The first month of the new year is nearly over. Have you broken your resolutions or do you feel stuck in a rut? This spell will get you going in the right direction again. You’ll need a candle on a heatproof surface (an orange candle is best, but anything other than black will do), matches or a lighter, and a knife.

Light the candle and pass the knife through the flame so that you cut the flame in half. Don’t extinguish it though, or you’ll have to start over! Do this nine times, and each time you do it, say:

I cut away what binds me
So the fire of success may
burn inside me.

Pinch the candle flame out between your thumb and middle finger. Your chances of being successful in your endeavors have just increased!
