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.
