The Fire of God

This post will be talking about the misterio in Las 21 Divisiones known as Candelo Cedife. Many of us in the tradition view Candelo as the fire of God, for both creative and destructive purposes. He is primarily concerned with that which he represents, the flame and is also connected to hot emotions, and fiery states of being.

Candelo is represented by St. Charles Borromeo and is always placed next to his amigo Belie Belcan, who was spoken about in a previous post. Candelo is a lover of red whiskey and cigars and is very 'macho'. Candelo has a wife and a child, whom I will not speak of in this post because a whole other post could be dedicated to their mysteries alone. Candelo's color is red, always red and when in possession it is Candelo who handles fire and even eats burning coals. He is a wonderful misterio and very fun to watch.

But like fire itself he can also take the route of being a destructive flame as well. He does have a temper and if he feels you are not being absolutely serious he will burn you, and for good reason. He teaches us to build a good foundation because if we do not, he will burn it to the ground to teach us a lesson.

A Working with Candelo Cedife to Give One Inspiration

Things Needed:

A red candle
A picture of St. Charles Borromeo
A red cloth
A glass of whiskey
A cigar
A strong, manly cologne

The working is simple and should be done on a Thursday. You will set up a small table and place a red cloth over it. On top of the cloth you will stand a framed image of Candelo, or if you cannot get a framed image, simply pin up a printed image on the wall above the table. Place the red candle next to the Whiskey. Light the cigar in front of the table and place it horizontally on top of the glass.

You will now repeat the following prayer:

San Carlos Borromeo, les pido que velará por e inspirar confianza en mí porque tú eres el fuego del Todopoderoso, el Creador. Lo que puede dar y quitar. Concede a mí tus bendiciones. amén
Now you will go to Candelo-

Candelo, I ask that you light the spark of creative inspiration within me and give me the strength of a thousand fires so I may get past the obstacles ahead. Allow me to merge with my goals if only for a short period of time. 

Now pass the cologne above the candle flame, saying:

Arriba Candelo
Give thanks and depart. Now whenever you need inspiration, spray this cologne unto you and know that it is  the inspiring fire of Candelo attaching itself to you, as a personal muse. Have faith in this and do not doubt. When the bottle is empty, be sure to decorate it nicely and give it to Candelo as a bigger thank-you.
