As October fades and November draws near, the energy around us shifts in powerful ways. This transition period offers a perfect chance to let go of old habits, negative thoughts, and anything holding you back from your best life.
Candle magic has been used for centuries to help people release burdens and invite positive change, making it an ideal practice for this special time of year.
1. The Veil-Lifting Manifestation Spell
Halloween marks a magical time when the veil between worlds grows thin, creating extraordinary opportunities for transformation. This spell harnesses that unique energy by using three colored candles, each with its own purpose.
Black candles help release burdens you’ve carried too long. Purple connects you to spiritual wisdom and guidance. Red-orange flames represent the new dreams you want to manifest.
Write what you wish to release on one paper and your desires on another. Burn the release paper first, watching your limitations turn to ash. Then burn your desires paper, symbolizing your dreams taking flight into the universe.
2. Waning Moon Release Ritual
Did you know the moon’s phases directly affect energy flow on Earth? When the moon wanes, its shrinking light creates perfect conditions for banishing what you no longer need.
Gather a black or white candle, a fireproof bowl, paper, and pen for this simple yet powerful ritual. Write down the negative habits or thoughts you’re ready to release from your life.
Light your candle and burn the paper in the bowl while visualizing the unwanted energy dissolving like morning fog. Finish by sprinkling salt around your space to cleanse any lingering negativity and seal your fresh start.
3. The Black Candle of Severance
Sometimes we need to cut ties that drain our energy or keep us stuck in unhealthy patterns. This spell creates a clean break from harmful connections using focused intention and symbolic items.
Carve symbols of separation into a black candle, then anoint it with oil. Bind a personal item like a hair strand with a broken chain or nail to represent the connection you’re severing.
As the candle burns, picture the ties between you and the negative influence snapping like brittle threads. Burn the bound item completely, then cleanse your space with sage or incense to remove all traces of the old bond.
4. Samhain Releasing Spell
Samhain, celebrated on October 31st, honors endings and new beginnings as nature prepares for winter’s rest. Ancient cultures recognized this night as powerful for releasing what weighs us down.
Light a black candle to tap into Samhain’s transformative energy. Take a moment to reflect on what you’ve been carrying that no longer helps you grow or brings you joy.
Write these burdens on paper with honesty and intention. Hold the paper in the candle’s flame, watching it curl and burn. Feel the weight lifting from your shoulders as the smoke carries your troubles away, leaving space for better things ahead.
5. Paper Burning Release Spell
Fire transforms everything it touches, turning solid objects into smoke and ash in moments. This ancient element has always represented change, purification, and the power to start fresh.
You’ll need just four simple items: paper, pen, fireproof dish, and a black candle. Write what you’re releasing in clear words, being specific about the attachment or pattern you want gone.
Light the paper from the candle flame and place it in the dish. Watch the transformation happen, visualizing the old energy dissolving completely. Take the cooled ashes outside and scatter them in running water or on the earth.
6. Same Day Candle Burning Ritual
Sometimes you need immediate change rather than a drawn-out process. This focused ritual compresses release work into a single powerful day, creating swift transformation through sustained intention.
Choose a candle that will burn completely in one day, usually taking six to eight hours. Light it in the morning and set your clear intention to release old energies that block your progress.
Throughout the day, return to the candle periodically to reconnect with your purpose. As the wax melts away completely, your unwanted patterns dissolve too. By evening, you’ll feel noticeably lighter and ready for what comes next.
7. November Abundance Jar Spell
Financial worries often stem from limiting beliefs we’ve absorbed over time. This spell combines releasing those mental blocks with actively inviting prosperity into your life as November begins.
Fill a mason jar with cinnamon, cloves, green aventurine, and bay leaves—all traditional abundance attractors. Write down one limiting belief about money, then tear the paper while speaking your release out loud.
Seal the jar and place it near your workspace or front door. Light a gold or green candle beside it for fifteen minutes daily throughout the first week. This consistent practice rewires your mindset for prosperity.
8. Runic Shield Spell for Energy Protection
Protection magic isn’t just about blocking harm—it also releases negative energy already clinging to you. The Algiz rune, resembling a person with arms raised, has protected Norse people for over a thousand years.
Cleanse yourself and your space before lighting a black candle. Hold hematite, a grounding stone, while focusing on your intention to release negativity and shield your energy from future drains.
Pass the Algiz rune through the candle flame three times while chanting your protective intention. Visualize a bright shield forming around your body, repelling anything that doesn’t serve your highest good. Keep the hematite with you afterward for continued protection.
