Choose the color of candles depending on what you want to accomplish. Green is used for money, blue for healing, white for peace or healing, red and pink for romance, etc. You can look for this information online too.
 
Write down your intentions on a piece of paper and read it aloud a few times. It can be in your own words. You don't need to write it poetically or in rhymes.

Just speak with your own voice and focus intently on your thoughts. Visualize it as it has happened already. Allow your emotions to come forth now that your wish has come true. Feel the positive energy around you as you "see" your wish clearly in your subconscious mind as well as your conscious mind. Sit in that mode for as long as you can.
 
Now you can snuff the candle, put the incense out and clean up the altar. Open the sacred circle. Your spell is complete.
