Candle magic is simple but very powerful.  There is something about staring into the flame that helps us reconnect to the ancient and magical.  Psychology tells us that specific colors evoke particular emotions.  Well, the same is true in magic and especially so in candle magic!

When choosing the candle, you plan on using for your magic, choose wisely the color you need to help your intention be more apparent to the Universe.  Below are some general guidelines for colors you may want to select.

Colors and Their Meaning

Red—courage, strength, action

Pink—passion, friendship, self-love

Orange—energy, creativity, joy

Yellow—happiness, confidence,

Blue—healing or health, calm, harmony, forgiveness

Green—prosperity, good luck, nature, fertility

Purple—peace, wisdom, magick, truth, imagination

Black—protection, remove negativity, strength

Brown—balance, connection to Mother Earth or grounding, home

Silver—memory, The Moon, intuition, divination

Gold—finances, The Sun, understanding

White—clarity, relaxation, purification

But I don’t have the right color!

Not to worry!  If you do not have the color you need, you can always substitute a white candle.  Good to know, if you are all out of green and need to do a quick prosperity spell!

Caution: Please place your candles where they will be safe and be sure never to leave a candle unattended.
