Candle Magick | Making Candles | Candle Dvination

• Paraffin wax, or scraps of left over candles.
  
• Crayons (for color), or candle dye.
  
• Candle figure.
  
• A strand of candle wick.
  
• Large bowl heat-proof.
  
• Small pot heat-proof.
  
• Wick tabs.
  
• Funnel. (optional, but makes it easier)
  
• Herbs, stones, and oils. (optional)
  
• Wooden spoon. (to stir the wax with)
  
• Wax paper or foil. (to catch wax drippings)
  

1. Place wax inside small pot.
   
   
2. Place small pot in large bowl.
   
   
3. Fill pot with heat water until you reach half way up the outside of the can.
   You can do this also on a fire but it's more dangerous that way.
   After wax and color is completely melted, turn off the heat. Remember to stir your wax every so often.
   
   
4. Cut off a length of wick and attach it at the bottom of your candle figure with a wick tab.
   
   
5. Wrap the top of the wick around a pencil and support it on top of the container.
   Now is the time to add your herbs, stones, or oils if you desire.
   Be sure to place wax paper or foil under your work area before pouring your candles. Wax is not fun to scrape off of surfaces.
   
6. Pour the wax into the candle figure.
   
   
7. After you have poured as many candles as you want, let them sit for 4-6 hours before attempting to remove them from the candle figure. (If you are having trouble getting the candles out of the figures, they will settle easier by putting them into the freezer for approx. half an hour.
   
   
8. After removing the candles from the containers, wipe away the oily substance and let them sit for at least another 3-4 hours to dry.
   
   If you have left over wax in your coffee can, allow it to cool, then put a lid on it and store it away until next time.
   
   
9. Now you may proceed with your Candle Magick
