You can carve symbols, words, or images onto the candle that represent your desired outcome. As you light the candle, focus on your intentions and visualize them coming to fruition.

For example, if you wanted to cast a spell for love and passion, you could use a red candle. Carve the name of your desired partner onto the candle and visualize yourself in a passionate, loving relationship with them. Light the candle and let it burn down completely, releasing your intentions into the universe.
