Candles

Magick is only dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, which is one of the reason why most people's spells on here fail, and more than often backfire on them.
They don't have enough knowledge.
In my eyes and many others, there is no such thing as black or white magick, it's energy, and energy has no colour.
Satan is actually not a bad God either.

lol hun...you of course can do what you want...but it looks as though you have been given a sign that it may not be as big of a deal you are making it to be. Prepare for the worse..anything less won't seem so bad. That's my paranoid motto

Practicing magick isn't anything to be ashamed of..even if your folks thought it was not real and still let you do it, it's one step closer ;)

:3 thanks healer

darn D: my heart symbols didn't work

Candles,while a valuable tool,are not the end of the world if you cant use them.Lots of places and people for one reason or another cant/dont use them.
Astral projection is a little advanced for you I feel at this point,just going by what youve said about your self.
In your case I would recomend good meditation to prepare,and visualization to focus your energy.
You can still have good results without candles.

Good point. I tried astral projection last night and failed miserably. Maybe because it's just too hard for me to imagine actually leaving my own body. A reality check of normality I suppose. I'll still keep trying tho x3. In the mean time I'll just take your advice, and meditate and visualize x3.
