The big book of candle magic is a comprehensive guide to the ancient practice of using candles to manifest intentions, achieve goals, and enhance spiritual growth. This book is a valuable resource for both beginners and experienced practitioners of candle magic. The book begins with an introduction to the history and symbolism of candles in various spiritual and religious traditions. It explores the significance of different colors, shapes, and scents of candles and how they can impact the energy and intention of a spell or ritual. The next section of the book delves into the art of candle dressing and carving. It provides step-by-step instructions on how to cleanse and prepare candles for magical use, as well as how to inscribe symbols, sigils, or words onto candles to enhance their energetic properties.
Clearly, I am poking some fun at Zabivaka (and, um, also at the fact that our national leaders are so pusillanimous and power-hungry that they are happy to let Russia call the shots here in America for less money than Larry Ellison spends on a single dessert), but he really is a cute little wolf. I especially like his gleeful eyes and the wild disheveled (yet naturalistic) look of the fur near his paws. I hope we have some more wolf-mascots soon: he has the fearsome appearance one would expect from a Siberian wolf, yet he is genuinely likable and cuddly too.

2018 World Cup Mascot
The 2018 World Cup continues. We have come, at last, to the semi-final matches and one burning question is on everybody’s mind: “does this thing even have a mascot?” The answer, as it turns out is a resounding “yes”. Exercising uncommon self-restraint, the Russians managed to find a mascot who is not a bear! They didn’t sugarcoat the formidable nature of their vast cold, forested realm though– the mascot of the 2018 Russian Worldcup is a ravening wolf—a wolf wearing special goggles to keep the blood out of his eyes.
The wolf’s name is Zabivaka which means “He who scores goals” or possible “He who accomplishes goals [by means of cunning social media manipulation].” The wolf was the apparently legitimate winner of an apparently legitimate election, and since we are all busy ascertaining what exactly has gone wrong in real elections around the world, we will accept that as a fact (although this wolf beat out a cat and cosmonaut tiger, which hardly seems like the result one would expect from an internet competition).

Astute observers will note that this post contains almost nothing about actual World Cup soccer (or “football” as it is known in the rest of the world). This is as it should be, since Americans know almost nothing of the sport other than that it takes place with a spherical ball and a great deal of running about. A friend of mine speculates that soccer is slow hockey, but, when we tried to watch a match our attention wondered off before we found out whether this is true (although it snapped back for the thrilling zero-zero finale). Despite this handicap in understanding the game: my predictions from the last post did quite well. Of the 4 teams in the quarterfinals with red uniforms, 3 made it to the semi-finals. Since one of the 4 matches involved two teams with red uniforms pitted against each other, the “reds” had to lose one (likewise there was a match with no red uniforms, which explains how the French “bleus” got the semi-final). I guess I will go on record as saying the winner will wind up being Belgium, since a Belgian friend helped me program my magical online oracle. If this doesn’t sound right to you, you can go to the magical omniscient fish we made and ask it yourself. One of these days we have to see if anybody else has a flounder mascot.

Reviews for "Candle Magic and the Elements: Aligning with Earth, Air, Fire, and Water"
1. Mary Johnson - 2 stars
I was really excited when I purchased "The big book of candle magix" as I am very much into candle magic. However, I was left disappointed after reading it. The book lacked depth and did not provide enough information on the different types of candles and their meanings. The spells and rituals included were also quite basic and did not offer anything new or insightful. Overall, I found the content to be shallow and not worth the price.
2. David Thompson - 1 star
I regret buying "The big book of candle magix". The book claims to offer a comprehensive guide to candle magic, but it falls short in many ways. The illustrations were poorly done and did not enhance the content. Additionally, the writing style was amateurish and at times confusing. The lack of clear instructions made it difficult for me to follow along with the rituals and spells. I would not recommend this book to anyone serious about practicing candle magic.
3. Sarah Collins - 3 stars
While "The big book of candle magix" had some useful information and interesting spells, overall, I found it to be a bit underwhelming. The author covered the basics of candle magic adequately, but there was a lack of in-depth explanations and exploration of advanced techniques. I was hoping for more guidance on how to personalize spells and adapt them to different situations, but the book fell short in that aspect. It's an okay resource for beginners, but experienced practitioners may not find much value in it.

I was excited to dive into "The big book of candle magix", but unfortunately, it didn't live up to my expectations. The content felt repetitive at times, with the same information being presented multiple times across different chapters. The lack of a clear structure made it difficult to follow the book's progression and left me feeling confused. Furthermore, the spells and rituals included lacked creativity and seemed like generic variations of well-known practices. Overall, I found the book to be unoriginal and lacking in substance.
