An introduction to candle magick: which color for which purpose

An introduction to candle magick: which color for which purpose

Candle rituals and spells are always an interesting way to enrich your practice, especially if you are a busy witch! By engraving them, oiling them, you can create a unique and personal ritual for your specific purpose. 

 

In many traditions, you let your candle burn to the end, meditating and focusing on what you want. Some witches love to use small candles, even birthday candles, for quick and effective spells. 

 

I love to engrave my candles with runes to express my will. I choose big candles and let them burn in multiple sessions to reinforce the power of my intention. When I am not using it, I keep it on my altar, thinking about it multiple times a day.

I also use a lot of tealight candles to honor deities and elements. For this specific purpose, I use white candles and place them in specific candle holders.

 

By practicing, you'll find what is best for you.

 

But choosing the best candle is not just about size and shape: colors are a key element to focus and be in the right state of mind. To help you find the best for you, I inventoried the main colors and their key ideas. But note that these are mainstream ideas, who can differ according to your inspiration, beliefs, and culture. 

 

Let me give you an example. For money spells, a lot of rituals in the US use the green color, the shade of a dollar banknote. I live in France and our banknotes have different colors. So, in my culture, money spells would be mostly done with gold candles. Which color would you associate with money? More than general rules, your intuition should guide your practice.

 

These are just correspondence and ideas. The most important is always to do as you please, and as you feel.

Good day viewers, I wish to share my testimony with all of you. I have daily 9 to 5 jobs, but while I work, I try my luck at playing instant Lotto. On this particular day, I decided to seek help online regarding tips for winning the lottery, and I saw many individuals testifying about Meduza spells. I reached out to him and informed him that I needed help to win the lottery, and he clarified the process to me, stating that after he casts the spell, it will take 48 hours for him to provide me the winning numbers, which I accepted. I followed all his instructions, and he provided me with the numbers to enter the Lottery. After the draw the following morning, I received a notification on the Lottery app on my phone indicating that I was the lucky winner of $273 million on the New Jersey Lottery and I’m here to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Meduza. If you seek for assistance in any aspect of your life, WhatsApp Meduza via: +1 (807) 907-2687 or Email: lordmeduzatemple@hotmail.com
