You can also cleanse the candle by smudging it with sage or using a cleansing spray. Charging the candle can be done by holding it in your hands and visualizing your intention being infused into the candle. **Setting your intention**: Once your candle is cleansed and charged, it is time to set your intention. This can be done by focusing on your desired outcome and stating your intention out loud or silently in your mind. Be clear and specific about what you want to manifest. **Dressing the candle**: Dressing the candle involves anointing the candle with oil to further enhance its energy. You can use essential oils that correspond with your intention, such as lavender for relaxation or rosemary for protection. Rub the oil onto the candle, focusing on your intention as you do so. **Candle lighting and visualization**: Light the candle and as you do so, visualize your intention manifesting. See it clearly in your mind's eye and feel the emotions associated with it. Hold that image for as long as you can, allowing the candle's flame to act as a focal point for your energy and intention. **Allow the candle to burn**: Allow the candle to burn all the way through or extinguish it after a certain amount of time if desired. Some practitioners believe that allowing the candle to burn completely allows the spell or intention to manifest fully. Others choose to blow out the candle and relight it in future rituals. **Candle disposal**: Once the candle has burned down, it is important to dispose of it properly. Some practitioners bury the remains in their yard, while others choose to save the wax remnants for future workings. Others prefer to simply throw away the remains. Whatever method you choose, do so with gratitude and respect for the energy and intention that was put into the candle. Candle magic is a beautiful and powerful practice that can be easily incorporated into your daily life. By following these basic practices, beginners can start to harness the power of candles and manifest their desires..
