Remember the first time you blew out the candles on your birthday cake and made a wish? That was your first experience of candle magic.

Candle magic is a simple but effective magical technique, involving a basic minimum of equipment and experience. In this complete manual are instructions for making, dressing and anointing candles and for using them in a variety of rituals-of atttraction, banishment, peace and contemplation, and of the Mystical Novena.
