Happy new year! Here is a simple candle spell to get your year off to a bright start.

You will need one white taper candle and ribbons or strings in an assortment of colors. Each piece should be long enough to wrap around the candle a few times. On the morning of January 1st, assign a goal to each ribbon or string. The goals should align with the colors based on personal preference. Some suggestions are pink for love, blue for healing, or black for protection. Choose colors that make sense to you and write them down if need be. Wrap each ribbon or string around the candle one at a time while stating its purpose aloud. For example, for the pink string, say:
This year will bring me friendship.

When you're done, your candle will be wrapped in colors. Place this wrapped candle in a window or outdoors where it can absorb the hopeful energy of the first day of the year. Retrieve it after dark and remove the strings. Each day throughout January, safely light the candle for a little while to release its magic until it is gone.
