these are difficult to find. With this candle, one color is
burned each day for seven days.
Some novenas are performed as nine-day rituals and
use the ten- or fifteen-hour votive candles instead of one
large glass-enclosed candle. The novena is begun in the
last quarter of the moon's waning phase and ends nine
days later in the first quarter of the waxing moon. Nine
of the votive candles are burned at a time, with
replacement candles being lit from the old candle when
one is close to burning out. To perform this ritual
correctly, you must never let any of the candles go out
before a replacement is lit.
SEVEN-KNOB CANDLES Made of seven thick knobs, one on top
of the other, these candles are meant to have one knob
burned per day while you concentrate on your desire.
The most common colors are black for banishing or
releasing spells sent against you; red for setting energy
into motion or removing obstacles to finding love; and
green for money, manifesting, or favorable court action.
Occasionally, you can find other colors of seven-knob
candles: brown for delaying a court case or giving you
your day in court; yellow to remove bad luck; purple for
defeating psychic attack or eliminating minor health
problems; blue to stop quarreling, confusion, or
depression; orange for removing obstacles to a successful
business or career; white to grant you a secret wish.
Because it takes seven days to finish the ritual, it can be
extremely powerful.
SKULL CANDLES Made in the shape of a skull, these candles
are used not for hexing, but for healing serious, deadly,
or terminal diseases. They are always burned with an
astral candle.
