A Simple Spell:
To Reach a Decision

- A blue and / or orange candle (wisdom and / or change)
- Lighter or matches
- Pen and 2 pieces of paper
Action:
- Write a list of pros and cons of taking the job.
- Place the list either in front of the candle(s) or beside / between them.
- Light the candles and meditate over the list.
- Chant:
Grant me the wisdom to make a choice.
Give me the spiritual guidance to do what is right.
Fill me with courage to take the right stand.
