Candle Burning to Petition the Female Saints
Here they are, our Ladies of Mercy and Divine Benevolence.
Petitioning the Saints for Special Favours has been a big
subject in the chat rooms lately, so in the spirit of Christmas
and the Goddess energies associated with these martyrs and
popularized pagan deities, I have compiled a list that tells you
how to use candle burning to request favours. When you ask the
Catholic Saints for help, it is common to write your request on
a piece of paper and place it on the appropriately coloured
candle. If a totem animal, emblem or object is suggested, you
can also place that item, or a picture of that item on her altar
as well. If you can find a picture of the Saint in a religious
store and place it on the altar that is even better. Saint Agnes
Burn a white or blue candle on a Friday to ask for her help to:
keep a husband faithful, find a soulmate, or reveal dishonesty
in a relationship (find out the truth about someone). Her animal
is the lamb. Saint Ann (also known as Anne and Ana) Burn a white
candle on a Monday to ask her for a peaceful and happy home. She
is the patron Saint of grandmothers, housekeepers, housewives,
mothers and women in labour. Petition her for help with the deaf
and the blind. Saint Barbara Burn a red candle on a Saturday to
drive a way evil, to protect your relationship from rivals, to
protect yourself from meddling in-laws, to clear your path of
obstacles, to help someone be released from prison and for
protection from storms. She is also the patron saint of wives
whose men are at war. Her emblem is the Tower. Saint Maria
Goretti Burn a pink candle on a Friday to ask for fidelity in
marriage, help with an abusive or battering male partner and a
pardon from the death penalty. Saint Brigid of Kildare Burn a
yellow candle on a Sunday to ask her: to become fertile, for
healing, for happiness and health of pets and farmyard animals,
to assist with breeding livestock, for inspiration, for literary
gifts (especially poetry) and the gift of prophecy. Her symbol
is a cow. Saint Clare of Assisi Burn a white candle on a Monday
for protection against astral attack and for help overcoming
addiction to drug and alcohol. Saint Catherine of Alexandria
