The November new moon is all about creating a sanctuary. In many places, winter is starting and we instinctively want to keep safe and warm. This spell is a fun way to incorporate this idea both physically and spiritually. You will need:

• Incense
• Lighter or matches
• Your favorite music
• A pillar candle (in the color of your choosing)
• A straight pin (for carving)
• Citrus or ylang-ylang essential oil (optional)
• A firesafe dish
• Pillows and blankets

First create your space by lighting the incense and putting on your favorite music. Next, take your pillar candle and carve into it lengthwise from top to bottom (wick to base) something related to home. Examples include protection, comfort, home, cozy, or sanctuary. Once you have carved your candle, anoint it with essential oil if you like, then place it in a firesafe dish and light it. Feel the energy of the candle filling your space as you organize a comfy spot of your pillows and blankets and settle in. Enjoy the safety and warmth of your home as the candle burns. Extinguish your candle before you go to bed, and light it each night until it is gone.
