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

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 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.

Candles of different colours are used in practising candle magic. The colours are used in accordance with these basic principles;

  • White is for magic centred around the spirit, peace and serenity.
  • Red candles for magic concerned with health and vitality, strength, courage and sexual potency.
  • Pink is (not surprisingly for love and romance.
  • Yellow candle help with intellect, memory and your creative imagination.
  • Green Candle Magic is for fertility, plenty, fortune and harmony
  • Blue candles help with inspiration and occult wisdom, also protection &                 devotion
  • Purple is used to work magic regarding material wealth, improved psychic ability,                       sacred power and optimism
  • Silver candles are for clairvoyance, inspiration, astral energy and intuition
  • Orange Candle Magic is used for aspiration. career and the law.

I hope you have enjoyed this first post on my “Wiccan Ways Blog”, I will describe in future articles some methods I use when practising candle magic myself. The essence of performing any magic is concentration.

If you have used candle magic yourself to good effect or have any questions or comments, I would love to hear from you.

May the God and Goddess, smile on your universe.

Peace be with you always…
