Oil should be applied with both hands in a stroking motion.
Candles represent the element of fire in rituals and are also used for concentration and focus.
Always make sure to check your candle as a test, as you would with incense before beginning a ritual.
Bad odors or burning the wrong way as with cheap incense can ruin a ritual.

If you are summoning a Demon, performing a spell that is related to a planetary sphere, or a ritual that requires a certain type of incense, the listings below should be of help.
