Materials Needed
- A yellow or orange candle (for confidence and courage)
- A small piece of paper and a pen
- Cinnamon or clove (for personal power and strength)
- A mirror
- A small pouch or jar (optional, for carrying the energy with you)
- Preparation
- Cleanse your space by burning sage, palo santo, or incense.
- Ground yourself through a few deep breaths or a brief meditation.
Spell Steps
Set Your Intention
Sit quietly and focus on your intention to boost your self-confidence. Visualize yourself glowing with inner power and radiating self-assurance.
Carve the Candle
Use the pen or a small tool to carve your initials or a symbol that represents confidence (like a sun or star) into the candle.
Write an Affirmation
On the piece of paper, write a positive affirmation, such as:
“I am confident, strong, and capable. My inner light shines brightly.”
Anoint the Candle
Rub a little cinnamon or clove onto the candle, charging it with your energy and intention.
Light the Candle
Place the candle in front of the mirror. As you light it, say: “With this flame, I ignite my inner strength. I am fearless, radiant, and true to myself.”
Look into the Mirror
While gazing into your reflection, repeat your affirmation three times. Look yourself in the eye and believe the words you’re saying.
Burn the Paper
Hold the piece of paper with your affirmation above the candle flame and let it burn (safely). Visualize any self-doubt melting away with the ash.
Seal the Energy
If desired, collect the ash and place it in a pouch or jar with some cinnamon or clove. Carry it with you as a talisman of confidence.
Close the Spell
Extinguish the candle, saying: “The energy is set, my confidence grows. So it is, and so it shall be.”
Post-Spell Practice
Each time you feel self-doubt creeping in, repeat your affirmation while holding your talisman or simply looking in the mirror. This will reinforce the energy of the spell and build your confidence over time.
Blessed be!
