Candle Spell to Ruin Business
This candle spell was inspired by a curse tablet recovered from Attica. It calls upon Hermes and the Praxidikai. The spell pledges offerings in return for a successful result.
I designed it, but have not (yet) tried it. Please share your results if you do.
Step One: Petition
Write out the following spell BACKWARDS on a small sheet of paper:
I bind and restrain ___ . And you, Dear Goddesses of Vengeance, restrain them; Hermes the Restrainer, restrain ___ and the affairs of ___ and cause the entire business in which ___ is engaged to become entirely contrary and backwords for ___ . I will make offerings to you in exchange for news, Goddesses of Vengeance and Hermes the Restrainer, if ___ fairs badly.
Annoint the (small) petition with either:
- Dark Arts Oil
- Prosperity Oil + Poison Hemlock Oil
If using poison hemlock, be smart and go through a reputable seller, like Belladonna’s Botanicals. It doesn’t hurt to wear gloves!
Step Two: Roll Candle
Roll the petition up with a candlewick in a sheet of (preferably black) beeswax. Hold it in your hands and pour your energy and intent into the candles; employ visualisation and speak aloud, if you wish.
Step Three: Incantation
Light the candle and recite the incantion above.
Step Four: Visualisation
Pour more energy and intent into the candle, imaging the flame as a gateway. Envision your will working itself. Let the candle burn all the way down; keep an eye on how it burns. Rolled petition candles burn different from normal candles.
Best done on a Saturday during the late planetary hour of Saturn
Don’t forget to give the promised offerings if the spell is successful!
Rolled petition candles burn hotter and less predictably than normal candles! Roll them tight, try to keep the petition paper small, and absolutely do not leave them unattended. They can crack ceramic plates, set fire to resin, etc.
