The Big Little Book of Magick

Saints

Certain Christian saints are called upon for specific help.

This usually takes the form of prayers and an offering of

a candle when the petition is made. The Vatican Council

of the Catholic Church addressed this devotion to the

saints in their Constitution on the Church, No. 90,

saying that the saints were helpful friends in heaven.

These devotions usually consist of saying prayers,

lighting candles, and offering flowers or incense.
