Candle Magic

[Aidron]

I've discussed teaching a course with a few people, who told me to go for it, but first I want to see how much of an interest there is in this since my life is very chaotic and in a horrible upheaval at the moment (though the class would help take my mind off of it), so I'll be forced to take time from some things in order to do it. If there's a strong interest in it, I just may (unless things get more hectic). I recently read on one of the threads that course material requirements will be changing, needing to be taken strictly from the teacher, which is where I had planned to teach directly from-my mind and my own personal grimoire. However, this won't be a traditional candle course like most books on the topic today as I find most of that material to be dive-into-the-deep-end-before-you-can-swim nonsense and really not very practical.

Keep in mind, however, I have no lesson plans or syllabus worked out yet, so even if I do it may take a few weeks for me to get organized enough to begin the class. Please keep that time in mind when voting.

Feel free to ask any questions, but this is only in the very early stages of being considered and I may not yet have an answer for you.

[Miss Edith]

[SylverStar]

Sounds good. Since most of my spells end up boiling down to candle magick and I make up as I go. I could use some direction.

[Deranged Hermit]

I've been wanting to learn about candle magic. I know absolutely nothing, so if it's going to start from the basics I'd be interested. I wouldn't be able to participate until September.

[AterCorax]

Hmm, sounds interesting. Although, I'm not sure if there's anything new to be taught about candle magic. Do you have some original techniques that could seperate your teaching from all the instructions in various magic books?

A good book (being the only book specific to candle magic I have) is The Candle Magick Workbook by Kala and Ketz Pajeon, in my opinion. It covers a lot of stuff that's not exactly candle magic, but ties nicely with it.

All in all, the class sounds like an interesting idea, if there's something new we could learn.

Merry Meet
I would be interested in this calss,but what exactly would it involve because candles are pretty basic in my eyes,but I suppose it will be on focusing and things like smudging.
Anyways I would love to join your class, just let us know when you are ready.
Blessed be

[blueiris]

I would definitely take a class on candle magic. I am utterly obsessed with candles.

Is there something 'new' for any of you to learn? Beats me as I have no idea what you all know, which would be required for me to be able to inform you if there are new ideas, approaches, and beliefs that I will be teaching for you to learn. Telling me everything any of you know would be lengthy and exhausting, so before anyone tries let's not venture there just yet.

As for there not being anything new to learn in regards to candle magic, there is always something new to learn about anything, for we can never truly know something wholely and absolutely.

It will begin with the basics as I view them, from what candle magic encompasses in terms of elemental energies, to color correspondences as I view and use them, to methods of lightning and putting out candles, to hopefully toward the end more advanced techniques such as inscribing candles, methods of annointing (beyond the typical one you usually read about, I'm sure you are all familiar with it), and so forth... but this is all very much theoretical at the moment since I have no concrete plans as of yet.

[RubyRose]

Yeah I'd be interested.

[AterCorax]

I guess that's true.

If you decide on doing a class, I'll be there. :)

[Flaire]

:T I already told you I'd support you if you went through with this.
And if you do, I'll call the wedding back on.:D

[Faery-Wings]

I am in (if there is actually an "in" :p )

I have confidnece in you Raven, that you will most definitely teach "beyond the basics." I do a lot of candle spells myself, but I have this feeling you will share many things that I don't know or hadn't thought about.

Go for it!

[IvyWitch]

Sounds good. Since most of my spells end up boiling down to candle magick and I make up as I go. I could use some direction.

I definately second that!

[FairyMoon]

Hello, Please forgive me if I am putting this in the wrong place, because I found this through a link on this site, but I would love to join your class if you do indeed decide to teach one. I love candles period! and all of my magic will probably have a candle in it :D so I think I'm a pretty good candidate for a student! (self promotion, can you tell?) Take care Raven Greywind.

[Faeawyn]

If you're offering, I think I'll take it as well. I could use a refresher just to see if I can pick up some new stuff, or rekindle things I've forgotten :hehehe:

[Eclectic Celt]

So when is the class starting?
BB

[calria]

I'd be an absolute beginner, really, with candle magic, but I'd really love to learn!

[arienh]

I'd be interested in this as well. I hope you decide to go ahead with it :)

[cara_pagan_sexy]

Deffinatley...I'd love it!

[Dragonstarr]

I'm interested too, I hope it didnt start already...
Blessings

[Jenne]

[Hellenic_Witch]

[DixieWitch]

Count me in! I'd love to take one also!!

[The High Queen of Faerie]

[Shatril]

Always ready for more input. Candle magic interests me greatly.

[Storm Moon]

I'd love to see one also. It sounds really interesting :)

[dragonspirit 69]

I'm interested !! I'm always looking for new ideas with my candle spells

[babygrl35]

I would be really interested in that class. Can you let me know when it starts?

[SilverNightShade]

i'd love to take a class. Please let me know when so i can sign up

[Fairywolf]

:T I already told you I'd support you if you went through with this.
And if you do, I'll call the wedding back on.:D
When he is done with that one he needs to high tail it over here to be my flower girl ;)

Raven my dear you know I love ya!! I would be deilghted to take a class on candle magic.

[Aislin Amaris]

As a solitary I would honestly LOVE a "class" like this. It would help out immensly.

[soilsigh aingeal]

I would like it

[ThenewRaine]

please do it...candle magick is a very simple but powerful art...TEACH ME...im willing to learn

[Aidron]

A little bit of an update on the class:

Not going to happen any time soon. My life has simply reached utter chaos and I can barely get online for more than a few minutes every couple of days, let alone begin an online course. My apologies, and trust me, I'd rather teach the class than be having to deal with this mess.

[SylverStar]

Understandable Raven. Hopefully everything will start to rise from the ash and you can start anew(metaphorically speaking). Blessings.

[soilsigh aingeal]

Understandable. I hope things calm down for you

[Autumn Clair]

I love loves candles I collect them in all shapes, colors and size I've been working them in around the house using feng shui but candle magic is good too, I can always learn more, count me in if you decide to start the class.

[WickedBttrfly]

I would love to be in that class! I'm very interested in candle magic.

[Sommerfugl]

That's cool Raven, I hope things work out for you and you're able to get things sorted soon :)

[CuriousJadeEyes]

I should like to take a candle magic class if one was started. Perhaps one day I would even be able to use the knowledge I gain, once I overcome my fear of burning down the house.

[argento_occhi]

hope everything sorts itself out, raven. if the class ever becomes a reality, i'd be really interested to learn candle magick properly, rather than the impromptu way i'm doing it which is not bad in itself. i just wanna learn more. I love candles.

bright blessings,
argent

[Hærfest Leah]

I'd also be interested, just hope I have the time between school and the new baby coming in Nov. :)

[Rowan MoonDragon]

count me in!

[tygherrayn]

Yes, I would be much interested in a Candle Magic class.

[Enozgirl]

I would as well, teach :) I agree, I'd like to learn some more "formal" candle magick, rather than the slap-it-together (but hey, it works!) stuff I do now ;)

[tangerine_smile]

candle magic is all i know, and i'd like to get to know it better. so, sign me up!

[misty]

I would love a candle magic class!

[KimberSly]

Sounds like great fun!

[ShadwDancr]

Yes, yes yes!!! Count me in! :mmm:

[Hellenic_Witch]

So, this thread has been up awhile, any info on whether or not a class will start?

[RavensEye]

I thinking that the person who started this thread is waiting till the poll is over on the 29th.

[Faeawyn]

She is not going to be able to start this class right now. She's had some stuff come up in RL thats keeping her busy.

[RavensEye]

Thanks Faeawyn for letting us know:D

[Aidron]

Things are smoothing out for me a bit right now, but I am looking into starting my own website (which will be a vast and major undertaking). There is a 98% probability that I will get it, and while it will be a personal website, my craft is such a large part of my life that I plan on teaching through it, whether through essays, tutorials, and publishing my own grimoire online (information only, no spells, rituals, or recipes).

But that may be a month or two before it's up, I'm unsure. So, no class here I'm afraid, but if anyone wishes to teach one in my place as I know many of you have expressed an interest in collaborating or taking it on until I can dedicate myself to it, by all means feel free.

Oh and Faewyn, I'm a 'he' by the way. ;)

[AterCorax]

I knew you were a 'he'! (I was starting to get confused!)

Hmm, me thinks it's for the better (at least for me), since I have lots of stuff to re-do in visualization and other such things. :)

-Ater

[Faeawyn]

Hmmm....well, I suppose since there's quite a bit of interest....I could teach it :whatgives:

[Joshua]

[Faeawyn]

[Joshua]

:bangyourh
That's JerryBoolyFooly to you.

[RavensEye]

Faewyn I have some background uisng candle magick to if you need the help :D

[Lost_Sole]

I am just getting started, and i know candles are going to be big for me so I hope i can get in the class if you do one.

[Nixie]

I don't know much on candle magic, but I have been wanting to learn more on the subject. So if you do decide to teach a class on candle magic, I would definately love to take part in it :)

[Romani Vixen]

After some deliberation, I've taken up the candle to teach this class.

I just need to finnish crossing the 't's and dotting the 'i's and the signups and sylabus should be up shortly.

[Joshua]

Excellent! I'll keep an eye out.

[Dove]

If someone's going to be teaching a class involving "Candle Magic"
I'd love to participate if that's ok.

I'll keep watching this space for developments???
