Rue Candle

Rue has several magical uses--including prosperity magic. There is a "traditional" prayer to request financial or other assistance, which can be repeated over a candle scented with rue.

English version
My work is hard, but I'm strong and I do not complain
My rewards are few, but I treasure what I have
My needs are great, but my petitions are small
Asking only for what is just, I wait with quiet patience
Receiving in humble gratitude.
Italian version
Il mio lavoro è duro, ma sono forte e non protesto
le mie ricompense sono poco, ma apprezzo che cosa i
miei bisogni sono grande, ma le mie petizioni sono piccolo
chiedere soltanto che cosa è giusto, io attendono con pazienza calma
che riceve nel ringraziamento umiliare.

Verbally state your petition after the prayer and light the candle.

As rue-scented candles might be hard to find, you can also annoint a green or white taper with olive oil and roll it in powdered rue leaves.
