Jacki Smith, owner of Coventry Candles, one of the largest suppliers of magic candles in the US, has been crafting magic candles for more than twenty years. In Coventry Magic with Candles, Oils, and Herbs, she shares the history of candle magic along with the recipes, spells, and divinations anyone can use to increase love, prosperity, luck, and abundance.
Coventry Magic is not your mama’s candle magic; this is candle magic for our complicated 21st century lives. Coventry Magic explores not only what color candle to use for a specific need but how to dig down deep inside and find out what that need really is.
So many times what we think is the problem is only the symptom of the bigger problem. Jacki Smith uses the humor of her own life experiences to show readers how to sort through the traps and tricks they’ve laid for themselves. Her self-evaluation system helps ferret out the underlying issues and beliefs that can often sabotage magical spells. This book helps readers get to the meat of issues and solve them in a magical, life-changing way.
Coventry Magic will be an invaluable reference for beginners as well as experienced magic practitioners—the ultimate candle magic reference book.

Thanks for the giveaway. I enjoy using candles in my everyday life to celebrate the holidays and to manifest goals,
What a fantastic giveaway. Candle magic is a staple for me
I use candles occasionally but would use them more if I learned more about their uses.
Yes, even when day-to-day life is too hectic for a full blown ritual, I find I always have time to carve a couple of runes into the wax (to represent my intentions), light the candle and enjoy the magic!
I, too, like using candles as a quick method of magic but I also like to work with the more complex forms of candle magic like dressing and dusting, carving, and loading. Add to that the shaped novelty, knob, and novena candles and you’ve got a lot of spellwork options!
I can’t wait to see this book–it looks fascinating!
Thanks for this giveaway! I just recently learned a little about candle magic and have not put it to use just yet, but would love to win this book so I can learn more and put it to practice in my daily life!

I not only do candle magic, I do candle magic with coventry creations candles, particularly the blessed herbal line. I do some ceromancy along with my candles, looking for signs of my spell working in how the candle burns. Coventry candles always give me a great result, so I feel like my spells are better because of it. I’m now getting ready to do my own line of candles and am working with coventry creations to make it happen!
Candle and herb magics were the first two forms of magic I officially learned. Candle magic has a simple elegance and draw that I enjoy.
I’ve done candle magic once to ward off a hateful landlord. Worked…but scared me too!

I am very interested in candle magic and what to learn more!
I have tried candle magic a couple times (I’m a beginner) and I hope to continue refining my practice…
Hi, I follow on Twitter!! This book looks great!
Well, a little over a year ago, I did a very powerful candle spell that involved not only the candle itself, but oil & symbols as well. It was a “crossroads” spell. I used the candle, which was burned every night along with a spoken incantation, to “unblock” my path because I was feeling stagnant and was having issues releasing past hurts. It helped, a lot.
I do some candle majick, but would love to do more!
