Candle Magick

I was recently asked for some help casting spells and using candle magick. I gave her some books on the subject that had been recommended to me. If you are interested, you can email me and I will pass the list along to you. (Mommazen@live.com) Although, I may be making a reference page soon and listing books that I have in my collection and recommendations from other pagans as well.

Anyway... I wanted to give a list of candle colors and what they can be used for. Certain rituals call for certain colors, depending on what emotion or goal you are trying to reach. In my personal opinion, I have always used color based on the connection I feel with that color. If I am missing the desired color, I usually go with white. There are two reasons for that. The first of which being that white represents the Goddess to me and a clean slate. Secondly, the color white is the combination of ALL color. So obviously, the color I need is in there somewhere.

Here is the list:

* White *
The Goddess

Purity
Peace
Virginity
(substitutes any other color)

When I work with candle magick I like to anoint my candles with an oil, either one used in the ritual itself, one that corresponds with the candle color (I  may add a list of commonly used oils at a later date), or one that sparks a memory related to what I am trying to achieve. I also use this when I am sending energy to a friend or into a given situation for a desired outcome.

**Now, once again, I feel I need to remind those who have not read my entire blog... I am NOT Wiccan. But I am a witch and do practice magick. I don't always follow the same rules when casting spells that most Wiccans follow. For the most part, I rarely interfere with others free will. But there have been occasions when I have. I do my best to make sure the spells I cast only influence me or the person who asked me to cast for them. But it doesn't always work that way. I am a firm believer in karma though, so be careful... what goes around will come back at you at least 3 fold! (learned that the hard way)**

I will post a simple candle magick spell that I use to attract positive things into my life on the ritual page. I refrain from posting other spells because I do not support dabbling. It can be dangerous if you don't know what you are really doing. But I believe that this spell anyone can do, despite religious beliefs. If you feel uncomfortable calling it a spell, think of it as more of a positive affirmation! And you can always insert your God's name in place of my reference to the Goddess.

Brightest Blessings and Blessed Be!!
