Candle Magic and Colors

Hey everyone! I know that most of you have at least ONE candle in your house, and if that is true then that is great! In this post I, and a few sites that I have borrowed information from, will explain to you what exactly candle magic is and how to use it. Most of the spells and rituals you will use will need to have the use of candles and I will explain the colors so that you know when to use the right color for the right spell. Let's get started!


One of the simplest of magical arts which comes under 
the heading of natural magic is candle burning.  It is simple 
because it employs little ritual and few ceremonial 
artifacts.  The theatrical props of candle magic can be 
purchased at any department store and its rituals can be 
practiced in any sitting room or bedroom.

Most of us have performed our first act of candle magic 
by the time we are two years old.  Blowing out the tiny 
candles on our first birthday cake and making a wish is pure 
magic.  This childhood custom is based on the three magical 
principles of concentration, will power and visualization.  
In simple terms, the child who wants his wish to come true 
has to concentrate (blow out the candles), visualize the end 
result (make a wish) and hope that it will come true( will 
power).

The size and shape of the candles you use is 
unimportant, although highly decorative, extra large, or 
unusually shaped candles will not be suitable as these may 
create distractions when the magician wants to concentrate on 
the important work in hand.  Most magicians prefer to use 
candles of standard or uniform size if possible.  Those which 
are sold in different colors for domestic use are ideal.

The candles you use for any type of magical use should 
be virgin, that is unused.  Under no circumstances use a 
candle which has already adorned a dinner table or been used 
as a bedroom candle or night-light.  There is a very good 
occult reason for not using anything but virgin materials in 
magic.  Vibrations picked up by secondhand materials or 
equipment may disturb your workings and negate their 
effectiveness.

Some magicians who are artistically inclined prefer to
make their own candles for ritual and magical use.  This is a 
very practical exercise because not only does it impregnate 
the candle with your own personal vibrations, but the mere 
act of making your own candle is magically potent.  
Specialist shops sell candle wax and molds together with 
wicks, perfumes, and other equipment.

Now that we have a good understanding of candles, lets look at what the colors mean.
