Please note there has been a date change. This class explores candle magick from the ground up, showing how to match candle shapes and colors to goals like motivation, love, luck, money, protection, or a new job. Learn how lunar and solar phases may influence results, how to bless and charge candles safely, which candle is useful to keep at home, and what practices to avoid. The session covers ways to incorporate stones, crystals, herbs, oils, and symbolic markings into your work, with discussion of tapers, votives, tealights, figure candles, jars, pillars, and knob candles. The fee is $31, or $28 with a $3 cash discount, and it includes instruction, handouts, and all supplies for a class project. Registration is by phone, and using a like or interested button does not reserve a spot. The class may be postponed if there are not enough confirmed signups.
