For this challenge, I used a green candle for my intention. I dressed it with a simple dressing: olive oil and sea salt.
I started in the middle of the candle and went up, then I went back to the middle and went down with the oil.
I didn’t add any herbs but I drew 2 of the same rune. It stands for joyful/joyous outcome. It’ll be in the photo.
I did all this on my moon 
altar.
I love all the entry’s so far! It’s always interesting to see what everyone comes up with.
Blessed be
Candle dressing! Super!
I always work like this…
I dress them with chamomile oil for luck and roll them in dried bay leaves and cinnamon for money and ginger for quick results
Here a great Greek Magician shows the right way
it is the top of its kind and is now located in England
@christina4 This is beautiful as is your altar. I love the purity of the olive oil and sea salt. 
@Jessica_Zee your candles are beautiful!
@christina4 your candle looks like joy!
Good Evening!
This is my very first challenge-entry! Please know I am a baby witch, so it is very basic. I purchased a beautiful oil blend from my local witchy store, then I ground some rosemary and sage. I wanted to carve my candle but didn’t know how to make my intentions known. Almost immediately a post with a tarot appeared with the alder on it! The alder is significant for me, and perfectly aligned with my intentions.
Thanks so much to @SilverBear for the very inspiring video -it really helped me feel good about what I was doing

Ps. Please ignore my fire safe unused ashtray - it was an inexpensive way to not burn my house down 
This is beautiful -and clever , the dividing into days makes so much sense. You are inspiring @Ostara
Beautiful job @ArcticCharm lovely ritual 
I love this candle so much @Ostara I’ve seen you roll beeswax candles a few times so I’m thinking of trying it myself and buying some supplies.
@christina4 Your alter and your candle are beautiful! I can only imagine the energy of those crystals!!!
Im not comfortable with putting oil and herbs on a candle and then lighting it. Ive had some near mishaps in past with herbs and flames. Is there another way to participate innthis challenge… ? Like is there another way to annoint a candle etc that can do without having to put oil n herbs on the candle going to light. ?
@Phoenix_Fire Yes, I annoiinted mine by carving a bind rune into the candle then lighting it. You can carve a sigil or just something that means something to you. No herbs, no oil. Blessed be
@ArcticCharm It’s beautiful my lovely
@Phoenix_Fire absolutely there is! You absolutely do not have to do anything that you are not comfortable doing. The challenges are open to however you want to explore them 
So you could learn about anointing candles or dressing candles for a particular belief system or culture, how it may or may not be something you would practice, different ways to go about it, substitutions for doing so, safety concerns with dressing candles or considerations when doing so, alternative ways to incorporate them in practice.
Even if you don’t physically dress a candle 
you can explore anything to do with the practice & share what you learned about it. Whether it pertains to you or someone else or a group.
You could do meditation 
or the Interactive Virtual Altar or maybe try 
The Inner Temple for Casting Spells without Tools. It’s completely open to however you approach it in a way that’s comfortable for yourself & your practice.
Alright, so I haven’t quite anointed my candle yet, but I have an idea of what I want to do. I created a candle specifically for my business and brand over the last Full Moon in Capricorn. I didn’t add any herbs or oils to it because it’s in one of those glass containers. Those already tend to burn pretty hot and I end up with soot on the side of the glass.
Anyway, I was thinking about creating a dill-infused oil to add to my candle. I would have to do it with the poker method, though. I’m not sure if that’s an actual name or not 
but that’s what comes to my mind. That involves getting a metal poker or candle carver hot and poking holes around the top of the candle. Then, you pour your anointing oil into the holes so that when the wax melts, the oil is there already. This can be dangerous though, so a little oil goes a long way. Or I can even anoint the outside of the jar with the oil, too.
Here are a few things I learned about using Dill in witchcraft.
Dill can be used in protection magick.
Dill is a good herb to use for wealth - carrying dill around in your wallet can invite in abundance.
Dill can stimulate lust and desire.
Dill is connected to the element of Fire.
With all of these things in mind, I think Dill is a great herbal ally to work with when it comes to business and branding. I may even add Dill to my prosperity oil and altar workings every Thursday! 
Weekly Witchy Challenge for Amethyst:
Okay, when I first saw about dressing candles, I thought about little Barbie dresses on candles for a minute. LOL! That was many moons ago, though. But I was tempted if I had a Barbie dress to do it for a hot minute. Just because I’m wacky that way.
Today I dressed a green candle for money with an Art of the Root oil blend called Goddess of Abundance. Then I rolled it in mint and sweet basil, hoping to bring a check I’m waiting for in quickly.
It made my dripless candle drip, which is odd. I guess it burns the herbs and melts the wax. It had a really unusual flame going on there at the end. Hopefully, that means it’s working well.
Everyone has such great entries for this challenge! I’m not sure if I will respond to everyone directly, but just know that I have read everyone’s entries and seen some amazing posts! 
Thank you ArcticCharm. It didn’t work out like I thought it would. The candle literally burned faster than a tealight. 
I love your ashtray. That’s a great idea!
I grinded up yarrow, Rosemary and rose petals. I rubbed some mugwort oil I made from another challenge on the candle rolled it in the herbs 
then I placed the candle into a orange and topped it with so mote it be
I love that!
