A spell for springtime wishes

Here is a beautiful but simple candle spell that is perfect to cast at a full moon or in early spring - although you can do it at any time if you want to. It will help your wishes and dreams come true in the year to come.

You can work the magic alone, with your partner, or with a group of friends. All you need is a floating candle for each person and a bowl of water - or a cauldron.

Everyone taking part should scratch their wish on the bottom of a candle, light it and float it on the water. When all the candles are lit, say:
Fire and water
Kindle and flow
Bring life to our dreams
And let them grow.
Afterwards, enjoy watching the candles burn down - perhaps while enjoying some wine and good food.

Candlemas or Imbolc, on February 1 or 2, celebrating the start of spring, is a good time to cast this spell, or do it at any full moon. There are more candle spells in my book Pagan Portals Candle Magic, which you can view on Amazon.
