:dressed_candle: Weekly Witchy CHALLENGE - Anointing Candles

@MeganB Fabulous, I think this is great. I’ve learnt something new how to add oil to the candle. May try it, though I’ve never made my own candle before from scratch :sparkling_heart:
@Amethyst Don’t knock Barbie, I still love those animations I used to watch with my daughter when she was small. :joy: Your candle is gorgeous :sparkling_heart:
@crystal59 I love that your candle is in an orange. Very pretty. :sparkling_heart:

Dripless candles?! I need some of those. I am a very messy witch and the more I try to be neat the messier I get. Lol! I put sand in a little cauldron to hold incense so I wouldn’t get ashes everywhere, and I spilled the cauldron. So now I have sand all over the rug. I’m just going to pretend I live at the beach!

I love your candle! May it bring you the abundance that you want and need.

That is great information on the dill. Right now the dill in my garden is going to seed. I don’t seem to have much luck with growing it. If I plant it in the house my cat eats it.

I love your candle and I hope you do wonderful in your business. What did you use to draw on the glass?

So far I have only dressed my candles twice, I am still collecting some oils that I don’t have or substituting ones that I do have. When I did my Abundance jar ritual with SG we had to annoint our candle I forgot what we used though. I also did a prosperity spell where I had to annoint the candle. I am still trying to get used to this because it is so messy, lol.

I chose to anoint a yellow candle for Joy.

Water is the medium I used on the candle, as there is way too much to burn on and near my altar.

I carved the rune Wunjo into the candle on 2 sides for Joy

I sprinkled Rose petals and Oregano on the sand around the candle for Joy

I put 5 drops Joy and 3 drops Rose essential oils in the sand around the candle for Joy

Smudged my Altar with Sage and lit my candle. Meditated on all the things that bring me Joy and hoped that Joy would spread out to all.

May we all feel joy, today and bring it into our lives more often.

For the benefit of All

Oh, I didn’t make this candle at all :sweat_smile: I bought it like this in the jar, I just added the sigil to the outside and will add some dill or oil to the inside :blush:

It’s a paint pen! I find they work much better than sharpie, and it tends to stay on longer.

You’re welcome! My kiddo likes to use paint pens for smaller paint projects, so they’re super easy to use!

I picked up some paint pens for my daughters artwork and they are wonderful to use. I did a couple of pictures myself with them and were amazed with how good they were.

@crystal59 I was just wondering if you guys had it on that side of the water lol. I sent my significant other a text to be safe just incase they were out in this nasty weather. Sorry to hear that your power is out. I hope it is not out for too long. Looks like it is clearing up for us on the Peninsula now, sun is coming back out.

OOopsy. I’m sorry it’s all over the rug. That’s gonna be difficult to clean. Yeah, I get dripless chime candles from Amazon. Makes it difficult to read any wax leavings but better to clean up with!

Thanks for the good vibes!

Yeah, but I can just imagine if I put up a picture of a candle in an evening gown. LOL! Thanks love. I’m glad you like my candle.
