Candle Burning to Petition the Male Saints

Last NAN I explained how to petition the female Saints with special requests. This time around I'll provide some instruction on how to ask to be put in the cosmic care of the Male Saints . These are very ancient pagan rituals, which have been popularized by the Christian Church. The basic methodology is to put your request under the appropriately coloured candle on the suggested day of the week along with an image of the Saint (which you can often find on the Internet) and/or a symbol or emblem that represents the Saint. Saint Anthony of Padua On a Tuesday burn a brown candle for special requests, a green candle for financial help or an orange candle to find a husband. St. Anthony's is a wonderworker when it comes to finding lost articles, improving the memory and bringing back a strayed lover. His emblem is the lily. Saint Alphonsu Liguori On a Thursday, light a purple candle to ask for help with sore, aching muscles, joint pain and arthritis. Anything to do with the bones. Saint Aloysius Burn a blue candle on a Wednesday to settle domestic disputes and also banish flu, fevers and contagious diseases. Saint Bartholomew On a Tuesday burn a red candle and ask this Saint to reveal the truth to you if you feel like something is being hidden or concealed from you. You can also ask him for protection from violence, violent death and protection and healing while undergoing surgery. His emblem is the butcher knife. Saint Benedict Burns a white candle on a Saturday to ask for protection against a variety of evil influences: against poisons, evil temptations, contagious diseases, safety during storms, and assistance during times of healing and death. Saint Benedict also helps heal animals and increase prosperity. His emblem is a raven or a broken cup
