questions for a happiness spell, can you help me out?!

[licorice whip]

im planning a spell to do for happiness for the new school year. however, i havent done a spell in ages, and im having a hard time finding the information i need. in all the books i have, the list of herbs that correspond with happiness are very few, and they dont even have candle colours, etc. that are associated with it either.

do any of you know any herbs or candle colours that are associated with happiness?

i would like to include the use of candles and an herbal sachet. how long do you think i should carry the sachet with me for? should i repeat the spell for a period of time?

i havent done a spell for ages, so any help would be great! thanks!

Candle Colours (http://www.mysticwicks.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1077&highlight=candle+colors)

It doesn't show up in the list of similar threads. As to how long you should carry a sachet or charm, I find that things magically lose themselves or break when I no longer need them, so I just go along with it :)

for joy, I use a yellow candle, lemon and orange scents....very uplifting.....

I agree that yellow would be a good choice. Representing knowledge and harmony

borage is a good happiness herb. cinnamon can be stimulating and therefore uplifting, as can citrus fruits.
yellow and orange would both be good colour choice, for vitality.
including things that remind you of happy times, or things that make you happy in your ritual wouldnt be a bad idea. maybe play some happy music while youre doing your spell.
carrying the satchet for nine days would be appropiate, i think. renwing the spell would only be necessery if you began to feel down.
good luck with your happoiness spell. :)

first I'd do a meditation , you see you're self walking in a old forest along a path , till you come to an ancient well , there concentrate on all you're old problems that cause unhappiness . see them take form as a dark ball and throw it in to the well .

now write down all the things that would make you unhappy burn it then write down all the things that would make you happy . put that away

candle spell : ground out negativity and then hold a candle in you're hands a yellow one see you're self happy smiling full of life and positive energy . then burn the candle
