CSJ Candle Practice 9 Steps to Clarity

🔥 Carol’s Real Candle Practice: Old School Clarity

1. Identify the Need

Start by naming what’s unclear, unsettled, or in need of momentum.

2. Choose the Candle Color

Pick based on traditional color associations or personal resonance — no mystic drama, just clarity of purpose.

3. Dress the Candle

Use olive oil, applied from base to tip. No fancy oils unless you want to — this is about intention, not aesthetic.

4. Carve the Intention

Use a pin, knife, or tool to carve the actual need or phrase directly into the wax. Short and clear.

5. Write a 4-Line Rhyme

On brown paper (old-school bag paper preferred), write a rhyme to match the goal — four lines only. The rhyme matters; rhythm anchors the message in your body.

6. Setup

Place the brown paper under the candle. It becomes part of the work, not a separate element.

7. Burn the Candle Daily

You burn it for X amount of days — sometimes one long burn, sometimes short daily burns depending on the need.

8. Burn the Paper Near the End

When the candle is nearly finished, you burn the brown paper — completing the cycle and signaling release.

9. Ashes to the Wind

Dispose of the ashes outside in the wind — motion finishes the message.

Real candle work doesn't sparkle - steadies

No theatrics. No shortcuts. Just a clear desire and a steady flame .

If you are looking for magic start with intention.

If you are looking for change light the candle.
