Ancestors can be of our bloodline or our spiritual family. By lighting a Candle in honour of our Ancestors, we are recognizing the importance of the Ancestors in our everyday lives.

To be honest, I think this type of candle should be lit by the person who is honouring their ancestors.

Affirmations

These are positive statements that can help you to challenge and overcome self-sabotaging your goals and negative thoughts. When you repeat them often and believe in them, you can start to make positive changes.  Affirmations rewire your brain towards positive thoughts. If I light a candle towards your affirmation, I will repeat your car affirmation each day to the flame.

God & Goddess Offerings

When you offer something to a Deity, you are showing them loyalty, gratitude, and love. Always thank them and offer them something for their help.  Light a Candle to show your Patron(s) your respect.

When I’m doing this type of magic for a specific deity, I will also address the candle in a fragrance that will be pleasing to that deity. But every day Atif has a slightly different preference, and I try and order that request, just as you would, if you had a special guest in your living room, and you knew they like a specific beverage. You’re going to make that guest feel honoured and comfortable in your home, and that’s exactly what I’m trying to achieve with  praise work.

More about candle magic and candle colour purposes……

Candle Magic is one of the oldest forms of magic used by humankind. The energies of a candle amplify our magic and prayers. Magick and spells involve power…spiritual power.  If you want to cast a spell, you are saying to the Universe that you are willing to plug into the cosmic power in all things and let the energy flow through you.

Basic colour associations for candles used in candle magic are listed below:

• Black for divination, protection, banishing
• White for cleansing, healing, and protection.  White can also be used in lieu of any other colour.
• Grey for vision, absorbing negativity
• Brown for stability, integrity, concentration, grounding
• Blue for truth, tranquillity, psychic ability
• Green for growth, healing, abundance, luck
• Orange for courage, pride, ambition, success
• Red for sexual love, lust, passion, strength
• Pink for compassion, harmony, love, affection
• Purple for psychic ability, insight, self-esteem
• Yellow for joy, intelligence, creativity
• Gold for vitality, strength, success, male
• Silver for intuition, balance, receptivity, female

What candle will I use?

Mostly I like to use either taper or chime candles. Once I light a candle, I say the blessing for that specific candle and allow it to burn while I meditate on a daily basis. Then I snuff out the candle. I return to the candle the following day and do the same until the candle is complete.

When I’m doing this service for a client I will take a photo of the candle just after I light it for the first time and send that photo to you. I do not provide any other information or divination about the candle unless something truly dramatic happens.
