The Triangle
The triangle is a symbol of manifestation. It will amplify anything put into it.
Triangles to have an effect on anything inside them. In the 1970's triangle shapes were
used to preserve milk and other food without refrigeration. I do not recommend
anyone doing that as the technology is more complicated than I am explaining here
and one might get ill if they try that, but commercially it was done. I know with my
own experiments with pyramid shapes, I mummified meat in 3 days with just a
simple, basic pyramid. My grandfathers' razor blades (before the days of Bic
throwaways) lasted for one year when stored in a pyramid. As you can see the triangle
is amplifies the energy in a unique way.
The three is symbolic of multiplicity, creative power, growth and the forward
movement overcoming duality. In the Tao three is the central number of equilibrium.
The Square
The 4 cornered box shape is an important shape to any foundation. Its metaphysical
meaning has long been understood as a stabilizing force. It grounds and focuses the
physiological system. It is the root of all.
Four is the spatial configuration of order. It is wholeness and totality. It represents the
solid upon the earth plane. It is representative of the 4 elements of, fire, air, water,
earth. In Buddhist philosophy the four limbs and from it's roots come forth the four
noble emotions of, compassion, affection, love, fairness - without judgment.
The Circle
It is the ultimate is protection. Circles represent the cycle of birth and rebirth. The
circle is symbolic of all cycles in nature. Birth, growth, Transition and Rebirth. It is
seen as Number One, the Prime. The Godhead, and Source of All. It is the IS and Ever
Will BE.
Nothing can penetrate a sealed circle. Whatever is placed inside is protect from
outside and whatever is inside can not get out. The circle is unlimited. In some
cultures it symbolizes the Void of which spoke Buddha. Whatever color candle one
decides to burn in the circle it will bring exact measure. Know carefully what you ask
forth, for ye shall surely receive.
Candle Cross
This configuration affects all four elements of earth, fire, water, air. The cross brings
in the perfect balance of feminine and masculine energy. Therefore it touches all
aspects of the human form. It links to the heart as center. It is the one configuration
that will absorb any color candle used. The number four is, again, important as a key
registration to the energy field it creates. i.e.: see: The Square. Whatever you burn the
candle for , think of it as being the 'correct' balances of matter.
The Diamond
This configuration affects all four elements of earth, fire, water, air. The cross brings
in the perfect balance of feminine and masculine energy. Therefore it touches all
aspects of the human form. It links to the heart as center. It is the one configuration
that will absorb any color candle used. The number four is, again, important as a key
registration to the energy field it creates. i.e.: see: The Square. Whatever you burn the
candle for , think of it as being the 'correct' balances of matter.
5 Pointed Star
They are symbolic of high aspiration, education and spiritual practices. The pentagram
is significant in magic, witchcraft and certain practices in the older arcane studies. In
some practices it is used upside down, but that is considered by most history to be a
very negative use of the pentagram forces.
The five points are representative of the human body. Head, two out stretched arms,
the trunk of the body, two legs slightly apart. The five is quincunx , the center, the
meeting point of the heavens and earth. It is the four cardinal points with the center. It
represents God as Source. and the four greatest forces. It is strength, versatility Five
represents the 'Light'.
I find all this very interesting when I apply the five configurations and meanings to
the Crop Circle that I was drawn to a few weeks back. I did extensive 3 D models and
the geometry was revealing.
No matter which way I configured the intricate angles they always came out to the
representation and depiction of ancient meanings of the Godhead, The Source and the
creation and manifestation of Light upon the Earth plane 3 dimensional time frame.
Taken in context to the other symbols found like my name, repeated numerous times,
and the yin and yang and many wonder other symbols that where found there, it told a
beautiful story of my own spiritual path and beliefs.
When this layout is used in candle burning it moves the energy in a way to strengthen.
It fortifies all within the assigned area. It creates a higher spiritual field. Visions are a
possible manifestation within this field of energy.
6 Pointed Star
The Seal of Solomon. The abstract of creation. The two intersecting triangles
represent the duality of masculine and feminine energies. The elements of fire and
water combined. The are the depiction of "as above, so below" as well known in
metaphysical edicts. Six is equilibrium and harmony.
In most cultures it is seen as the 'perfect' number. In ancient arcane studies the six is
human manifestation upon the earth plane. The two intersecting triangles blend the
perfect polarity of energies. It's frequencies resonate to beauty, luck, love, health and
things "by chance". This is great for meditation.
To burn candles with this layout is good for linking the mental plane with the heart
chakra. It protects and balances. Burning candles in this layout will enhance your own
divine aspects and qualities.
7 Pointed Star
This is the one configuration that affects all the main chakras if one side directly in the
middle. It will balances and align most energies. It is the cycle of completeness. It is
security, safety, rest, and peace. Seven is a reoccurring theme through most ritual
practices.
Seven is a high spiritual number and is also repeated throughout all scriptures. There
are seven knots of 'spellbinding'. The sevenfold principle. There are seven zones of
earth and of heaven. The Tree of Life has seven branches and seven leaves upon those
branches. As you can see the seven is a highly spiritual number. Use it in candle
burning with the most high of intentions. It is the best to use for the 'healing' energies.
First, I recommend a short meditation session, just to clear your energies and help you
focus. This is a very good practice, especially, if you have had a very draining day,
and have come in contact with many negative energies.
Just using public transportation home would be enough of a reason to cleanse first
before you enter the circles of Light and Energy. Can you imagine the effect if you
brought all that conflicting negativity with you in the configuration?
Let's say you want to bring money to you. You need money. Next, you will choose the
appropriate color. You could choose, Gold, Green or Brown. One has to decide the
nature of their money needs. Brown is usually for financial crisis, where Gold is more
for quick money and improving financial flow. Green is more for vast wealth. In this
case some quick money might do, so I would choose Gold.
Next I would set up for the Triangle layout of candles. See the diagrams. At this point
one "dresses" the candle buy cleansing them with a white all cotton cloth. Taking care
to rub in one direction only so there is no conflicting of energies. Rubbing in one
direction "tags" the frequencies and help excite the atoms and molecules.
Sit in the middle of the triangle. Holding the candles in your hand say some blessing
or spiritual affirmation such as, "Oh Universe or Oh Lord, bless these candles." "Give
bounty to my request if all is in balance as I ask it."
The reason we ask this way is that sometimes we 'think' we know what we want or
need - this may or not be true. We see only a small portion of the larger workings of
Universe. Sometimes we are not always aware of the deeper reasons why things are
going on in our lives or around us. As such we may be in direct conflict of what
should be happening, and is supposed to be happening.
This is why we petition but leave it as, I would like this or that, or "if it is in my best
interest". Trust the Universe to know if it fits in with what is supposed to be going on.
We also want to ask in a way that ensures that no others will be harmed or lessened by
our request.
Then we must take care to be very thorough. Yes, there is a reason to be very
thorough. In asking for something, you may know what you mean, but if you do not
state HOW then Universe will supply it by the shortest means possible.
Energy follows the path of least resistance.This means that it will find an opening
any place where there is one. As the creators and orchestra conductor it is up to us to
manage our experiences with the utmost of responsibility. It is said that Universe will
help once we have exhausted our part in availability.
Here is an example of what I mean. Say you ask for some money without the
stipulation, of just how. Now, Universe hears this request and primes all energies.
In the next three days you fell in the grocery store. You injured yourself. You received
a check from their insurance for $1,200. Well, yes, you got your money, but at what
cost? I once asked for a new car. I was tired of the one I had. I asked just in that
manner. "Oh, I said, Universe bring me a new car."
Well, 2 days later Universe brought me a new car. You know how? I got into a car
accident and totaled out my car - well, I got what I asked for didn't I? But look at what
it cost me. My request took the shortest possible path. This episode taught me a very
valuable lesson in petitioning.
Stipulate thoroughly, as to your intent. Have it come in the most balanced way. Make
sure it harms not yourself or others in any way.
Begin lighting the candles in a clockwise movement, in sequence. Never out of
sequence, that is chaotic energy. With each light of the candle reaffirm the desired
object or effect that is wanted.
Next, sit, quietly, for 10 or 15 minutes and visualize the object, etc., surrounded in the
color candles you are using.
Breathe deeply and slowly inside the triangle. After the allowed time is over. Usually,
10 or 15 minutes will be enough time inside the candle layout. Next, you must
extinguish the flame of each candle. Never use the breath to extinguish the flame. The
breath has its own power and source. It will conflict the desired energies. Use a metal
cup or a store bought candle snuffer.
Your session is now over. You may, depending on what you are asking for, want to do
this for several sessions.
I hope you have found this informative and helpful. I wish you much joy and good
health.
Happy Candle Burning!!
