Intro to Candle Magick

Let's talk about Candle Magick! !Read all the way through so you don't miss anything! I use candles as an energy transference/creator. If you're looking for a basic gateway into the practice of magick, candle magick is the way to go. It becomes very simple after that first ritual. Kind of like riding a bike. Candles are coordinated by colors. So depending on what ever result you are attempting to achieve, you must align your candle's color with it's purpose.

Here are the colors and their purpose:

White-Purification,Clearing,Cleaning,Healing, Peace, Used for the Ancestors, also can be substituted for all colors
Black-Binding, Protection, Banishing, Summoning dark spirits,
Purple-Intuition,Healing of major diseases, Physic Ability, Power, Mastery, Prophetic Dreams, Controlling/Commanding
Blue-Healing, Communication, Abundance, Harmony, Peace
Green-Money, Properity, Wealth, Business Success, Good Luck
Pink-Love, Friendships, Attraction
Orange-Concentration, Creativity, Control, Legal Matters
Red-Sex Magick,Power, Courage, Romance, Fertility Spells
Yellow-Happiness, Gold, Court Cases, Mental Clarity

Now, once you've got your candle, you must dress it with an essential oil aligned with it's purpose.
For example, Bergamont is excellent for banishing, also can be used for money spells. Lavender can be used for purifying your energy or to promote love.I am not going to list the oils here. The list can be extensive.

Although, I will tell you how to dress it. If you are pulling in an energy, say you want to bring prosperity to yourself, you will dab a little Pine oil on your fingertips, start from the top of the candle and pull the oil towards the middle. Stop at the middle. Take a bit more oil, begin at the bottom of your candle, taking the oil all the way to the middle. I dress my candle till all sides are covered. Creating a twisting motion works fine as well.

Now, if you are sending energy away, for example, banishing a bad habit, you will begin from the middle and pull outwards to the ends of the candle.

As you dress your candles, you are also "talking" to it. Whether you choose to do this verbally or not is up to you. You are basically commanding you candle. Telling your candle it's purpose and the goal you have for it. If you are already skilled in sending your own energy to an object(gemstones for instance), doing this with your candle will enhance the results.

If using glass encased candles, just rub a few drops on top.

Your candles can also talk back to you. Flames have different meanings.
Low flame-There is a strong obstacle, results may reveal slowly.More work may have to be done
High flame-Candle will be successful is gaining results
Jumping flame-Possible spiritual battle or it could be the called on spirit speaking to you. Watch for omens on the glass, if glass encased.
Flame is sizzling or hissing, a message coming through from a spiritual being
Black soot on top of glass-negativity showing up

White soot-obstacles or your spirits were successful

White smoke-your spirits hear you and are working in your favor

If using glass encased candles watch the images that appear on the glass. This sort of divination will give you further sight into your works.

Always have faith that your work is being done. If you doubt yourself, you can bet you will not get any results back.

Know the laws of the Universe. If you choose to use this practice to harm another, EXPECT what you put out to come right back at you.


Worried about where you are going to place your candle?? Make an alter. Alters can be set up on a clear dresser or a small table.
Items that can be placed on your alter:
Figurines
Soil from the earth
Sea Salt water
Pictures of saints and deities
Pictures of ancestors
Gemstones
Incense
Flowers(Living,not plastic)
Books

Make it reflective of you. Make it your own.

Never put your candle out with water or by hand. Place a cup or plate over it to cut oxygen supply.
