Candle Magick.

Introduction.

Candle magic is an ancient art and it is the most widely used magic practiced today.

Blowing out candles on a birthday cake, is also an act of candle magic - but most of people do not know this. Candles on a cake are put in a circle, to resemble moon.

The candle itself is a very powerful magical tool it contains all the basic elements: earth, wind, fire and water, earth is represented in the wax, water the melted wax, the flame fire and the air is the smoke.

The different colours also represent either a yin female or yang male energy, yellow is yin, green is yang, blue is yin and red is yang.

If during your ritual you need a lot of power, light multiple candles.


Magical tips on candles.

It’s always a good idea to clean candles, this will strengthen their power.

... i've read that candles should be light using matches, not a cigarette lighter. i do not know how important this is, however.

Candles prefer not to be blown out, but to be put out using a toll or wet fingertips, blowing out the candle may insult the element.

It is best to use a different candle for each magical purpose, if you are using a red candle for love and a white one for healing, keep them separate.

A white candle is symbolic of purity and can be used in place of any other colour.

Engraving a candle is a good way to bring about your wish and by adding a letter of the magical alphabet you will bring mystery and connection to the ancient art of Wicca. A simple example could be to engrave a heart for love and a dollar sign for wealth in your ritual.

If a candle goes out whilst you are practicing doing magic, this is a sign, a message.

Looking into the flame of a candle is the perfect way to regain or strengthen focus.

Some simple yet powerful candle magic is to write your wish on a piece of paper and fold it in half, light one corner with the candle flame and hold the paper as long as you can before the flame reaches your fingers.
