Do you super charge your candles when you do spell work? Do you empower their energy with anointing oils and herbs? I had a few friends asking me how I get my herbs to stick to my candlesā€¦so I made a little video demonstrating how I do it and how I work with the oils and herbs. I originally made this post for my private witchy Facebook group, but thought Iā€™d share here too with my online peeps. Enjoyā€¦ [![](https://img.youtube.com/vi/Dp7AhtF2NVY/maxresdefault.jpg "Dressing Candles") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dp7AhtF2NVY) - ---

Wonderful! šŸ‘ I totally agree on your view of casting spells on others (with permission only!)ā€¦ and the video was very useful! Are you still subscribed to that Witches Box? Whatā€™s your opinion of it? ---

I meanā€¦I understand not asking permission to do a Freezer spellā€¦lol but as I said exceptions to every rule, but as general practice I ask permission and I donā€™t normally run around doing freezer spells haha. I do have the witch box. I love it! Every month itā€™s something different but itā€™s themedā€¦so all the things they pack in it work together. Like February was Valentines month so everything in the box related to self-love. There was a pink candle, a herbal bath salt, etcā€¦I love getting prizes so this is right up my ally to get something witchy every month! And itā€™s fairly cheap considering what I get inside. Had I bought all the stuff from last months box separately, it would have cost me double what I paid, maybe even slightly more. ---

@Francisco @SilverBear I understand about people talking about casting spells for others and asking permission firstā€¦ for a long time I believed that to be true,.,until Raven Grimassi brought up a point, ā€œIF your friend is walking with you and you see they are about to be stabbed, would you jump to protect or warn them, or would you ask permission first?ā€ ā€œIF you saw a germ on your friend and it was a killer type, would you ask them permission to take it off first, or would you get it off immediately?ā€ The way around this is some simple words and I now do this,ā€œThis is done for all parties involved and only the greater good shall prevail.ā€ Your thoughts? ---

I get Sacred Space Crate, Sugar Muses deluxe and Midnight Muses, and Mindful Souls as well as Tinaā€™s Enchanted moon, I love subscription boxes, have had several more, but cancelled them because they were not what I thought really worth it. I so look forward to these every month and the days go slow until the next one, ---

I think the two examples are not the same. If my friend was about to get stabbed, I would help them without asking permission. There is no spirituality attached to that. But because a spell involves spiritual things, I feel like I would be pushing my beliefs onto them. I also think the spell will work better if both parties are privy to it and accepting of it. Example: My mother-in-law always says, ā€œIā€™ll pray for youā€ I know she means well, but it actually makes me mad LOL. I literally feel my entire body tense up. She believes in GODā€¦I do not. I WANT to sayā€¦ā€œNO thank you!ā€ I donā€™t want that prayer on meā€¦I feel like itā€™s so forced on me. I would never just walk up to someone and start chanting. I canā€™t explain it lolā€¦in my head it makes sense. Hope I made sense to you. haha. ---

And PS ā€“ LOL @roxanne I think there are exceptions to every ruleā€¦so say, if I were to do a freezer spellā€¦obviously I do not ask permission for that. ā€œHi, sir, excuse meā€¦I am going to place your attitude in a freezer, is that OK?ā€ HAHA! I guess when someone says, ā€œIā€™ll pray for youā€ I get PTSD from my forced Catholic days. ---

I get confused at times about a spell FOR them or a spell ON them,I donā€™t do spells on people at all, but will do spells for them. Lets say you just heard so and so has cancer, immediately upon hearing that, most of us say, ā€œoh no!ā€ I hope they get better soon! " That to me is putting it out there already, so I would do a spell also for them to get better. if it is for the greater good, I wonā€™t do a spell that would be like change a persons personality, etc. A fine line in all indeed, ---

I understand what you mean about people saying I will pray for you, To me God can be anything, they just attached a different name to it, it still goes out into the universe and the universe does not judge, I donā€™t like the ones where they say they will pray for me to ā€œsee the lightā€ lol I think all those prayers worked, I do see the light,and see right through some things, ---

My MIL always tries to pray for meā€¦and lectures me about my false godsā€¦LOL. I learn to pick my battles, but a lot of times I just sit back and cringe silently lol. ---

I do spells FOR people if they ask me tooā€¦and like the one recently for my friend who lost his granddaughter. I asked permission to do a healing spell. If he said no, I would not have done it. ---

I cringe when the JW come to the door, but I found a way to keep them gone, tell them you were one once and/or studied and are not interested. By their laws they are not able to speak to you again,havenā€™t had one in over a year, I know what you mean about cringing, Just cos I know a lot of the history and background, A lot of things are perception, what one calls bad the other may call good, I learned a long time ago, that if someone cusses ya out, that is a curse in reality, I just say, you better take that back,a return to sender ha ha, Eh let em pray for you about false gods,I just think to myself,wake up, lol a spell without the accoutrements? Perhaps, words need to be carefully said and thoughts are words too, I will do spells for people too. and a lot of times I will find someone suffering, about something, and just say to them, "may you find peace and comfort, " I also know that to win the lottery may not be in someones best interest, so, I just say, may it be as it needs to be, Words and thoughts are a strange thing huh? ---

Interesting exchange! I agree that I wouldnā€™t cast a spell on/for someone unless given permission. I would, however, give them something thatā€™s magickally charged and then itā€™s up to them to accept it or not. Thatā€™s a way to ā€œfly under the radarā€. > [@roxanne](#): > > may not be in someones best interest, so, I just say, may it be as it needs to be, But I also agree with this, we never know what is someoneā€™s (or even our) best interest. Things can change and what seems like a blessing ends up being a curse in the long termā€¦ ---

Silverware bear, Once upon a time I did go to church but then people would ask me can I pray for you like I didnā€™t even ask and I felt really šŸ˜’ annoyed bye there prayers! I know that they had good intentions but it was insulting to have me prayed upon a whole group of people as if I was sick! I just thought I would share cause I felt badly! I asked my husband if I could do a cleansing spell and he said okay but heā€™s not really interested in learning my new spiritual life with me! Itā€™s okay I just wish we could be that way again! In time maybe it will grow, but I donā€™t want to force my belief on him. Jeannie Blessed be [Next page](https://forum.spells8.com/t/dressing-your-candles/1510.md?page=2)
