Parchments
Many of those who practise candle magic write out what they wish for on a piece of parchment, using a quill or fountain pen to do so. Some people use special inks for this purpose, available from specialist shops or mail order companies. (Like everything else, the
parchment and inks have to be consecrated.)
The parchment is usually then anointed with any essential oil that has been used to anoint the candles and is placed under the offertory candle. After the ritual has been completed, the parchment is lit with the flame from the offertory candle and dropped into a fireproof dish (some practitioners use their cauldrons for this purpose) and allowed to burn out. The ashes are then buried along with the stumps of the
candles used during the ritual.
