Spheres of influence
“When you want something, cast a spell for something; it does fill your own sphere. You send out fishing lines of energy to see if anyone responds and can help manifest this energy. It’s not like you took out a billboard on the side of Route 66; you are not recruiting for Amway. The energy of your spell is looking for a response and a way to manifest so it will test what and who you know first. Any intention you create needs the connection or influence of another body to manifest.
When you light a candle for love, you need another person to respond, or there is a lot of self loving going on in your sphere. Actually, you probably need a few other spheres of influence to introduce you to that new person.”
Page 14, Coventry Magic with Candles Herbs and Oils By Jacki Smith
When you start to look at (Or if you are a Virgo, you start to chart) all of your relationships you see how they influence you and through that influence can change the course of your life. Imagine if you will, you are a bubble and there are no pins or sharp edges anywhere around you. As a bubble, you are part of a bubble collective and there are bubble all around you. The bubbles that are closest to you put the most pressure on your surface area. If one of those bubbles changes color you reflect that color or even absorb it.

a-manifesting. Depending on the spell, I light the candle before I energize and release the spell, sometimes after. ~ Page 150 Coventry Magic with Candles, Oils and Herbs by Jacki Smith
“How do I charge my candle” is a question I frequently get and although the technique is ever variable, the outcome is always the same; “with your intent”. In Coventry Magic I talk about the types of magic and how they work to creating and empowering your intent. Each technique speaks to a different part of your psyche and spiritual connection to the divine. I tend to pick the technique that best speaks to my block around the situation; for instance if I need to let go of control and just feel the intent I go for wild magic or earth magic. If I need to create a spiritual type of muscle memory I use intentional magic and speak it over and over again. If I need to create structure I will use ritual magic and if I am looking for divine assistance (basically needing help getting out of my own way) I use sympathetic or earth magic. When you charge your candle with your intent you can make it as complicated or as simple as you want; I have to admit, 70% of the time I hold the candle in my hands, think about what I need the energy for and visualize the need and the fulfillment of the need and let all of that flow through my hands and into the candle. I know when the candle is full of my intent because the image of the goal starts to fade and my eyes start to hurt from squeezing them shut tight. Once the candle is filled with my intent I thank it in advance for working! Why not, it works in social settings, it can work in magic. Keep it magic and keep it lit!

You can
feel the intensity of your spell as you release it. Allow your hands to touch
or hover over your candle, letting the energy flow into it until it can take no
more! Place your hands on the floor or wall and continue to release your
leftover spell energy until you are empty of it. Now light your candle and get
your spell
