7 Day Vigil Candle

Hoodoo candle magic for difficult or ongoing situations.

You will need a large candle and seven pins. Stick the pins into the candle, dividing the candle into seven equal parts. Write your wish on a piece of paper and then turn the paper at a 90 degree angle and write your name across your wish seven times. Place the paper under the candle. You can dress the candle with the appropriate oil if you like or place appropriate herbs at the base of the candle. Burn it for seven nights, pinching (not blowing) it out each time a pin falls. Save the pins and when the last pin falls, stick the pins into the paper in the form of two "X" patterns surrounding a double armed cross.Bury the paper and any leftover wax under your doorstep if your intention is to draw something or someone to you. Throw the paper and wax away at a crossroads, in running water or bury them in the graveyard if your intention is to get rid of something or someone.
