Candle Magic for Beginners Workshop – Part 1

Working with flames to focus and sublimate intentions is one of the first human magical practices, with evidence that fire for magic predated the use of fire for cooking.  For centuries, candles have been used as magical tools, developing into a refined system for projecting and magnifying different intentions and energies into reality.

In this workshop, cover the fundamentals of candle magic, including selecting the proper candle, the steps to properly prepare a candle for spell work, and how to work with the candle in your practice. You will prepare, fix, and dress 3 chime candles according to your needs and intentions to use in your own workings. All candles and candle dressings will be provided.

Instructor-Brother Moses is a cultural anthropologist, folklorist, spiritual minister and professional reader and conjure worker based in Colorado.
He has been steeped in his family’s old world folk magic traditions since childhood, and has spent decades studying the religion, spirituality, and magical practices of humans across time and civilizations while staying grounded in contemporary urban spiritual practice.
Working primarily in folk magical traditions–which he terms “the magic of pragmatism”– Brother Moses approaches spiritual work from first principles and core metaphysics, examining magical techniques and technologies to distill essential frameworks and parameters for their operation. By comparing methods, paradigms, and approaches across cultures, he discovers often surprising unities and similarities in magical understanding and application across the world and the ages.
Concerned with plants and bones, spirits and folk saints, Psalms and prayers, lamps and candles, amulets and talismans, oils and incense, dolls, jars, bags, dirt, and the other magical tools of everyday life, his conjure is a concentrated blend of the proven traditions and practices of the ancestors who depended on them, and the spiritual and material sciences they observed and derived.
