Candle Magic Doesn't Have to Be OverwhelmingIf you've never done a candle spell before, candle magic can seem a bit daunting. Even if you've done a few candle spells, you might feel bogged down with the details. I hear from panicky spell casters all the time who are overwhelmed by too many moving parts in their spells. They are unsure if they have to start on a certain day or use a certain candle or say certain words to get the result that they want. While timings, candle style, and incantations can all add power to a spell, if they are causing "analysis paralysis" then all that anxiety around your spell is actually working against you.

Several years ago, while practicing Yoga, I learned a Nidra (which can be a type of guided meditation—a conscious relaxation practice, sometimes called Yogic Sleep, designed for ultimate rest, health, and well-being.)

You need to have a stated intention in mind. Yes, you can use this to find a job, or discover hidden treasures of the city. I encourage anyone working this spell for the first time to set the intention of opening the road to strong social bonds with people and/or spiritual beings of integrity. These connections—those with beings of honor, kindness, and accountability—are part of aligning with the most positive aspects of your city spirit that you can.
