Effective Jan 2nd, 2019 I am taking time off from my rootwork practice in order to devote more time to continuing my weight loss journey, pursuing my own interest, as well as to focus on my writing projects and generally have more time to myself.
At this time, I do not know how long I will be away. However, part of my interest include continuing making videos for my youtube channel and starting my astrology blog. . I will also continue to post my daily tarot draw on my instagram page and may post some content on my facebook business page. I will NOT be answering questions / emails nor will I be accepting any orders for any reason. Any orders placed will be promptly refunded without hesitation.
Thank you.

Setting of Lights $20.00
Setting Lights is just another service offered by Rev. Carolina Dean. The setting of lights entails the burning of a fixed Vigil-Candle on top of a client’s petition for a period of 5 to 7 days, however long it takes for a candle to burn down. When you engage me to set lights for you, I will ritually prepare a Vigil Light in accordance with traditional techniques and for your specific issue, condition, or situation. Your light will be set the morning after your payment is sent and you will receive your candle burn report about 7 days later. Each candle burn report comes with a photo of your spent candle, my notes and observations, and in some cases a spiritual prescription that you can choose to either follow up on yourself or ignore completely.
Setting of Lights: A Rootworker's Perspective
Setting Lights, or candle-altar service, is a service offered by many spiritual-workers and owners of candle-shops. The setting of lights entails the burning of a fixed Vigil-Candle on top of a client’s petition for a period of 5-7 days, however long it takes for the candle to burn. Each worker has his or her own process and today I would like to explain my methods in further detail.
All of my business is conducted through my website, and I have many choices of candle types to select from. Typically a client will purchase their candle and the payment comes to me via paypal. However, sometimes a client will email me first with a description of their issue or condition and I will recommend an appropriate candle.
Once I receive the order, the client is emailed a confirmation as soon as possible explaining that their candle will be lit the following day and to expect their report in 7-10 days. The reason for this is simple. I have a day job and am not home 24 hours a day to start candles the same day. If someone orders a candle at 2:00 am on a Tuesday I am sleeping. I will generally send them a confirmation that morning when I wake up. However, I do not have time to go through my process that day. Their candle will be prepared that evening when I return from work and lit the following morning.
The process begins when I print the paypal receipt containing all the client's information. I also print an appropriate label and glue it to a candle. On a legal pad in which each page is dedicated to a specific client's candle I write down the following information which will form the basis of my candle-burn reports.

On a legal pad in which each page is dedicated to a specific client's candle I write down the following information which will form the basis of my candle-burn reports.
- Name of Client: The person who ordered the candle.
- Email Address: The address I will be emailing the candle burn report
- Date Started: The day the candle was lit.
- Moon Phase: The Moon Phase and sign the moon occupies when the candle was lit.
- Date Ended: Obviously this area is left blank and filled in later.
- Moon Phase: Again this is filled in later.
- Number of Times Re-lit: How many times, if any, the candle went out and had to be lit again.
- Target: I.E., the person the candle is intended to affect if not the client themselves.
- Notes: In this section I will note my observations about how the candle is burning.
The necessary herbs, roots, and oil(s) are then pulled down and set aside with the candle. If the client has not provided me with a petition, I write one up myself and set it aside. If the client has provided me with a written petition, that is also printed out and set aside.
I then fix the candle with the herbs and dress it with the oils. The candle is then set on the altar with the petition underneath until the following morning as it is my preference that all candles fixed for positive purposes be lit first thing in the morning shortly before sunrise so that love, health, wealth, prosperty, etc... grow with the Sun.
The following morning, I light the altar candles and incense on my altar and offer up my morning prayers. I then remove the client's petition from under their Vigil Light, and read it over carefully. I five spot the petition with a specific condition oil and then smoke it in incense as I pray for their cause. The petition is then folded and placed under the Vigil Light. The Vigil Light is sealed with prayer and by knocking on it three times. Finally the candle is lit and allowed to burn

The candle is observed over the following days and I note my observations on the legal pad. When the candle is spent it is removed from the altar and placed in a designated spot in my office along with the sheet torn from the legal pad where I will write up the candle-burn report. The candle is photographed against a backdrop for clarity, the photograph is emailed to me an the candle is moved to my desk.
At my desk I open up an email and transcribe all my notes into an email to the client in a clear, logical order. I explain how the candle burned, any sounds it may have made any odd occurrences, any signed left behind in the wax or herb matter, etc....All pictures are inserted into the email and / or added as attachments. Finally, I give the client a Spiritual Prescription, that is any follow up work that I recommend me done.
In addition to the client, I always BCC a special email address which I have set up specially to archive all candle-burn reports (and tarot-readings) that I send out for record-keeping purposes. I also print these reports and place them in a special journal I keep as a hard-copy.
The clients petition is then burned and dropped inside the Vigil Light glass after which it is disposed of. If I hear back from the client within three days, I will make a note of their feedback in the journal. If I do not hear back from the client within three days I send them a follow up email with a link to my online feedback form. If they chose to fill out the simple form, I will make note of their feedback in the journal. If they do not fill out the form, I will not ask again.

What You Can Expect From a Setting of Lights
Before you decide to have lights set for your goal, you should have a realistic expectation of what the process can do for you. First of all having a light set for you is not the same as hiring a worker to do a full-on spell or ritual on your behalf. Spells often take more preparation, time, and energy to perform and will be more expensive. Many spiritual workers believe that setting a light for your goal is an excellent way to begin work on a particular goal. The process is more economical and once completely burned a divination on the light will give you an indication of your success or failure as well as any additional steps which may need to be taken.
Depending on your situation or problem, a single vigil light may not be enough to get the job done. However, having a light set for your goal will often open doors and get movement on your particular issue. That being said when having a light set, you are making a commitment to achieving a goal. You cannot expect the candle to do all the work for you and you will be expected to do your part. For example, if you have a light set for you to obtain work, you must make an active search for work, apply for jobs, send out resumes, show up for interviews, etc….

Backing Up the Work
This refers to when a person is performing spiritual work on their own behalf and they also hire a spiritual worker to burn a vigil light for their same goal. Sometimes the worker and the client will work in tandem, meaning that they will time the lighting of their candles so that both parties are working at the exact same time depending on their geographical location.
How Often Should Lights Be Set?
Often a client will ask to have lights set in runs, which means that they wish the worker to light a new candle for the same goal as soon as, or shortly before, the old one burns out. Before deciding to have lights set in runs for you, you should at least wait for the first candle to burn out and consider what information the divination of the candle tells you.
Many spiritual workers adhere to the adage 3 days for a sign, 3 weeks for movement, 3 months for completion. Therefore, it usually takes about three weeks before you will begin to see movement on your issue, if at all.
If the signs are positive and you see movement on the issue within three weeks, you probably won’t need to have another light set. In some cases, the divination may indicate additional work that may need to be performed such as a ritual bath, or a honey jar.
If the signs are negative and there is a noticed lack of movement on your issue, it could indicate strong obstacles which will have to be dealt with before you can accomplish your goal. However, one must always consider the possibility that one’s goal simply isn't’ meant to be.
