Illuminating the Unknown: An Introduction to Candle Magic for Newcomers

Candle magic is a form of practical magic that has been practiced for centuries. It involves the use of candles as a tool to focus intention and manifest desires. Many people are drawn to candle magic due to its simplicity and accessibility, making it a great practice for newcomers to the world of magic. The main idea of candle magic is that candles have their own energy and symbolism that can be harnessed to bring about change. Different colors and scents of candles can be used to enhance specific intentions. For example, a red candle can be used for love and passion, while a green candle can be used for abundance and prosperity.

Below is pictures of my B.A.M. seeds sprouting, planting, and off to the races. Flowering starts in 7-9 weeks (i checked repeatedly and am assured this is correct) so apparently this plant grows super fast, which thus far have proven so. Germination was 24 hours, the next morning the taller of the 2 popped up, the next morning the shorter popped up, it is now morning 3.

Black African Magic

Long story short over the course of my 30s I went from being super active my whole life, in great shape, to feeling like I inhaled toxic fumes, and feel sick with severe body aches 24/7.

I discovered medical cannabis a few years ago and it changed my life. After a few years I started thinking about growing.

The focus of this journal will be on two Black African Magic sativas. I have never grown a thing in my life so this is all new territory for me. In my wee grow tent I also have a Purple Diesel Plant and OG Kush plant that both came from bags seeds. These two are about 30 days old, survived the great flood of 2022 (yeah I over watered like a ding dong), and have managed to continue growing.

If I can get the B.A.M. plants to grow my hope is to clone them, and always have B.AM. growing.

Things I know I will be studying as we move forward.

Continued reading on watering

Pruning/Topping (can these be used for clones?)

Temperature control (B.A.M. needs 10 degrees difference during flowering between night and day to turn “black”

Humidity control (humidifier for a humidor?)

Attached is pictures of days 1-4.

Off to a good start @CPCannabis
Your topping/pruning question - topping is just the tip so no, I wouldn't try to root it unless you're going to chop 4" off
The lower side branches however are perfect for clones
Interesting strain, never heard of Black African Magic

Thank you very much. Definitely look forward to seeing this grow.

I was originally wanting a Sativa Landrace, I was thinking Panama Red, found this, fit the bill in every way, 29-30% THC, carypholene, myrcene, all the right stuff.

Man, been a wild ride for sure, I was an athlete as a child, actually signed a record deal with Warner Entertainment right out of high school, toured for 17 years. When I was younger I always had this weird “almost sick feeling”, Doctors always said “Allergies”. I had so much energy I could always push through. Touring was super active, always traveling, little sleep, super high energy shows.

Well, in my 40s now, my dad has 2 autoimmune issues, a neurological issues, and arthritis…So guessing what the doctors cant find in a me is one of those.

After the extreme beating on my body I am pretty shot. People look at me now, I appear in decent shape, look healthy, no one would ever imagine I have multiple days a week where I cant walk to the mail box.

Oh…Gumby and Pokie are the best

Don’t know if it has fallen off yet, but you need to help that little one shed that seed husk. Gently Try and release the nodes

Sounds great. Wasnt sure if helping would make the plant weak or if it would simply help it get growing. I will inspect and circle back

ya the little seed only has so much energy,, you can see she is bolting and will soon run out of energy unless photosynthesis takes place.. usually when a seed sprouts ( in the ground) as it pulls it self up out of the soil,, friction will pull the husk off.. but when germinated it sometimes has trouble and needs a little hand

Alright, followed the advice, got some wee tweezers, popped the seeds off, one already has leaves!

Wee spray for the B.A.M. little guys. Today is day 5, definitely growing faster then PD & OG, however, I was over watering those. I am assured this plant grows wicked fast so…

Soil still has moisture for OG & PD, no water. At this point I should be doing Wet/Dry cycles for PD and OG, correct?

I have a vent fan letting air out of the tent, I use the flow of air out to control the temp, if I open the vent all the way temp drops, reduce and temp rises. I am getting 79.4 with lights on, 72 with lights off. I need 10 degrees difference between night and day simulation so my hope is reduce down and get 82 day 72 night. Does anyone think 82 would be too hot?

I am thinking of putting in a digital humidifier, however, wouldn't the humidity in the air just exit the roof vent? How do you all successfully add moisture content to the air in your tent without losing it?

Thanks again everyone for the help!

Alright, I imagine as I get rolling two updates in a day wont be normal. Between am and now I feel like PD (top right) started drooping like it needed water, soil was dry to my second knuckle. OG (top left) was just starting to droop.

Gave them a drink, wee spritz to the BAM babes.

New to the forum here.

I discovered medical cannabis a few years ago and it changed my life. I live in an illegal state so I drive to a legal state for cannabis. After a few years of that I started thinking about growing.

Rather than get a subscription pill, medical professionals highly recommend that you treat your sleep deficiency with a natural solution. Marijuana has been proven to be an effective long-term solution to a myriad of sleep problems . However, not all strains of marijuana are the same, and some work better to help with sleep than others.

Once the intention is set, choose a candle that aligns with your desired outcome. It is important to cleanse and consecrate the candle before use, as this helps to remove any negative energies and charge it with your intention. When lighting the candle, it is important to focus on your intention and visualize the desired outcome. Some people find it helpful to say a mantra or affirmation as they light the candle. While the candle is burning, it is important to keep the intention in mind and take any necessary actions to support the manifestation of your desires. Candle magic is a practice that can be customized to fit your personal beliefs and preferences. Some people like to incorporate other tools, such as crystals or herbs, into their candle magic practice. Others may prefer to incorporate rituals or ceremonies into their candle magic practice. The key is to find what feels right for you and your personal connection to the energy of the candles. In conclusion, candle magic is a simple and accessible form of practical magic that can be practiced by newcomers. By harnessing the energy and symbolism of candles, one can focus intention and manifest desires. The main idea of candle magic is setting a clear intention, choosing the right candle, and staying focused on the desired outcome. With practice and experimentation, candle magic can become a powerful tool for personal growth and manifestation..

Reviews for "The Spiritual Significance of Candles in Magic: An Overview for Beginners"

1. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with "Introduction to candle magic for newcomers". The book lacked depth and didn't offer much practical information or guidance. It felt more like a vague overview than a comprehensive guide. I was hoping for more in-depth explanations and examples of candle magic practices, but it fell short. Overall, it left me wanting more and searching for a better resource on the subject.

2. John - 3/5 stars - While "Introduction to candle magic for newcomers" had some interesting information, I found it to be lacking in clarity. The concepts and instructions were often confusing and left me feeling frustrated. I also wish there were more illustrations or diagrams to help visualize the techniques described. It's an okay starting point for someone completely new to candle magic, but I wouldn't recommend it to someone looking for a more in-depth understanding of the practice.

3. Emily - 2/5 stars - As a newcomer to candle magic, I had high hopes for this book, but unfortunately, I was left feeling underwhelmed. The content was repetitive, and the book failed to deliver on its promise of offering practical tips and techniques. I was expecting a step-by-step guide, but instead, it felt more like a rambling introduction with no clear direction. I don't feel like I learned much from this book and would not recommend it to others looking for a comprehensive understanding of candle magic.
