The Covet Candle spell is a traditional ritual that helps focus your intention and energy on manifesting a specific desire, especially when you wish to obtain something that belongs to someone else. This spell uses the symbolism of fire, color, and visualization to direct your will.
To begin, gather these items:
- One dark green candle, which represents growth, material gain, and ambition.
- A small amount of hot red pepper flakes, symbolizing intensity and desire.
- Two images that represent the object you want. These can be photos from magazines or newspapers, or simple hand-drawn pictures. The images do not need to be exact; they are meant to symbolize your goal.
- A fire-proof dish or bowl to safely burn materials.
Start by placing the two images together, with the front sides facing each other. Sprinkle a small amount of red pepper flakes between them. Fold the images in half, then fold them again, so the pepper flakes are sealed inside. This step is meant to bind your intention and strengthen your desire.
Now, focus your mind on your goal. You may say the following words, either out loud or silently:
“I covet and seek,
To take from the meek.
Bring this to me,
I wish it to be.”
Repeat this incantation as many times as you feel is right, letting the rhythm help you concentrate.
Next, picture the person who currently owns the object, along with the object itself. Place the folded paper bundle in the fire-proof dish. Light the bundle with a match or lighter, and let it burn safely. As the paper burns, use the flame to light the dark green candle. This action is meant to move your desire into the physical world.
While the candle is burning, repeat the incantation again. Keep your focus on the object and the person who has it. Allow yourself to feel the emotions and sensations of achieving your goal. When you feel the ritual is finished, you can put out the candle if needed and dispose of the ashes respectfully.
It is important to approach this spell with care and ethical thought. Consider your reasons and the possible effects of your actions. Witchcraft is a way to empower yourself, but it also comes with responsibility. Use your knowledge thoughtfully and respect the free will of others.
