Dressing (anointing) and charging candles are
perhaps candle magic in its simplest form.
Dressing a candle performs two functions. By
anointing it with oil you ensure that it burns
safely and you also have the opportunity to
infuse it with the required vibration for your
working. Charging a candle ensures you fix the
intent of your magical working and also
dedicates the candle to the appropriate
purpose.
