Simple ass spell

Supplies:
-Votive holder
-2” candle in your choice of color/appropriate color/whatever
-Sand
-1 sharp object
Pour an inch or two of sand in the votive holder. Tap it against the table until it levels out or smash your fingers in there and smoosh it level, whatever you want to do, I’m not grading you.
Take your sharp object and write your intent on the candle. Don’t write something like “I am looking for a job”, because then you’re setting yourself up to be always looking for a job, right? Write something more definite. “I have a job”.
Look, write on your candle like you’re talking to Drax.
No metaphors. Be direct and very, very literal. Watch how you say things. “Will” is also a bad word to put in there. I “will” have a job. Sure, eventually, but probably not when you need it.
“I have a job”.
Done and done. Say it like it is already happening.
If you want, you can carve runes or other symbols into the candle to back up your statements. Make sure you research what you’re carving in there and you’re not just slapping random shit on there ‘cause it looks cool or because you saw it given a certain meaning in a crap book once (hint: if the book mentioned a blank rune, it is a crap book).
Trim your wick. Or don’t. I don’t care, live dangerously.
Thrust that candle down into the sand in the votive holder until it stands on its own. If you’re a smoosher, smoosh the sand around the base. If you’re not, well… wiggle it a bit until it seems like it isn’t going to throw fire on the closest flammable thing.
Restate your intent out loud or in your head, or whatever works for you, and light that sucker up. Visualize it releasing your spell to go do its job as the wax melts. Or, your problem vanishing as the wax melts.
Put it somewhere where you’re not going to light your house on fire.
Disposal? Bury the candle and the sand, if you’re able to. If you can’t, throw it away — BUT be clear about what you’re doing. You’re discarding the physical candle wax and sand, not the energy of the spell. You could do some kind of cutting ties ritual if you really wanted to get into it, I usually just repeat my intent, and that I’m cleaning up the physical but not the energy until it is done doing its work. If I buried every single candle I burned, I’d be up to my ass in candles when I walked across the yard.
WHOA ALTERNATIVES
Need a long lasting spell? Can’t light fires in your home?
Write your statement in Sharpie on an LED candle and flip that “on” switch on. Your spell work could last the duration of the battery life, or you could replace the batteries when they go down and whoa, you have one hell of a long lasting candle spell.
Don’t have sand? I bought mine at Michaels, but if for some reason you absolutely cannot have sand in your house … use basically anything that will hold the candle. Not using this isn’t going to fuck your spell up.
Don’t have a votive holder? Use a jar. A cup. Some kind of container that won’t light on fire.
No sharp objects? Fair enough. Use a pen or pencil.
Experiment, find out what works for you. This is literally like… one of the simplest ways to work a spell ever and is super flexible. The thing about magic is, there is no one way, and there is no right way. You gotta find things that work for you, and don’t balk because it is simple shit. Simple things can be just fine. You matter more than your materials.
