Annointing

Candle Annointing

Annoint your candle with the oil that you have chosen. This is done by
placing a little of the oil on your fingertips. Grasp the candle at its
midpoint with your left index finger and thumb, and use your right index
finger and thumb to stroke oil on the candle from the midpoint up to the
top of the candle. Next, grasp the candle at its midpoint with your right
index finger and thumb, and use your left index finger and thumb to stroke
oil on the candle from the midpoint down to the bottom of the candle.
Continue in this fashion until the entire candle has been annointed.

 

Charging an object with your personal energy

Visualize a pure white beam of light coming up from Mother Earth, entering
your body through the soles of your feet and another beam of white light
coming down from the Universe and entering your body through the top of your
head. Envision the energy of these beams of light flowing throughout your body
and mingling together, finally concentrating in your hands, causing them to feel
warm and to tingle. Now continue to stroke your object until you feel the energy
from your hands transfer to the object. Your object is now charged with your
personal energy and magickal intent.

Empowering

To empower a stone, place it in your left hand (your right hand, if left-handed)
and place against your "third eye" chakra (this is located on your forehead between
your eyebrows). Now concentrate strongly on what power you want the stone to have
(to help you quit smoking, to bring peace, to attract success, to draw love, etc.).
You may wish to verbalize this, such as "amethyst, I empower you with the ability
to help me quit smoking", or "aventurine, I empower you with the ability to draw
good luck to me", etc. When you feel the stone has been properly empowered, it is
ready for use.
