3 Ways to give information to candles 🕯✨

June 17, 2022

Many people wonder “How can I make a request with a candle?” And the answer leads us to ancient knowledge: candles are objects that illuminate and energy portals capable of carrying our intentions to the universe. Through message candles, we learn to deliver information to the flame, so that it acts as a channel between our desire and the spiritual plane.

When doing this, we often need to provide more information or details about our request to create an effective ritual. Names, dates, or addresses are details that are usually included, always depending on the goal we have.

Keep reading our article on how to make message candles to discover all the key points and not overlook anything important.


3 Ways to give information to candles 🕯✨

When is it necessary to make message candles?

It is not always enough to have a general intention. There are situations where details matter, and providing that information to the candle is what opens the right path for the universe to act in our favor.

A very clear example is when we want to sell a property. In this case, the exact address of the place becomes a fundamental detail: by writing it down or giving it to the candle, we are guiding the energy to that specific space and enhancing the chances of a successful sale.

Another common case is in legal matters. If we have a summons with a date, time, and location, including that information in the ritual helps to focus the candle’s vibration on that specific moment, providing clarity, protection, and harmony in the process.

In reality, any situation in which we have concrete details (such as names, dates, locations, or figures) can benefit from this method. In this way, the candle not only receives our general intention but also the exact coordinates of what we want to manifest.

There are various ways to convey this information: from writing it directly on the wax, to accompanying the candle with a paper, or anointing it with oils that symbolically represent the request. 😉 And today we’ll show you step by step how to do it so that your rituals have even more power!


1. The classic way: engraving the candles

How to write on a candle to attract? You will only need a pointed object!

1️⃣ Prepare the space

Find a quiet place, free from interruptions. You can light incense or play soft music to raise the vibration of the environment.

2️⃣ Choose your candle

Select the right color according to what you want to attract (red for love, green for prosperity, white for clarity, etc.).

3️⃣ Take your pointed object

With a needle, pin, or any other pointed object, focus on the energy you want to transmit. This will be the channel through which you engrave your message into the wax.

4️⃣ Write on the candle

Engrave on the wax the name of the person to whom the request is directed (it can be your own or someone else's). If you wish, also add dates or keywords that reinforce the intention.

5️⃣ Direction of the writing

To attract, enhance, or request in a positive way, write from the wick to the base.

To cut, remove, or repel, write from the base to the wick.

6️⃣ Activate your intention

While engraving, strongly visualize the result you desire. Imagine the energy flowing from your hands into the candle and that each word written lights up with the force of the fire that will soon ignite it.

7️⃣ Light the candle

Place it in a safe location and light it with respect. Observe the flame for a few minutes while focusing on your desire and thank the universe for receiving your request.

2. Paper and pencil!

Este método es ideal cuando queremos entregar información concreta a la energía de la vela. Nombres, fechas, direcciones o incluso una petición completa se convierten en un puente entre nuestra intención y el universo.

1️⃣ Prepara tu espacio sagrado

Limpia y organiza la zona donde realizarás el ritual. Esto ayuda a purificar el espacio y a generar un ambiente propicio para tu petición.

2️⃣ Escribe tu mensaje

En un papel pequeño o pergamino, escribe con calma y claridad toda la información que quieras entregar a la vela: nombres, fechas, direcciones o la petición completa. Hazlo con letra legible y cargada de intención.

3️⃣ Coloca el papel

Ubica el papel debajo del velón o a un lado. Si lo colocas debajo, asegúrate de que sea un trozo pequeño y que no sobresalga demasiado de los bordes para evitar accidentes con el fuego.

4️⃣ Diferencia el tipo de petición

Si tu intención es eliminar, cortar o terminar algo, deberás quemar el papel con la llama de la vela durante el ritual, visualizando cómo esa energía se consume y se libera.

Si tu intención es atraer o potenciar algo positivo, guarda el papel en un lugar seguro y mantenlo contigo hasta que tu petición se cumpla. Este acto simboliza que la energía sigue trabajando a tu favor.

5️⃣ Enciende la vela

Coloca el velón sobre el papel o junto a él y enciéndelo con respeto. Pronuncia en voz alta o mentalmente tu petición. La llama actuará como mensajera entre tu escrito y el universo.

6️⃣ Cierre del ritual

Al terminar, agradece a la vela y al plano espiritual por recibir tu mensaje. Si guardaste el papel, mantenlo contigo como un amuleto hasta que tu deseo se manifieste.

3. What if I do the ritual for someone else?

When making requests for another person, it is important to know how to direct that intention so that the energies flow correctly. All of our candles include a basic prayer, but this can be adapted to your needs. Therefore, if the request is for someone else, the prayer should be made in the third person; that is, instead of “I,” use “he” or “she.”

In addition to adapting the prayer, photographs of the person can be very helpful. This is especially useful in love or health rituals, where the intention is focused on a specific individual.

Regarding the ritual itself, you can follow the previous instructions, whether you are carving the candle or writing a message on paper, always adapting the steps to the person for whom you are performing the request.

How long should a candle burn for the ritual to work?

Ideally, the candle should burn completely, as its flame symbolizes the energetic process that accompanies your request. However, if it is a very large candle, you can extinguish it and relight it at another time, as long as you do so with respect and maintain the same intention. What matters is not the exact duration, but the consistency and energy you put into the ritual.

What does it mean when the candle flame flickers a lot during a ritual?

The flickering of the flame is an energetic language. It can indicate that there is a strong spiritual presence responding to your request or that your message is encountering certain resistances. If the flickering is constant but the candle remains steady, it is usually interpreted as a sign of movement and the opening of paths. If the flame goes out, it may be a warning that the request needs to be reconsidered or reinforced.

Can multiple message candles be combined in the same ritual?

Yes, you can use multiple candles in the same ritual as long as their intentions are compatible. For example, a green candle to attract prosperity and a white one to purify the path will work well together. What you should avoid is mixing candles with contradictory messages, such as one for attraction and another for banishment on the same altar, as the energy could become dispersed.

The magic of message candles ✨

When we create message candles, we turn them into true portals of energy, capable of guiding our intentions toward the universe with precision and strength. Through a name, a date, an address, or even a written desire, we can focus the vibration of the flame to attract what we truly need in our lives.

Now that you know different ways to work with them, all that’s left is to put it into practice. Remember that the key lies in intention, the clarity of the message, and the faith with which you light each candle.

At Las Velas de Mariano you will find the perfect allies for your rituals, filled with prayer and symbolism, ready to accompany you in your processes of attraction, protection, or transformation. Connect with your inner energy and trust in the power of light: the universe always listens when you speak to it through fire 🔥
