How to Cast Spells, Effectively: Function, Methods of Application and Best Practices for Candles, Conjure Oils, and Other Ritual Tools

The Purpose of Conjure Oils and Magic Candles in Witchcraft and Spirit Reading (Mediumship)

In both traditional and contemporary occult work, ritual tools act as technology—deliberate interfaces that structure and anchor the practitioner’s will, intention, facilitate altered states, and mediate spirit contact. Materia magica such as plants, minerals, body fluids that are then made into oils, candles, and effigies (I’ve written a dedicated post about effigies) serve multiple functions: focusing the practitioner’s intention, marking liminal thresholds, storing energetic charge, and offering a “body” through which spirits or energetic currents can be attracted, contained, or banished. Their use is especially pronounced in witchcraft, where precise handling of energy is critical through a spell.
