Okay, so I stumbled upon this “witchcraft scriptures” thing and thought, “Why not?” I’m always up for trying something new, especially if it involves a bit of mystery. I mean, who isn’t intrigued by a little bit of the mystical, right?
First, I gathered my materials. The guide was a mess. so after some digging, I found it a decent one. I settled with a simple white candle, some dried lavender (because it smells amazing and is supposed to be good for calming), and a piece of paper and a pen. Pretty basic stuff, I think. I think I made a good choice.
I cleared a space on my desk – seriously, it was a disaster zone before – and laid everything out. Then, I lit the candle. The flickering light instantly made the room feel a bit more… special. I took a few deep breaths, trying to get into a more relaxed, focused mindset. This part was harder than I expected, my mind kept wandering to my to-do list!
Next, I took the lavender and crumbled it a bit in my fingers, releasing that lovely, calming scent. I sprinkled some around the candle, just because it felt like the right thing to do. There wasn’t really any instruction for this part, so I was just winging it.
Then came the writing part. I grabbed the pen and paper and… stared at it for a good five minutes. What was I even supposed to write? I decided to keep it simple and wrote down a single intention: “Clarity.” I figured I could use a bit more of that in my life!
I folded the paper carefully and held it over the candle flame. Not close enough to burn it, just close enough to feel the heat. I visualized my intention, clarity, washing over me like a wave. It was kind of cheesy, but I went with it.
Finally, I placed the folded paper beside the candle and just let the candle burn down completely. I stayed there, just watching the flame, letting my mind wander. It was surprisingly relaxing, just sitting in the quiet, dimly lit room.
Did it Work?
Honestly? I don’t know. I didn’t suddenly have all the answers to the universe. But I did feel calmer, more centered. Maybe it was the lavender, maybe it was the quiet time, maybe it was the placebo effect. Whatever it was, I felt… better. And that’s good enough for me. I might even try it again sometime, maybe with a different intention. Who knows what might happen?
