Candle Magic is a very powerful form of Sympathetic magic whose origins can be traced back for many thousands of years. Candle burning is a very simple form of natural magic because it uses very few ceremonial artefacts to be performed.
As with all forms of magic, the Wiccan Rede should be kept in mind. For magic, be it worked for good or ill will return to you three-fold. The Rede states, “An harm to none do what thou wilt”. The is good practise and sound advice.
Candle Magic - Simple Yet Powerful
Performing Candle Magic will usually happen over the course of a few days, so when picking a location to perform your art, pick a place free of disturbances and outside influences and be sure not to have your candles where they can set fire to their surroundings (away from curtains and the like). This may seem obvious though it is worth saying just in case.
You have to be very precise when performing any kind of magic, and candle magic is no different. Your candle magic will effect the entire world around you so be very careful in what you ask for, for if performed precisely you will receive what you asked for, if you believe and keep your focus your wishes will indeed come true.
